SPACEMAS DAY 15 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

Gravitation strong enough to form stars, and stellar winds and radiation powerful enough to create and dissolve towers of gas are the powerful forces at play in the Wizard Nebula. Located only 8,000 light years away, the nebula surrounds a developing open star cluster called NGC 7380. Visually, the stars, gas, and dust have created a shape that might appear like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun.

"Soft fire explodes through my veins with every beat of my heart like the birth of a thousand stars, passion ablaze with desire like a supernova of heavenly fire.. flames silently lick at the back of my mind when you lick your lips, and all I can think of is a kiss. Kiss away my scars like a breeze carrying me away, oh these flames in my veins drive me insane with an uncanny heat.. your lips, my lips, to provide me with something sweet. Oh, this love alive in me is quite the treat.."

Kiss me like there is a supernova in your soul - eUë

During the eight days in hyperspace, the royal throne room in the aft of the ship becomes a war room. The holoprojector in the center, once used for political conferences, instead shows her battle lines. They speak of plans of attack, of acquiring weapons, troops, transports. They speak of likely casualties, and Padmé realizes people are going to die for her. Again.

There is the phantom feel of blood on her face, but she cannot raise her arm to wipe it away. 

She is going to be the first Queen in over eight hundred years to go to war. She’s only now coming to understand what that really means.

Cosmic Vortex

This mesmerizing abstract piece shows a swirling vortex of cosmic energy. Vibrant hues of fiery orange, deep blues, and glowing yellows converge into a radiant central point. The dynamic whirlpool of colors suggests the birth of a star. It also signifies a supernova or a swirling galaxy forming in the vast expanse of space. The fluid brushstrokes evoke a sense of motion and depth, drawing the…

AITA for striking my (M43) son (M20) when he rejected me as his father?

I understand that the title might have you thinking the worst, but please hear me out.

I didn't have a relationship with my son for basically all his life. This was due to my circumstances at the time: I went through a major personal tragedy and was severely injured, to the point of being on life support. To this day I have a lot of issues with my health.

I recently reconnected with my son. I immediately invited him to meet my boss (M92), in hopes that I could set him up with a job opportunity. I feel that this is significant. As far as I know, my son has been working in menial jobs in agriculture, but then apparently chose to leave that life and - to my shock - join a criminal syndicate.

I felt as if getting a good government job would be a way to turn over a new leaf in his life, especially given his past. However, he immediately became combative. I attempted to give him some guidance in managing his emotions, but he rejected that as well.

I'm sad to say that the argument became physical. Some blows were exchanged, but in the end, I was angry enough to strike him. I immediately felt very bad, and decided to offer him the government job on the spot. He rejected me again, and chose to leave very abruptly. I haven't had any contact with him since.

So, AITA?

Edit: Yes, I admit that to call it striking him was an understatement. To clarify, I cut off his hand.

Edit: However, I feel like it should be stated that I myself am a quadruple amputee and we have excellent healthcare.

Edit: I did not immediately identify myself as his father when we met. I think this was my mistake. I think he would have been much more receptive of my message had I done so. As it stands I only told him of our relationship after I had struck him.

Edit: My wife is not in the picture. To my knowledge she passed before his birth.

SPACEMAS DAY 6 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

It's a battle between stars and dust in the Carina Nebula and the stars are winning. More precisely, the energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating and dispersing the dusty stellar nurseries in which they formed. Located in the Carina Nebula and inside a region known informally as Mystic Mountain, these pillars' appearance is dominated by opaque brown dust even though it is composed mostly of clear hydrogen gas. Some of the dust pillars resemble torches, but instead of fire, they are illuminated by nearby stars. About 7,500 light-years away, the featured image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and highlights an interior region of Carina known as HH1066 which spans nearly a light year. Within a few million years, the stars will likely win out completely and the dust torches will completely evaporate.

Some of you are too afraid to admit this but we all know Star Wars works best when it goes full soap opera
