not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

Anyone else want to smash their face into this “pillow”? Just us … ok! 😅
Researchers propose that this planetary nebula was created by two stars that sloughed off material over thousands of years in fits and starts. As the pair closely orbited one another, they may have entered a phase of more violent and highly directed mass ejections.
The Hubble Space Telescope first looked at this planetary nebula in 1998. By comparing the old and new Hubble observations, we can literally see how it changed over time.
What’s special about this image is that the Hubble’s unique ultraviolet capabilities helped reveal how much dust obscures the nebula’s central star, as well as the star’s temperature and age.

ALT TEXT: A nebula with a pink elliptical shell is surrounded by concentric of blue gas, all set on a black star-filled background. A small bright star is in the middle of the nebula. On top of the pink shell are a series of wide, blue, linear structures. Two of them cross, forming a boxy, wide X shape. A third cuts vertically through the center of the X. Superimposed on all of these structures are vein-like filaments of dark red gas, including a thicker red equatorial belt.

talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip
flip the rock to see what’s under it!
(make sure you put it back after, don’t want to disturb the wildlife.)
what kind of music do you guys like to listen to when you’re doing physics or mathematics homework? i need recommendations :)

if you're interested in astronomy/cosmology but aren't really math savvy i really recommend this review on the history of the dark matter problem. it's really accessible for the most part, and you will be able to understand why physicists will say with a straight face that only about 5% of the universe is detectable
one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
