I quit Instagram and Facebook and it made me happier — and that's a big problem for social...
The first time I truly took a break from social media was in 2015, at a summer camp for burned-out adults called "Camp Grounded." There were three rules: Take a camp name of your choosing, like Luna or Huckleberry, avoid talking about "W," meaning work, and ditch all electronics at the door. At an arrival ceremony deep in the California Redwoods, volunteers in hazmat suits zipped up our devices into brown bags, leaving them locked away in a so-called "Robot Decontamination Area."

Astronomers Are Tracking Four Potential Interstellar Objects Now In Our Outer Solar System
Using detailed computer models of asteroidal-type objects between the Sun and Jupiter, two Harvard University researchers find that at least four known objects are likely to have origins from outside our solar system. After becoming gravitationally-trapped, the four potentially interstellar objects --- 2011 SP25, 2017 RR2, 2017 SV13, and 2018 TL6 --- are thought to spend most of their time between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune. However, during their closest approaches to the Sun, they do pass through Earth’s neighborhood.

VILSHULT is an IKEA ready-to-hang photo of Amsterdam that has been sold over 427,000 times.

What I learned was fascinating.
