Hi

Hi there! how are you?

Palomar 6: Globular Star Cluster : Where did this big ball of stars come from? Palomar 6 is one of about 200 globular clusters of stars that survive in our Milky Way Galaxy. These spherical star-balls are older than our Sun as well as older than most stars that orbit in our galaxy’s disk. Palomar 6 itself is estimated to be about 12.5 billion years old, so old that it is close to – and so constrains – the age of the entire universe. Containing about 500,000 stars, Palomar 6 lies about 25,000 light years away, but not very far from our galaxy’s center. At that distance, this sharp image from the Hubble Space Telescope spans about 15 light-years. After much study including images from Hubble, a leading origin hypothesis is that Palomar 6 was created – and survives today – in the central bulge of stars that surround the Milky Way’s center, not in the distant galactic halo where most other globular clusters are now found. via NASA

great!

tumblr tuesday: goblins & geologies

Hello to you on this vertically oriented igneous Tuesday. Today, we bring you some of the best rock-related content here on Tumblr. Whether you like your stones small and shiny or huge and hurtling through space, here are some good places to go for your lithic fix. Think of this as a small yet charming troll sharing with you their favorite treasures.

“Giant woman of the woods,” @honeyhemlocked​, lives in a cabin in the woods (yeah, it looks as charming as it sounds). Here’s a selection of some of the stones she’s gathered:

@geologicaltravels​ shares original photos relating to geology, astronomy, meteorology, and biology—from 40 years of traveling the earth!

Zürich-based artist Alexis Desjardins shares (often hauntingly) serene impressions of places in Europe on @docileeffects​, while displaying an impressive rock-to-not-rock ratio:

@thesilicontribesman​ is a multi-media artist and educator working in the northwest of England who shares images of local lithic materials and the stories they tell:

@mineralsandsomerocks​ is kind of a pro when it comes to geological matter, having collected stones of some sort since the very beginning:

A self-confessed fan of “museums of bones and stones,” @twofacedgods​ has formally studied geology and is an aspiring volcanologist, astrobiologist, and space scientist.

I bought a new camera

I bought a new Canon :)
