Eye of God - Helix Nebula

The Helix Nebula, also known as NGC 7293, is one of the closest planetary nebulae to Earth, located approximately 650 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius.

It is often referred to as the "Eye of God" due to its appearance in images, which resembles a large eye.

they removed posting from tumblr. now there's only scrolling down through the vast blank expanse. great

Here’s something to think about as you kick off 2025: We are all stardust. Every atom of oxygen in our lungs, of carbon in our muscles, of calcium in our bones, of iron in our blood—was created inside a star before Earth was born. Hydrogen and helium, the lightest elements, were produced in the Big Bang. Almost all of the other, heavier, elements were produced inside stars. Stars forge heavy elements by fusion in their cores. In a star of intermediate mass, these elements can mix into the star’s atmosphere and be spread into space through stellar winds.

vast avatar who works at the UKSA and has made crazy discoveries about space that realistically Shouldn't be possible with current technology

Maybe a worker occasionally disappears for a little while and comes back Absolutely Terrified For Their Life and for some reason everyones pretty sure it's the avatar's fault but they've made the craziest discoveries and it'd be a huge loss to fire them so nobody says anything

In this video, take a flight through millions of galaxies mapped using coordinate data from DESI.
