Here at Future-ish, we love astronomy and we love cocktails. So to prep our fans (and ourselves) for those stellar weekend cocktail conversations, we are pleased to offer a Cocktail Astronomy post on Fridays.
What's better than the new black in Paris? The newest world in our solar system. Astronomers have recently found evidence to support the existence of a new dwarf planet at the edge of our solar system, 2023 KQ14, nicknamed "Ammonite". One of several such objects recently discovered, Ammonite has a long and eliptical orbit around the sun and is believed to be very icey. Cheers to new dwarf planets, darling!
Cocktail pairing: we looked for something blue, icey, and out of this world. What could pair better than the Jack Frost from Delish? Cheers to new dwarf planets, darling!
