This Scene, Known As Lynds 483, Will Continue To Change Over Millions Of Years. Today, We Have The Clearest

At the center is a thin vertical cloud known as Lynds 483 that is shaped like an hourglass with two lobes and irregular edges. At lower center, in the middle of the hourglass, are two discrete bright white, tiny blobs of light that have raced away from the hidden central stars. The top lobe shows a more prominent orange U-shape. Orange bleeds into light purple, and brighter pink at its edges. Some background stars are visible through sections of this lobe. Higher up, there is an orange arc. Some brighter pink material extends to the top edges near the center. In the lower lobe, less orange is visible. More opaque light purple is in its top third, rippling out into semi-transparent blues and pinks. The lower lobe has more texture. V-shaped areas to the left and right of the lobes are darkest, and the background stars in these areas appear orange. Elsewhere, the black background of space is clearer, speckled with tiny white stars and faint orange galaxies.

This scene, known as Lynds 483, will continue to change over millions of years. Today, we have the clearest view of it yet, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope.

Two forming stars that fit into one pixel, hidden in a tiny, opaque disk of dust at the center, are responsible for sending out the jets and outflows that are represented in vibrant pink, purple, and blue hues.

Webb also shows us dust in unexpected places. Look along the edges of the semi-transparent cones. Distant stars look orange here, not white. This is because there’s additional dust around Lynds 483. Where the view is free of obscuring dust, stars shine brightly in white and blue.

Millions of years from now, when the stars are finished forming, they may each be about the mass of our sun. Their outflows will have cleared the area—sweeping away these semi-transparent ejections. All that may remain is a tiny disk of gas and dust where planets may eventually form.

My epic comeback to socials with Melanie projecting her period cramps onto Elias cause deserved

A digital artwork of Melanie King and Elias Bouchard in poses from an art trend “projecting my period cramps onto ___”. Elias is clearly in pain, his glasses are cracked in front of him on the floor and there are three Eyes around his head which are absolutely enjoying his suffering. In top left corner there is a “day 2 no hating” meme with poorly drawn Melanie’s hair on the person from the meme

hehe look at that loser

There’s something so tragic about Cersei hating Robert (rightfully so) but becoming him all the same.

She hates ruling but loves the power it gives her over others. She drinks heavily. Abuses those around her. She fantasizes about a life with Rhaegar a man she never knew and never loved in the same way that Robert obsessed over Lyanna. She becomes someone that even Tommen (her son whom she loves dearly) fears. It mirrors the ways in which Robert abused Joffrey, but she hurts Tommen emotionally as opposed to physically.

All her life she wanted to be Jaime but instead she becomes the man she despised.

There is like one definition of bisexuality I've heard that I think is pretty much perfect: attraction to genders like your own and genders unlike your own. No need for overly complex definitions with stupid qualifiers that are simultaneously narrow and describe something that doesn't really matter in practice or doesn't work like that. No need for splitting it into 20 other microlabels. A very concise, elegant and practical definition.
