I have gone one further and made a decent scale cosine curve for this purpose

Life is like that sometimes.

When people cancel at the last minute, it throws everything into chaos. You don't know what to do for the time being.

When they try to schedule a later date, it interferes with plans you had for that date and potentially any following dates depending on the nature of what was cancelled (i.e, a surgery or a dentist appointment where you get braces could throw things out of wack for quite a while)

All we can do to get through these sorts of experiences is to try and keep going, and maybe, just maybe, it will work out.

This might seem counter intuitive to some people, but if you cancel on me last minute and then offer to have the appointment another time, also last minute, both of those things are about equally stressfull to me.

You just disrupted my plans twice.

Just leave me alone.

Which star is the closest to us ?

I don't mean The Sun or Proxima Centauri, which are the closest stars, I mean in the image above, which star is the closest ?

Of course, I left out the names and the constellations on purpose, because when you look up in the night sky, unless you've got Stellarium (or similar) as an app on your phone, you're not going to see names and the lines which our ancestors made up for story telling.

Maybe it's the brightest one in the middle ? But then, how do you know if that's a massive star far away, or a smaller one really close ?

Thankfully, our orbit around the Sun is going to help us.

Parallax allows us to see which stars are closer and further based on how much they move between 6 months. This works great for the closer stars, but not so much the more distant ones and especially not the other galaxies, however there are other methods for finding which of them are closer, but for now, we're only interested in the closest stars, so simple maths and observations over a period of time can assist us.

Have you ever wondered what our Sun would look like in the night sky of another planet orbiting another star ? Truth is, when you look at those stars in that image above, almost all of them, the answer would be "You couldn't see it, it's not bright enough!"

Truth is, most of the stars we see in our night sky are larger and brighter than ours, at 32.5 light years our Star would be magnitude 4.83, just inside our naked eye ability.

The red square represents the upper image, zoomed out to better reflect what you could see with your naked eye. The tiny dot that the yellow arrow is pointed to, is the same brightness our Sun would be in the night sky of a planet 32.5 light years away.

Why 32.5 ? Well, the brightness of stars in the sky are ranked by Magnitude, the lower the number, the brighter, in fact, each integer is 2.5 times brighter than the one above it. What we see with our eyes we call Apparent Magnitude, but given some fun maths, we can take each star, pull it 10 parsecs (32.5 light years) from us, and imagine how bright it would be, this is known as the Absolute Magnitude.

Getting back to our original question, which was the closest, you'll already begin to understand the brightest stars are not necessarily the closest, using parallax we can really find out, and as some of you may have guessed already, it's the one you couldn't see with your naked eye.

Just 5.96 light years from us, but at apparent Mag 9.51 quite invisible to the naked eye. While the brightest Cebalrai was 81 light years, still close in terms of our Milky Way, but when you next look up, and see a sky full of stars, remember, you're only seeing the bright ones, there's thousands of times more quite close by, you simply cannot see.

can we all agree that handwash onlys are attention seeking? you're using the same dish soap as the rest of us but you need a sponge bath because you're too good for a shower

op some people will die if they're washed with soap at all. unlike certain plastic divas dishes that claim to be "top row only" like that makes a fucking difference.

Be not afraid of what the future will hold.

We do not know exactly as to what the future will bring.

Entropy is a bringer of chaos, and chaos is impossible to predict.

We may be able to guess what events will occur in the near future, but our predictions of the future will become increasingly less accurate, and more vague and large-scale as the go further along the arrow of time.

But let it be known.

A fear of the future, of one's own future, and the future of those they care about, is natural.

Self-preservation is why humans have survived so long, as opposed to just blindly rushing in and doing a task.

For a disregard of one's safety is always foolish.

But we cannot lay dormant forever, no matter how fearful of the future we are. For the future never waits. You cannot stop it.

For this, remember, that if you cannot know what the future will bring, you must cherish every good time and every silver lining. You must find hope in the bad days, and take comfort in the good days.

An old story is as such:

An old king sent out his three wisest philosophers to come up with a saying that fights in both good times and bad, in drought and flood, in exceeding wealth and staggering poverty.

They thought for many days and many nights, and returned with 4 words.

"This, too, shall pass."

This moment, too, shall pass. Cherish it, for you cannot go back.

Look to the future, and chaos, and the unpredictability of the world we live in, not to be scared, but to grow, and to remember to savour the world and every moment we have with it.
