study diary —

I somehow managed to get everything done that was on my agenda, including my backlog of tasks from yesterday. It feels superb, and I honestly have no idea how I did it.

Calc 3 has been really enjoyable. I love matrices, so these last few sections have been a blast for me. I’ve also started using pen and paper again. Surprisingly, I like it way better.

I am very, very ready for this semester to be over. I’m also very, very ready to see some Spring blooms.

Some Astronomy Vocabulary

for your next poem/story

Aphelion - For an object orbiting the sun, the point (distance and time) where/when the object is furthest from the sun in its elliptical orbit.

Celestial sphere - An imaginary sphere of great (or infinite) radius that is centered on the earth and is used for practical purposes in astronomical observing.

Dark matter - A proposed form of matter that has mass, but is completely transparent and does not emit light.

Ecliptic - The apparent path of the sun against the sky background (celestial sphere); formally, the mean plane of the earth's orbit about the sun.

Light pollution - The emission of stray light or glare from lighting fixtures in manners that counter the purpose of the light (which is to light what is below); also known as the waste of money and energy in the form of electric light, usually meant in the form of outdoor night lighting.

Luminosity - The energy output per second from some emitting body such as a star.

Occultation - When one object entirely hides another behind it. When viewed from Earth, the Moon frequently passes in front of stars. These stars are said to be occulted by the Moon.

Oort Cloud - A hypothetical region of the outer Solar System that is thought to be the origin of comets with long orbital periods. The Oort Cloud likely contains many billions of small icy bodies left over from the formation of the Solar System.

Penumbra - (Latin for "almost shadow") the outer, less dark, part of the shadow cast onto a body during an eclipse, in which the light is only partially blocked; the distinct outer and brighter part of a sunspot.

Perigee - The point where (and when) an object's orbit about the earth in which it is closest to the earth; only applicable to objects orbiting the earth (not to objects orbiting the sun).

Perihelion - The point where (and when) an object orbiting the sun is closest to the sun.

Perturbations - Gravitational influences ("tugging" and "pulling") of one astronomical body on another.

Solar wind - (also called Stellar wind) A stream of particles, primarily protons and electrons, flowing outwards from the Sun at up to 900 kilometers per second. It is essentially the hot solar corona expanding into interplanetary space.

Umbra - Latin for "shadow". In the context of eclipses, the umbra is that region of space where an observer sees the one body block the other's light completely.

Zenith - The point directly overhead in the sky.

study diary —

A late post to reflect on yesterday. I didn’t get much done.

I went to the doctor in the morning and spent most of the day trying to track down a pharmacy with my medication in stock. Most are still out of it.

I finally found one, and my doctor sent my prescription to them. They filled it, and I made it to their pick-up line exactly 6 minutes before they closed.

By the time I got home it was 20:30, and I was both mentally and emotionally exhausted from the chaos and uncertainty of tracking down something essential for my well-being.

I chose to prioritize my mental health, and spent the evening reading in bed with my cats. I don’t feel guilty for this decision, nor do I regret it, but I do have a lot to do today.

all day today I was doing an assignment on astronomical exercises where I had to make a star map of any object. I made a map of the open star cluster Beehive M44

I'm very tired, but I like the result and I want to print this and hang it above my desk

Hello! I really like your moodboards and wanted to know if you could one of a nerdy boy with an obsession with cryptids and astronomy? Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope you have a good rest of your day!
