Welcome to the Luminarium, a sanctuary for contemplating light in all its forms — from the photons that traveled 8 minutes from our sun to illuminate this moment, to the candle flames that have companioned humanity through countless dark nights.
Today is Day 146 of the year. Light continues its eternal journey at 299,792,458 meters per second.
