NGC 1316 taken by Hubble Space Telescope on January 26 2021
NGC 1316 is an elliptical galaxy formed by the collisions of multiple galaxies near the constellation Forax in the southern hemisphere. What makes this galaxy unique is the dark lanes of dust visible around the galaxy. These are indicative that they galaxies NGC 1316 was formed by were spiral galaxies.
What helped scientists determine that this galaxy was created due to a "recent" collision where different types of images taken of NGC 1316. Hubble's images helped to reveal huge collisional shells and a small number of globular clusters. Collisional shells are formed from debris of the parent galaxy, which under the effects of gravity and tidal forces. These tails last for a long time, before eventually being reabsorbed into the progenitor (object of origin). Globular clusters are a group of stars bound by gravity.
These two events were indicative of a merger that occurred within the past couple billion years.
today is a study day (fortunately or regrettably depending on your perspective). this problem set is really cool and i actually like learning about circuits, which i didn’t expect.
- circuits problem set (88 mins)
- circuits quiz (39 mins)
- advanced circuits lecture
i’m REALLY behind in my course and i need to catch up by the time school starts again so i probably have another 4 hrs of work minimum. it’s finally feeling like crunch time lol
i was just looking around the rate my professor for caltech… just for fun…
bro why does this fictional character have more ratings than any real faculty 😭 like most of them just have 1 or 2
should i give in to the hype and watch big bang theory???? 🤨
Messy notes are so nice to make! The diagrams just hit different. Reading back through it is a pain though.
I love aesthetic notes but its not realistic for a lot of people. If it is for you, that is amazing! But this is an appreciation post for messy/near-unreadable notes, notes that still work as notes and help you get good marks but don't look pretty "like they should"
(These are my revision notes for C7 Chemistry)

.. > 12dopmas challenge, Day 2
I made notes for one of my last year's math units (im repeating the exam) and I started making notes for this year's work

Did 2 pistol squats on each leg (seems very little but they're actually very difficult! or are for me anyway)
I finished a digital drawing I started a while back. I think it's just alright, no strong feelings about it but im glad I got it done
I forgot about the questions again but I will catch up on them!

Rosette Nebula taken by Suzanne Beers on January 29 2024
The Rosette Nebula is part of the Milky Way Galaxy and is located 5,000 light years away from Earth. The Rosette Nebula is an emission nebula (not to be confused with planetary nebula).
These kinds of nebula are formed around massive, hot stars, whose ultraviolet radiation ionizes the surrounding gas. The excited atoms in the nebula also emit radiation, causing the nebula's glow.
The Rosette Nebula is also home to star forming regions, as observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These are especially concentrated in the bottom of the nebula, although it is difficult to see in this image. Note that this photo uses the Hubble color palette.

Physics (Anything).
Yeah, only physics. 🐧
☕ 27.01.2025 // I completed my to do list and had a latte with a friend (Yes, we both took a latte ahah) 🩷

sometimes i feel like school sucks everything out of me. i have all this motivation and excitement at the beginning of the week, but then school happens and i have all this useless homework. meanwhile there is stuff i actually want to do and am interested in... but i never have the chance to do them because i'm so tired and i still have homework to do. i feel like i'm sacrificing a bit too much of my self just to please my school and my teachers
on a brighter note, i think i discovered the identity of the unknown acid! i'm super nervous to go back to the lab now though and collaborate with my team. hopefully i'm right :)
