Stranger Things Shares Common Themes With This Ellen Page Video Game
Stranger Things, a show so continually obsessed over that it's become a game of find that reference, is still fascinating fans. The thriller pays tribute to a ton of iconic shows and movies, sometimes in ways that make the audience feel rewarded and cool, and other times in ways that make people feel like conspiracy theorists tumbling down an endless rabbit hole filled with mystery waffles. Of all the roughly 8,362 different influences in the canon of influences that the creators confirmed inspired the series, the PlayStation game Beyond Two Souls starring Ellen Page isn't one of them. But the interactive drama adventure game and the Netflix series do share some common elements. It's not that the show is directly referencing this game.
Here's What Space Actually Looks Like to the Human Eye
Photos of space are everywhere online. Their beauty is dazzling, showing a universe awash in color and light. But if you're a skeptic, you've likely wondered whether it all truly looks like that in real life. Michael Benson tries his best to show you in his exhibition Otherworlds: Visions of Our Solar System. The artist took data from NASA and ESA missions to make 77 images of everything from Pluto to Europa that approximate true color as much as humanly possible. The work spans five decades of space exploration, and presents a realistic, flyby tour of the universe.
