I Kinda Wanna Print This And Put It On My Wall

True.

Iron actually takes more energy to fuse than it releases, so the inward pressure needed to keep the star from collapsing isn’t enough when it’s mainly fusing iron, and then it collapses.

For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth.

Everything that is created comes from destruction, that’d just how our universe works.

How do I constantly forget how beautiful the universe is?

Also, this is true, Jewels DEFINITELY aren’t as bright as stars!

A Stellar Jewel Box: Open Cluster NGC 290 : Jewels don’t shine this bright – only stars do. Like gems in a jewel box, though, the stars of open cluster NGC 290 glitter in a beautiful display of brightness and color. The photogenic cluster, pictured here, was captured in 2006 by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. Open clusters of stars are younger, contain few stars, and contain a much higher fraction of blue stars than do globular clusters of stars. NGC 290 lies about 200,000 light-years distant in a neighboring galaxy called the Small Cloud of Magellan (SMC). The open cluster contains hundreds of stars and spans about 65 light years across. NGC 290 and other open clusters are good laboratories for studying how stars of different masses evolve, since all the open cluster’s stars were born at about the same time. via NASA

Looks like I’m getting a new wallpaper

It’s so beautiful ;(

I mean, that is true. Atoms would really like communism (aside from Noble gases, of course).

Fluorine be like SHARING IS CARING

Hydrogen bond vibes

Escape velocity!!!!!!!

I.e. the velocity that an object must attain before being able to resist an object’s gravitational pull and escape it’s influence.

Please get this.

Aw, now that’s a smart kitty

Also - what’s the meaning of life and death - good question. Cat please explain lol

Upvote me so that I can post on r/science too.

Wow, that’s gorgeous :o

That’s gotta be one of the most beautiful nebulae I’ve laid eyes on! And, it looks like a heart too!

IC 1805: The Heart Nebula : What energizes the Heart Nebula? First, the large emission nebula dubbed IC 1805 looks, in whole, like a human heart. The nebula glows brightly in red light emitted by its most prominent element: hydrogen. The red glow and the larger shape are all powered by a small group of stars near the nebula’s center. In the center of the Heart Nebula are young stars from the open star cluster Melotte 15 that are eroding away several picturesque dust pillars with their energetic light and winds. The open cluster of stars contains a few bright stars nearly 50 times the mass of our Sun, many dim stars only a fraction of the mass of our Sun, and an absent microquasar that was expelled millions of years ago. The Heart Nebula is located about 7,500 light years away toward the constellation of Cassiopeia. Coincidentally, a small meteor was captured in the foreground during imaging and is visible above the dust pillars. At the top right is the companion Fishhead Nebula. via NASA

Lookin’ Good!

I’ve been wanting to be an Astronaut for Halloween but sadly I live in Florida and the heat might suffocate me in a full suit! Perhaps a nice NASA shirt and hat and maybe a fake ID badge and I can go as a scientist :D
