Galactic Tides - The Whirlpool Galaxy And Its Companion 

Astrophysicists were able to determine that the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) and its small companion galaxy (NGC 5195) are tidally entwined by analyzing the light emitted from Supernova within M51. These Supernova have provided important clues about the structure and composition of these galaxies.

Here’s a longer version of the Korrasami proposal, in audio form.

This one actually features Korra (Janet) shooing away Mako (David) in a scene that makes you recall the ‘Excuse me, Tenzin’ line from the final episode.

Oh, and as an aside, someone later asked the Korra cast what they think would happen to their characters in the future. And Seychelle Gabriel’s response was that Korra and Asami would eventually get married.

The meaning of this video hit me today. Notice how Regina showers Emma and Henry in a spray of butterflies. If you’re familiar with the symbolism of the butterfly,  oh my god.

Yes we ask know is stands for change but it’s deeper than that. In addition to change,  which we know regina did for Henry AND Emma according to this video, butterflies represent:  belief, the bond between souls, choice in destiny and undying love.

1) Magic The butterfly has a special meaning in magic. It’s the power of believing. It’s very obvious this is Henry, with the heart of the truest believer. It also could be related to Emma being the first to believe that Regina was trying to change.

2) Spiritual This was so beatiful. Butterflies spiritually mean the choice to change. To choose our own path rather than what’s laid out for us. Choose our destiny.

Anyone remember S4, where Regina told Emma that they were going to beat fate? Remember Adam and Eddy saying there is one who is right for you, wrong for you and then the one you “choose”?

3). Soul I’m just going to paste it here.

“ Interestingly, in many cultures the butterfly is associated with the soul - further linking our animal symbolism of faith with the butterfly.

In Greek myth, Psyche (which literally translates to mean “soul”) is represented in the form of a butterfly. Befittingly, Psyche is forever linked with love as she and Eros (the Greek god of love, also known in Roman myth as Cupid) shared an endlessly passionate bond”

Yeah. Eros was true love embodied. Who on this show is the physical manifestation of romantic love, if not the child of true love herself.

Who would regina hedge a deep bond with, other than the woman who she constantly shares magic with, the woman who told her “they don’t understand me like you do…. it makes us unique and special”

4) Love The Chinese animal symbol Butterfly represents love. Chinese legend has it that the Butterfly symbolizes an undying bond between lovers.

I’m gonna go on a limb here and say they don’t mean Henry for that bond.
