Happy 35th, Hubble! A Legacy of Cosmic Wonder and Mind-Blowing Discoveries
It’s hard to believe that the Hubble Space Telescope has been peering into the depths of the universe for 35 years. The telescope, which was famously launched with a broken mirror on April 24, 1990, had a rough start but went on to become one of the most transformative scientific instruments ever. It was launched on the Space Shuttle Discovery. Orbiting Earth roughly 340 miles above the surface, Hubble has given humanity front-row seats to the cosmos, capturing images of galaxies, nebulae, and phenomena previously unimaginable. On its 35th birthday, we look back at 10 awe-inspiring moments when Hubble reshaped our understanding of space.

I Spent the Night in the Most Haunted Place in My City — I Still Regret It
Everyone in my city knows about the "Old Mirza Mansion". Nestled at the end of a forgotten road, shrouded in overgrown trees and silence, it's the kind of place even GPS avoids. Growing up, we heard all kinds of stories about it—that a woman jumped to her death from the second floor, that the walls bleed during the full moon, and that once you enter, something follows you home.

The Teddy That Talked Back
Mim was the name of a young girl. Mim had a teddy bear named Teddy. One night, when Mim fell asleep, Teddy started talking. "Let's go out tonight," Teddy told Mim. Mim concurred. They both went to the garden after leaving the house. The garden had a lot of beautiful flowers. Teddy and Mim played with the butterflies and talked to the flowers. After that, they visited a spring. The moon was shining in the spring water. Mim liked it very much. Then Teddy started flying with Mim on his back. They reached a strange land after flying over the clouds. There, everything was different. The trees were talking, and the birds were singing. Mim and Teddy had a lot of fun there. When it was morning, Teddy brought Mim back to their garden. Mim saw that she was lying on her own bed. She thought, "Was it a dream?" However, Teddy was jokingly sitting next to her. Mim realized that it was not a dream, it was real. She gave Teddy a big hug and told him, "You are my best friend." Then Mim fell asleep again, and Teddy started guarding her.

The Clockwork Salon
I. A Crack in Time It began with a hum. Not a sound, exactly, but a vibration—like the low tremble of an idea before it finds form. Leonardo da Vinci paused, charcoal still smudging his fingertips, and looked up from his unfinished sketch. The room around him—the familiar stone walls of his Florentine workshop—flickered.

Upper Paradise for the Dante
So, I was stuck in the boonies and the bus came and I thought of the Comedy. He had a poet - Virgil - to travel with him and I get techno without headphones and we are heading downtown so it is deeper into purgatory (honestly, it looks like the Bruce Trail to me). And we are supposed to think that the terminus is now heaven (oh my, it is completely in reverse and I want to stay back on)? Did I really forget this after all this time? Did I not learn a thing from the Italian master? Really?

The Weight of Unsent Things
A man stands by the ticket machine at the half-deserted train station. Morning fog curls around his shoes like smoke from a dying fire. He fingers the coin in his pocket as if weighing something heavier than fare. On the opposite platform, a woman adjusts the strap of her leather satchel, then smooths her coat, though there is no wind.
