Word of the Day: Praxis.

NOUN
1. Practice, as distinguished from theory.
2. Accepted practice or custom.

Example Sentences.
1. "Marian achieved results by turning her exercise plan into praxis."
2. "As a doctor, Jeremy put the Hippocratic oath into praxis on a daily basis."
3. "It's praxis for guests to bring a host gift, but my weekend guests went above and beyond with their generosity."

Word Origin.
Greek, late 16th century

"Praxis" comes from the Greek word "prattein," meaning "do." You've likely heard the phrase "actions speak louder than words," and one usage of "praxis" means essentially just that: turning something from a theory into a lived practice. For centuries, philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx, and countless others have written about how citizens and governments could implement their ideas into praxis.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Comet and Annual Meteor Shower Take Place This Weekend

​
Be sure to look to the sky tomorrow night: Two major celestial events are offering exciting views. Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks — dubbed the “Devil Comet” — will reach its brightest state as it makes its way around the sun, an orbit that takes approximately 70 years. Also taking place Sunday is the Lyrid meteor shower, which will peak over the Northern Hemisphere.
​
Nicknamed for horn-shaped outbursts of ice and gas observed on its surface, the Devil Comet will glow against the darkness when it reaches its closest distance to our star, about 144 million miles. Getting a glimpse of the comet will best be achieved with binoculars or a telescope and a clear view of the west-north-western horizon just after sunset, per Newsweek.
​
Originating from the debris trail left behind by the comet Thatcher, the Lyrid meteor shower will peak later Sunday evening and into the early hours on Monday (Earth Day, no less!). Lucky stargazers may get to witness meteors streaking across the sky every few minutes, Mental Floss reports. These shooting stars were named after the constellation Lyra, and have been observed for centuries.
​
To catch the best glimpse of the Lyrids, seek out dark, clear skies away from city lights. Telescopes aren’t necessary, and, of course, those who miss it will have another chance to catch the show next year.
