Turns out I’ve been on this website for two years now. How exciting! And even better now that it’s happening right as we’re getting our first images from the James Webb Space Telescope. Looking from Earth, this image is from a point in space smaller than a grain of sand. And look how many beautiful galaxies and stars are in this incredible photo. I look forward to many more incredible pictures, and more discoveries about the wondrous void 🪐 🔭

Beautiful. Absolutely stunning.
We just gotta be patient...

Thank you science side of tumblr
The problem with nuclear power plants is that you would want the workers to observe the processes carefully to avoid disaster, however nuclear power plants generate energy by boiling water, so the plant technicians can’t watch what’s happening or the water won’t boil due to the Watchpot Phenomenon. Thankfully scientists have overcome this hurdle in recent decades by squinting so the water thinks their eyes are closed and that it isn’t being watched
I highly recommend checking out this video by Like Stories of Old on YouTube. He goes into lots of detail about the concept of anti-war films and how war is portrayed in media. I personally find it really fascinating.

Pretty impressive that America has been at war for 20 fucking years and yet there have been essentially no anti-war films out of supposedly liberal Hollywood because it’s effectively impossible to make war movies without the consent of the US Military who only want to be depicted with jingoistic favourability.
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. ✨🌑✨
The inevitability of death and my inescapable mortality, as well as the infinite vastness of the universe and my consequent insignificance.
Also spending too much time on Tumblr.
What keeps you awake at night?
I am so so so looking forward to the day where humanity as a species can experience these spaceships in person, or something similar in design. Spaceships are so so so cool.

@seagremlin Omg thank you so much for tagging me 🥺
These pictures are the reason why I’m in love with space. We’re getting to see the planets of the solar system in a totally new and exciting way, and I can’t wait to see what other amazing discoveries come from this!! 🛰 🪐
how is everyone not wailing and shouting in the streets everytime a new james webb telescope image comes out how are people not immediately rent asunder by the terrifying beauty of space with every new release
