I like old maps. How about you?
Wednesday? Map Day! A while back we shared the all the portions of this enormous 1867 map except for the southeast quadrant. So here you go!
We can only provide this massive beast in quarters because the digital map in its entirety is far too large to upload. That being said, you can find the whole thing right here.
Reblog the strawberry kitty for good luck!🍓🐱

Happy International Women’s Day to all ladies with ADHD, diagnosed or otherwise. Y’all are incredibly valid.
Boys get diagnosed with ADHD 3 times more than girls despite having ADHD at the SAME RATE.
It’s why we have to spread awareness that girls can have ADHD and that they are not alone.
Galaxy NGC 474: Shells and Star Streams

What’s happening to galaxy NGC 474? The multiple layers of emission appear strangely complex and unexpected given the relatively featureless appearance of the elliptical galaxy in less deep images. The cause of the shells is currently unknown, but possibly tidal tails related to debris left over from absorbing numerous small galaxies in the past billion years. Alternatively the shells may be like ripples in a pond, where the ongoing collision with the spiral galaxy just above NGC 474 is causing density waves to ripple through the galactic giant. Regardless of the actual cause, the featured image dramatically highlights the increasing consensus that at least some elliptical galaxies have formed in the recent past, and that the outer halos of most large galaxies are not really smooth but have complexities induced by frequent interactions with – and accretions of – smaller nearby galaxies. The halo of our own Milky Way Galaxy is one example of such unexpected complexity. NGC 474 spans about 250,000 light years and lies about 100 million light years distant toward the constellation of the Fish (Pisces).
