This Basically Sums It Up.

For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth.

Everything that is created comes from destruction, that’d just how our universe works.

It’s been two years, and I’ll never forget him.

I remember when I was little and I loved space, but I was worried that I would be too bored of the astrophysics area. Then I read Mr. Hawking’s book a Brief History of Time, and I fell in love.

Thanks, Stephie.

The world lost an amazing thinker today. Celebrated world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking passed away in Cambridge on March 14th, 2018 (Pi Day), at age 76. Somehow, I think he would have found this to be very poetic.

Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge.

Wow, Mars is one of the closest planets to us xD

Just shows you how massive space really is

(Maybe even infinitely so)

This is what the Earth looks like from the surface of our red neighbour, Mars!

Happy Earth day everyone 🌎🌍🌏 Hope you’re all staying safe!!

Looks like I’m getting a new wallpaper

It’s so beautiful ;(

Neptune!

Mercury will always be my favorite planet (closest to the Sun, underappreciated, proved Einstein’s general relativity, among other things) but I think Neptune’s the most beautiful. Look at that hue!

neptune.

Omg xD

It’s true though. Do you believe in a flat Earth? Look up at the moon. See that curvature? If the Earth were flat it’d just be a straight line, running across the moon.

what you think? is this post right?

Woah :o

So, basically, like the Mission Space ride at Epcot (that one is my favoriteeeee)?

You could say that they’re very ... NOBLE!

i hope i translated it correctly

I’m re-watching Crash Course: Astronomy for about the 10 x 10^23 time

Want to join me?

It’s one of my favorites :)

So I actually did the calculations and the surface area of Jupiter could probably fit around 11,474,491,000,000 football fields.

Okay so I googled it and the radius of Jupiter is 43,441 miles. However, I’m going to convert that into meters, which’ll make that radius a cool 69,911,513 m. Next up I’ll plug that into the surface area of a sphere formula (A= 4πr^2) which will get us approximately 6.14 x 10^16 m^2 (or roughly 61,400,000,000,000,000 m^2).

Next, I found the area of one football field to be around 5,351 m^2. Dividing the surface area of Jupiter by the surface area of one football field, we can find out how many football fields will fit onto the surface of Jupiter. And that is 1.1474491 x 10^13. Calculating that, that will be 11,474,491,000,000 football fields (11 trillion or so). Oh boy.

For comparison’s sake, the universe is estimated to have AT MOST 2 trillion galaxies! Which means that Jupiter likely could fit more football fields than the universe has galaxies. Another example, there are an estimated billion trillion stars in the observable universe. Jupiter’s football fields account for half of the stars in our observable universe.

I actually tried to find out how many football fields were in the U.S. for comparison but I still can’t find a statistic. 

But also that’s pretty hilarious xD
