Leo Triplet Spiral Galaxy M65 - August 12th, 1996.

"Spiral galaxy M65 is a normal spiral galaxy not unlike our own Milky Way. In fact, M65 is a typical spiral galaxy of a type that could be found anywhere in the local Universe. Given a morphological type of "Sa," M65 shows tightly wrapped spiral arms and a large nuclear central bulge. The central bulge stars are older and redder than disk stars, which appear more blue. Stars in the bulge of the our own Milky Way galaxy are also typically older and redder than stars in the disk where our Sun resides. M65 is a member of the Leo Triplet of galaxies, along with its neighbors M66 and NGC 3628. Although it appears that M65's gravity has distorted M66's symmetry, M65's symmetry seems unaffected by M66. M65 is located roughly 35 million light years away, so that light recorded today left after the fall of the dinosaurs but when many land mammals were just evolving on Earth."

The Leo Trio

Explanation: This popular group leaps into the early evening sky around the March equinox and the northern hemisphere spring. Famous as the Leo Triplet, the three magnificent galaxies found in the prominent constellation Leo gather here in one astronomical field of view. Crowd pleasers when imaged with even modest telescopes, they can be introduced individually as NGC 3628 (left), M66 (bottom right), and M65 (top). All three are large spiral galaxies but tend to look dissimilar, because their galactic disks are tilted at different angles to our line of sight. NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy, is temptingly seen edge-on, with obscuring dust lanes cutting across its puffy galactic plane. The disks of M66 and M65 are both inclined enough to show off their spiral structure. Gravitational interactions between galaxies in the group have left telltale signs, including the tidal tails and warped, inflated disk of NGC 3628 and the drawn out spiral arms of M66. This gorgeous view of the region spans over 1 degree (two full moons) on the sky in a frame that covers over half a million light-years at the trio's estimated distance of 30 million light-years.

if richas was a literal cardboard box baby, how were some of the other eggs adopted? 😭

Let's go over the eggs mentioned so far in the fic, shall we?

Bobby was actually the son of one of Roier's family members, but the mom tragically passed away and so he was left with legal custody

Quackity adopted Tilin after having them in class and realizing how horrible their home life was. Think Matilda and Miss Honey

Trump(et) is legit just Maximus' kid. Dan was just Max's roommate at the time, and so he stepped up as a secondary parent figure because Trump's actual other dad wasn't in the picture

Bad got Dapper from an orphanage after being sent there as the Grim Reaper to take some dying kid's soul, but he got attached and now Dapper is his son and a Grim Reaper In Training

Leo's parents are both super rich old vampires, but she was legit just rooting around in their trash one day for food and they saw her and went "Hey no wait humans don't eat garbage!!!" and now she has a home and she's very, very spoiled

Flippa is Tilin's actual literal sister who, when the Government split up their household after an investigation, got sent to live with a freshly-married Mariana and Slime, and they are all trying their goddamn hardest

Unusual Spiral Galaxy M66 - August 10th, 1996.

"Spiral galaxy M66 is the largest galaxy in a group known as the Leo Triplet. M66 is somewhat peculiar because of its asymmetric spiral arms. Usually dense waves of gas, dust, and newly formed stars - called spiral density waves - circle a galactic center and create a symmetric galaxy. Gravity from nearby Leo Triplet neighbor M65, however, has probably distorted this galaxy. In M66, intricate long dust lanes are seen intertwined with the bright stars that light up the spiral arms. Research indicates that M66 is unusual in that older stars are thought to heat up the dust in the galaxy's central bulge - a job attributed to young and hot stars in many other galaxies. M66 is famous for a powerful "Type Ia" supernova that was observed in 1989. Stellar explosions like this are thought to be nearly identical and so by noting how bright they appear, astronomers can estimate their true distance - and therefore calibrate the scale of the Universe!"

+ an old drawing I found of the triplets and small baby pomme (this was like 2 weeks after her arrival)

[yyadream]

This is a sketch of a comic i want to do, if not maybe write a fanfic, idk still think about it. This going to be my Rottmnt x Soul Eater AU of the triplets silly adventures together. This is going to be based off the first Excalibur ep in Soul Eater. If you ever watch Soul Eater you’ll know what’s going to happen.

Summary:

Donnie and Leo made a bet that one of them is more worthy to pull Excalibur. Frida tagged along to record their humiliation in case one or neither isn’t able to pull the sword.

Frida can’t pull the sword because she’s a weapon too, while her brothers are Meister.

Other than Excalibur and the fairy, I thought about bringing other Soul Eater characters.

[happylittleaccident05]

Turtle tot triplets! Yellow stripes is Frida, red stripes is Leo, and no stripes is Raph!

Can you tell I based them off of kittens?

thinking about. cucurucho and cucurojo, with their inverse color schemes. thinking about quackity and elquackity. thinking about bagi and cellbit, with their brown and white hair. thinking about dapper and ramon, who use dark gray and white signs. recurring themes .
