An appeal for help from a desperate woman has been opened and read more than 300 years after the man it was sent to refused to accept delivery – not surprisingly, since the wealthy merchant in The Hague must have suspected it contained the unwelcome news that he was about to become a father.
That’s how The Guardian begins its story about what historians are learning from a 17th-century postmaster’s trunk containing 2,600 undelivered letters. The letters were sent from France, Spain and the Spanish Netherlands between 1689 and 1706, and they were written by all kinds of people – aristocrats, spies, peasants. They were never delivered because their recipients either couldn’t be found or wouldn’t pay the postage costs.
Now a team of international experts is using x-ray technology to … basically read other people’s mail. But it’s totally OK! Cus it’s for history.

There has to be some good 17th century gossip buried in these letters. -Emily

7 Things That Happen When You Go To Space
nasa:
Told Through Astronaut Scott Kelly’s Tweets
Astronaut Scott Kelly is currently spending a year in space. Most expeditions to the space station last four to six months. By doubling the length of this mission, researchers hope to better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight. During this one-year mission, Kelly is also participating in the Twins Study. While Kelly is in space, his identical twin brother, retired NASA Astronaut Mark Kelly, will participate in a number of comparative genetic studies.
Here are a few things that happen when astronauts go to the space station:
1. Your personal hygiene takes on a different form:
2. Sleeping arrangements might take some getting used to:
3. Internet services will remind you of the 90s:
4. You never have to do laundry:
5. You get to become immersed in a range of different cultures:
6. All of your water is recycled…yes…that means urine too:
7. You get to see the Earth like never before:

Get ready to stare in WONDER.
Our Renwick Gallery – which houses @americanartmuseum‘s craft and decorative arts program – reopens Nov. 13 after a major two-year renovation.
For the inaugural exhibition WONDER, nine contemporary artists have reimagined the historic space as a giant, immersive work of art. They use unexpected materials (discarded tires, and yes, those are real bugs) and painstaking labor (mountains of index cards individually glued together, or thousands of threads hung by hand). While visually diverse, all of these works transform the ordinary into the awe-inspiring.
The Renwick was the first building in the U.S. built to be an art museum. Now’s your chance to see it as you never have before.
