Caldwell 52 By NASA Hubble

I find it ironic that Earth sounds like an alien spaceship. I wonder how much of that sound is just the wind and atmosphere, or if perhaps it’s possible we can hear humanity as well.

We are in a way made from stardust, so yes, we are the cosmos.

Here are some lovely pictures I took a while ago of the night sky. It’s the best I can do with an old iPhone and shaky hands, but I think they look nice.

I hope you enjoy them! The starry sky always brings joy to my life, even when things are rough. They remind me not to worry about everything all of the time, and just enjoy the darkness. And thank you to all of my current followers, for being here despite my chronic disappearance from this mortal plane. I promise I’ll try to stay grounded more often. 🪐🔭

This song is everything I want in an auditory experience. Poetic, calming yet energetic, and full of astronomical metaphors that really get me excited. No matter what my state of being may be, this song always keeps me going. The entire album has a similar effect, but it’s this song specifically that has just the right vibes for someone who’s lost in the void 🪐🔭

Yeah baby!!! Go crazy!!!

For those who don’t know, recently a bunch of phosphine gas was detected in the atmosphere of Venus. What makes this such a big deal is that phosphine is an organic gas. Of course, certain phenomena like lightning or geological processes could make it, but this is a very rare and difficult thing to do. Now, it may be too soon to tell, but this could mean there’s at the very least some sort of microbial life! We’ve spent so much time looking at Mars and its ancient watery history, that we never even considered Venus as a possible environment for extraterrestrial life. This discovery, should it be validated, would completely alter our way of thinking how life looks, even more so than possible life on Mars.

Just a cool thing I wanted to share. 2020 may be an... interesting year, but maybe, just maybe, there could be silver lining to all this chaos.

My brother! I sing for you, for your song shall be heard.

I sing for the billions of years you have sung, and sing for billions more.

May you sing for all the stars and planets who bow to you, and sing for all the light and dark that fear you. Sing, and may the universe be better because of it.
