A scientist announced a "cosmic discovery"[2] by writing a Doctor Who fan fiction called "Doctor Who and the Silver Spiral". Art used to share discovery. I love that idea. I'd read it back in January, but I came across the link again. It features 10 and Martha Jones' witnessing the explosion of a star. In one section, the Doctor says we're all made from what was created in a star. We're all made of stardust. Reality can be brilliant and poetic.
