THE SCALE OF THE UNIVERSE - Possibly The Coolest Science App Ever!

Curated by Cayla Tamburello

 This has to be one of the most comprehensive scales we've ever come across, measuring from a singular string on a quark's head, to the size of entire observable universe.

The whole thing is mind-boggling to think about; but enough talk, go see for yourselves.

STARSH!P SALUTES - The Batman of Birmingham

by M Jvlian Simmons 


Do you remember the Batman of Birmingham?

I do, STARSH!Ppers, and he's largely why I do what I do, as Omn!pax.

This is another resonant occurrence of one who uses his vehicle to help people, and in our own hometown too.

A man who used his own money and ingenuity to assist any in need of help in our city during the 1970s and 80s.

We felt that his story belonged in our STARSH!P archives, being a big influence of mine, and largely the inspiration for the Omn!pax character, so we present all we can find on this influential man in this article [which includes links to related stories/articles].

Willie Perry, an ALABAMA legend; R.I.P..

BTW - August 3rd is Willie Perry Day in Birmingham, AL. It'd be nice to be able to once again celebrate this man's contribution to our city and her people.

Ijs.
