Before Pepto, there was antimony. 💊

Once upon a time, people swallowed small metal pills to soothe an upset stomach. The pill did its job, came out the other end, and got used again. And again. By the whole family. Some were even passed down from generation to generation. 😳

So the next time you inherit something you’re not sure what to do with, be thankful it’s not that.

Get a taste of the spooky side of science, then join us for Tricks, Treats & T. rex: Magical Maze Festival at HMNS at Sugar Land! Bring the family for games, crafts, trick-or-treating, character photo-ops, face painting, and a costume contest. 🎃🦖

Drayton’s idea of a “fun fact” is a little morbid. 💀🧪

🍂Fall Equinox! 🌞=🌑

Despite the weather we feel outside, the start of the fall season begins today in the northern hemisphere.

Today the sun crosses directly over Earth's equator, meaning day and night are roughly equal in length all over the world. But the magic doesn’t stop there. After today, the sun will dip lower in the sky, and the days will grow shorter while the nights stretch longer.

The cozy season is officially underway!
