Meet the Elements

View Comments

One of my favorite bands is They Might Be Giants, famous for quirky songs including one of my science-related favorites “Why Does the Sun Shine?” with the amazing line which caught my interest immediately when I first heard it:

“The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace! Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees”

It is with great pleasure that I stumbled on (courtesy of Mr. Gunn’s FriendFeed) one of their latest creations, “Meet the Elements” which I have embedded below for your enjoyment:

Awesome!
