The Past Couple Months I've Really Been Faced With The Question Of "why Do You Study Astrophysics" And.

protons……….. neutrons…………… croutons………

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Accretion Disk Binary System - December 26th, 1995.

"Our Sun is unusual in that it is alone - most stars occur in multiple or binary systems. In a binary system, the higher mass star will evolve faster and will eventually become a compact object - either a white dwarf star, a neutron star, or black hole. When the lower mass star later evolves into an expansion phase, it may be so close to the compact star that its outer atmosphere actually falls onto it. Such is the case diagrammed above. Here gas from a blue giant star is shown being stripped away into an accretion disk around its compact binary companion. Gas in the accretion disk swirls around, heats up, and eventually falls onto the compact star. Extreme conditions frequently occur on the surface of the compact star as gas falls in, many times causing detectable X-rays, gamma-rays, or even cataclysmic novae explosions. Studying the extreme conditions in these systems tells us about the inner properties of ordinary matter around us."

learning about physics is crazy bc you start with "gravity makes you fall down" which becomes "gravity is a change in the shape of spacetime" and eventually arrive at "gravity might be fake actually"

i.d : ai momori

so i was looking up the System Source Computer Musuem and apparently they have a VIRTUAL TOUR !!! and when I say I spent a good deal of time freaking out and sending screenshots of this thing to my friends . my goodness
