Quarantine Is So Boring.
Quarantine is so boring.
Not that I have any friends to hang out, anyway.

My brother! I sing for you, for your song shall be heard.
I sing for the billions of years you have sung, and sing for billions more.
May you sing for all the stars and planets who bow to you, and sing for all the light and dark that fear you. Sing, and may the universe be better because of it.
poetry from ny times
Am I like the moon
The light I shine illuminates the meadow, tinted blue
The wind sweeps your hair briskly
You look up, at this celestial thing
Pockmarked with time, the scars of past troubles
And think to yourself, inside yourself, where I cannot see
Do you wonder at my light, keeping you out of the dark and away from the trees?
Or do you realize that this light is not my own, but borrowed
From my fiery brother, who sleeps under the horizon
And that I merely reflect, imitate
His brighter, lighter warmth and touch
I cannot warm you, as you shiver in the cold
I cannot show off every contour of your face
I cannot reveal the hues of the flowers you hold, in the blue tinted meadow
I worry that this is what you think
With those deep eyes, as wide as the starry sky
I worry that I am not enough
Cannot be enough
Compared to the others around me
Perhaps I am wrong; you may not see that at all
But as long as I think of this, and think of you
No matter how much I may love you
I am as far away, and hard to reach
As the moon
Sometimes I like screaming into the void. I don’t usually get to let my emotions out very often, so it’s nice sometimes to know there’s a dispassionate universe that doesn’t care if I yell into it. I wouldn’t call myself depressed, (in fact I’m generally very optimistic about things) but I can be prone to bouts of sadness just like anyone else. I’ll be better eventually, but until then...
It’s nice to be be lost in the void. ✨🌑✨
I agree! Considering solar radiation, hiding inside of lava tubes is probably the best place to put colonies/bases.

underground planetary bases would be really cool!
Greetings and salutations, my most esteemed human followers! I have not posted anything in a while, although I have reposted some beautiful poetry and space pictures I enjoyed a lot, so be sure to check those out.
But I have returned to bring forth something I’m very proud of! I’ve been trying to get into astrophotography, and thanks to a college course and the help of my professor, I’ve managed to acquire a half decent photo!
This is Messier 33, otherwise known as the Triangulum Galaxy. It’s not the fanciest photo in the world, and there are some on this site that blow it out of the water, but I made this myself, so I’m proud.
Astrophotography is a slow business, and I have incredibly high standards for myself, but hopefully I’ll post some more in the future. I just wanted to share with you all what I did. Thank you, from someone lost in the void 🪐 🔭
I'm going to send the question back at you now. What is your favorite thing about space?
Like you said, I really really like all the variety and vastness of space. I’m mostly in awe at the immense scale the universe works at, from galaxies to superclusters to filaments. It really makes everything going on down on planet Earth so insignificant (but like in a good way? If that makes sense? I’m not trying to be nihilistic, it just puts things in perspective). As you may be able to tell from my name, I’m also fascinated by the idea of space itself. Like, everyone thinks it's just an empty void between star systems, but there’s just so much going on we can’t see! Dark matter, dark energy, fluctuations in the spacetime continuum, and so much we haven’t even imagined yet!
It’s just so easy to get, well, lost in...
