Rho Ophiuchi and Antares

A colorful orb decorates the region surrounding the bright triple star Rho Ophiuchus. Probably no other region provides such an impressive spectacle of colorful glowing gases juxtaposed with converging dark rivers of thick dust. The area is highlighted by the bright star Antares, a red supergiant 40,000 times more luminous than our sun. The star is immense. With a diameter of 800 million kilometers it is so large that it is one of the few stars with a measurable disk. If placed at the sun its edge would stretch almost to the planet Jupiter. Antares lies embedded in an unusual circumstellar yellow cloud formed by the ionization of the fierce stellar winds blown by the dying star. Antares has a B type companion star only 3 arcseconds away which orbits the larger star every 900 years.

I believe in making it work as long as there’s a connection.

I didn't want to let you go. My heart is still tied to you, refusing to let you walk out the door. Even if I didn't see you in person, you were more real to me without being there physically. We would talk about seeing each other. How we would react to that first hug. You said would probably cry, and I said that maybe I would have fainted. You were all I wanted and more. Even if no one was there, you were on my phone keeping me company. I wasn't perfect, you weren't perfect either and I don't think we ever will be. I'll never forget that night you called me. You called me in the middle of the night. Your voice felt desperate. You told me that you had a nightmare. You didn't want to tell me what it was..but you said that you loved me so much. I wanted to cry because every "I love you" felt like a hug to my soul. And now you're gone..leaving this hole in my heart. Who will say good morning to me? Who will wake you up with a message? Who am I going to dream with? You left my life three years ago..and then appeared again. I thought it meant something..something special. I still want to believe it is.

people often look surprised if i tell them i am in love with someone who lives on the other side of the world and ask me to explain how that is possible. have you ever heard stories of people who told you about the places they visited and fell in love with the idea of being there? a beautiful lake surrounded by a billion trees while the sun is shining bright, people are laughing, making love, playing badminton, skinny dipping, having a barbecue. just like you fell in love with a place you have never been, i fell in love with a person i have never met; because the idea of the feeling i will have when i hold him, kiss him, hug him, laugh with him, is just like the feeling you have when you think about the place you wish you could be.

I love you 04.16.15 (via murderedflowers)
