Today I learned that the universe is slightly beige. That’s right - if you add up the color of all the light in the universe, you end up with a slight off-white tint (it was originally thought to be greenish white, but the universe is a sort of beige, it turns out).

I wish I could take credit for the latte simile in the title of this post, but Cosmic Latte does seem to be the official name of the universe’s color. Other possible names include Big Bang Beige and Cappuccino Cosmico. Ils sont fous ces astronomes.

Now do I still need to defend my preference for non-fiction literature?
