“She had studied the universe all her life, but had overlooked its clearest message: For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.” ― Carl Sagan, Contact

"Nature goes to the same place to create a galaxy of stars: a cluster of nebulas, a rain forest, a human body, or a thought. That place is Spirit." - Deepak Chopra

Back in 1996, the Hubble Space Telescope unveiled an astonishing sighta young planetary nebula, about 8,000 light-years away, shaped like an intricate hourglass.

Previously, from Earth, the nebula appeared as large outer rings with a smaller central one, but the finer details were obscured. Thanks to Hubble's powerful lens, we now see a more complex and breathtaking structure, revealing not only its striking hourglass form but also unexpected features.

Planetary nebulae form when Sun-like stars near the end of their lives, collapsing into dense white dwarfs and shedding their outer layers in the process. These layers create stunning clouds of gas and dust, forming what we call planetary nebulae. What's unusual about this nebula is that the central star is slightly off-center, a rare occurrence in such cosmic formations. Additionally, Hubble discovered elliptical rings and elaborate etchings within the hourglass-possible remnants of shells ejected when the star was younger.

This breathtaking image was composed of three different light spectrums: ionized nitrogen (red), hydrogen (green), and doubly ionized oxygen (blue). Together, they form a mesmerizing image of a turquoise blue "eye" staring out from the center of a vivid red-orange hourglass. The nebula's intricate layers and arcs continue to puzzle astronomers, hinting at the untold stories of the universe's stellar life cycles.

Pathfinders to Venus (ABC, 1961)

"What a paradise this place is. The way Earth must have been before man spoiled it with sprawling towns and filthy machines."

"If it hadn't been for man's filthy machines we wouldn't be here."

"That's true. And the pity of it is that after us will come rocket after rocket to ravage this planet. They'll gouge the minerals out of the earth, destroy the forests and eventually they'll go to war over it."

my partner said something so smart last night,

we were talking about how much we loved Interstellar and how there are apparently people (including his best buddy, who immediately rec'd other "better" media over Interstellar when it was mentioned, rather than engaging with the conversation) who like, hate that the story is about love, and shit on Anne Hathaway's speech about how love might be a quantifiable force that transcends time and space, or whatever, and he said,

"I think whoever enjoyed the movie wins."

and I've just been thinking about that all day

Just realized I never mentioned that one of my favorite tv shows is For All Mankind.

Highly recommend it by the way. It’s an awesome show.

You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E193 Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your trusted source for the latest space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have an exciting lineup of stories, from the edge of our solar system to surprising discoveries closer to home. Highlights: - Voyager 1 Communication Challenges: NASA's Voyager 1, 15 billion miles from Earth, recently faced communication issues due to a fault protection system trigger. After switching to a backup S band system, NASA successfully reestablished contact, showcasing the spacecraft's resilience and the challenges of maintaining aging technology in interstellar space. - China's Tiangong Space Station Mission: A new crew of three astronauts launched to China's Tiangong Space Station, marking another milestone in the nation's space exploration. Notably, Wang Haozi joins as China's only female spaceflight engineer, contributing to lunar soil experiments that align with China's lunar ambitions. - Potential Ocean on Uranus's Moon Miranda: Research suggests Miranda might host a subsurface ocean beneath its chaotic surface. This discovery positions Miranda among other potential ocean worlds, expanding our understanding of liquid water in the solar system. - Mars's Extended Magnetic Field: New findings from Harvard suggest Mars's protective magnetic field lasted longer than previously thought. This extended timeline implies more favorable conditions for life to have developed, challenging assumptions about Mars's early history. - Terraforming Mars for Tree Growth: Research from Warsaw University explores the conditions needed to grow trees on Mars, focusing on the Hellas Basin for its potential to support Martian forests, bringing us closer to transforming the Red Planet. - Comet C 2024 S1 Atlas Disintegration: The comet, initially promising a bright Halloween display, disintegrated after a close solar encounter. Its demise offers insights into comet compositions and the extreme conditions near the Sun. For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.
