That’s gorgeous!
This picture right here is why I hate light pollution

The Galaxy Above : Have you contemplated your home galaxy lately? If your sky looked like this, perhaps you’d contemplate it more often! The featured picture is actually a composite of two images taken last month from the same location in south Brazil and with the same camera – but a few hours apart. The person in the image – also the astrophotographer – has much to see in the Milky Way Galaxy above. The central band of our home Galaxy stretches diagonally up from the lower left. This band is dotted with spectacular sights including dark nebular filaments, bright blue stars, and red nebulas. Millions of fainter and redder stars fill in the deep Galactic background. To the lower right of the Milky Way are the colorful gas and dust clouds of Rho Ophiuchus, featuring the bright orange star Antares. On this night, just above and to the right of Antares was a bright planet Jupiter. The sky is so old and so familiar that humanity has formulated many stories about it, some of which inspired this very picture. via NASA
Okay I know that I love black holes but buddy why don’t you not come here?
I wonder if falling into a black hole would hurt? If I could choose any way to go out, it’d probably be by black holes. Might as well be killed by the love of my life.

OJ287 is one of the largest black holes in the known universe. If it were placed at the center of our solar system, its event horizon would swallow nearly everything is our Sun’s sphere of influence. All the planets, the asteroid belt, and (obviously) us. This beast is an estimated 18 billion solar masses and drifts through the cosmos some.

Okay I love the Big Bang Theory (as in the actual scientific theory about the start of our universe) but also the TV show.
(Sheldon was my favorite)
Anyway I didn’t know there was a full version of the theme song and I really like it :)

They’re so lonely :(
Wait I guess that means I’m an electron since I’m #foreveralone. I feel like I should be sad about this but electrons are cool so I can’t really be lol.

Poor electrons
My favorite YouTube video as of now (I know this doesn’t seem like it’s related to space - but it has a nice discussion about black holes and hawking radiation, which is I love it so much)
Remember kids: be cautious of bouncy castles!

Let’s keep asking questions…
How do I constantly forget how beautiful the universe is?
Also, this is true, Jewels DEFINITELY aren’t as bright as stars!

A Stellar Jewel Box: Open Cluster NGC 290 : Jewels don’t shine this bright – only stars do. Like gems in a jewel box, though, the stars of open cluster NGC 290 glitter in a beautiful display of brightness and color. The photogenic cluster, pictured here, was captured in 2006 by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. Open clusters of stars are younger, contain few stars, and contain a much higher fraction of blue stars than do globular clusters of stars. NGC 290 lies about 200,000 light-years distant in a neighboring galaxy called the Small Cloud of Magellan (SMC). The open cluster contains hundreds of stars and spans about 65 light years across. NGC 290 and other open clusters are good laboratories for studying how stars of different masses evolve, since all the open cluster’s stars were born at about the same time. via NASA
Just so you guys know, the Galilean Moons aren’t Jupiter’s only moons. It has 79 confirmed moons.
Hey, at least they’re not all lonely.
Also, fun-fact, the Moon Europa is a big candidate for a “2nd Earth,” having an ocean under a shell of ice.

Over the span of a few hours, I collected images of Jupiter and its Galilean Moons. I labelled each one and you can see them move in their orbits! 🪐🪐🪐
Taken by me (Michelle Park) using the Slooh Canary Two telescope on June 3rd, 2020.
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’m taking AP Calc next year and even though I have an A in Pre Calc I’m really nervous so I’m like frantically summer studying xD
I dunno my teacher seems to think I’ll do fine but everyone makes it sound really intimidating and I’m a worry freak, but I love math so I’m hoping I’ll enjoy it.

I love Schrodinger’s Cat memes
I might write something on quantum mechanics in the future, so I’ll probably dedicate an entire chapter to this cat. Maybe with a week’s worth of SC memes? Who knows!

Erwin doesn’t like that.
