An illustration of a newly detected black-hole merger, whose gravitational-wave signal suggests that at least one of the black holes was misaligned with its orbital motion before merging with its partner.

Fighting the urge to take my physics degree to become a private military contractor for 300k then intentionally fucking up all my work

I like the fact that the two most well-known uses for lithium are treating people who are bipolar, and making batteries, which are also bipolar but in a completely different way.

2024-2025

time to set my goals (late) for the next semester of school:

dedicate more time my research project :)

achieve a high gpa (especially in my physics, mandarin, and literature classes)

receive a score of 1400+ on my first sat in december!

submit essays to journals and writing competitions

apply to a few different summer courses!

find more time to journal and reflect

i know these are pretty intense goals but i know i can achieve them :) i am also moving houses soon so i really hope this year i can learn how to prioritise and stay on top of things more!

i love pictures of the international space station which are just completely overexposed because that is just.. unequivocally an angel.

so international space station astronauts apparently dropped a tool bag during a spacewalk. and if you look outside when the ISS is in your region, you can see it with binoculars

The tool bag is now orbiting our planet just ahead of the ISS with a visual magnitude of around 6, according to EarthSky. That means it is slightly less bright than the ice giant Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun. As a result, the bag  —  officially known as a crew lock bag  —  is slightly too dim to be visible to the unaided eye, but skywatchers should be able to pick it up with binoculars.  To see it for yourself, first find out when you can find spot the space station over the next few months (NASA even has a new app to help you). The bag should be floating two to four minutes ahead of the station. As it descends rapidly, the bag is likely to disintegrate when it reaches an altitude of around 70 miles (113 kilometers) over Earth. 

she's fucking magnificent
