I was researching nebulae for my next article and I wanted to share some images for you guys :)
Nebula are some of the most beautiful things in space. We mostly focused on galaxies and the stars within them, but we forget that in-between galaxies exists the interstellar medium. This is where the nebulae live.
Hope you enjoyed!

I'm watching the launch now, half an hour to go!
This is the first NASA astronaut launch since 2011. I wanted to go to Cape Canaveral to watch but instead I'm watching from afar :)
(Edit: they’ve put off the launch till Saturday due to weather)

... why.
There are no aliens - so the only thing we could use this as is like a nuke - but that would destroy the entire Earth xD

Dark matter is one of my favorite mysteries in Astrophysics, oh I would just love to study it. Some are using particle accelerators to try to study DM and figure out what it is - and it’s so so exciting!!!

Wow, Mars is one of the closest planets to us xD
Just shows you how massive space really is
(Maybe even infinitely so)

Let’s keep asking questions…
Can I go to Lake Thetis? Damn.
Florida’s got nothing on this place, I’m sorry.

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.

i hope i translated it correctly
So I’m a little over halfway done (I should be ready for some editing on Saturday) with this chapter and I think this might be my one longest yet! My current longest is Chapter 6, with 1,245 words. I’m currently at around 700 words with this one, and I’ve got at least 400 more to go. Anyway, I’m really excited for this one. We’ll be touching on nebulae again, and finally addressing our first ending for a star.
We’ve only got three more chapters left, plus a possible one for additional topics. I’ll be sad to end this one, but I’m starting to gather ideas for the next book. Maybe on the methods of observing the universe? Maybe on random astrophysics topics? Perhaps one on galaxies? Cosmology? The Four Fundamental Forces? Haven’t decided yet xD
I think you’ll all really like these last chapters I have planned, or at least I hope you do. Thanks for reading :)
