tell me characters?

YES

okay starting with the protagonist

Alejandra Bello (AKA Stellar): She is an 12 year old girl at the beginning of the book. She lived in Cuba till she was 5 before moving to Ontario, Canada. She has black coily hair, light brown skin, and black eyes. She also has six fingers on each hand (hello gravity falls fans.) She is funny, smart, and usually kind, but she is very easily angered. When in a rage, she shouts and hits people and breaks things. She's also very loud, regardless if she's mad or not. This causes her to not have many friends. Along with her personality, they think she looks scary and/or weird because of her eyes and her hand. This often leads to her always feeling like she doesn't belong. Also, Alejandra is her first name but her classmates struggle a lot with saying it. So she goes by the nickname Stellar, as her mom also affectionately referred to her as a mi estrella or estrella joven.

Alec Martens: Alec is a boy who also goes to Stellar's middle school. He has had a speech impediment since he was born, and has never spoken. He uses a AAC to communicate, and either clicks symbols or types the words out. He has black hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. He is shy and also doesn't have many friends. Except for Stellar. They're really close. Really close. The other kids pretty much ignore him or pity him but refuse to speak to him because talking or treating him normally to him is just too complicated for them. He feels left out quite often, except for when he's with Stellar. He loves drawing and being held.

Kaia (no last name for her cause she just doesn't get one): Kaia has albinism. She has long white hair, extremely pale skin, and light blue eyes. She's very hyperactive and expressive and funny, but she often struggles with respecting boundaries. She likes doing alot of different things and is very adventurous, and will quickly abandon things for something new.

[girulicchio]

È giunto il momento

Data stellare: X-EPSILON-KAPPA-3.  Non ne ho idea di cosa voglia dire data stellare, né tantomento come si esprima. Ma questo è l’inizio della fine ed era giusto chiarire i toni fin da subito.  Ilaria dà per scontato che mi manchi casa e pur di avere ragione ha detto che casa non è la dimora in cui vivi, ma è quello che vivi. E io, per non dirle che così è troppo facile, ho ribattuto dicendo che sono in attesa, che tutto è in perfetto equilibrio tra eccitazione e paura, tra coraggio e sconforto, tra bello e brutto. Di questa frase così complessa, lei ha trattenuto solo: in attesa. Fortuna che non ho usato l’aggettivo dolce, altrimenti avrei dovuto preoccuparmi - più io che lei, si sa che il problema è il parto e non il concepimento. Ora, dopo quasi due settimane che sembrano mesi, posso dire che non è vero. Credo di essere in una bolla e non sono sicuro se non si rompe o se non ci ho nemmeno provato.  Una parte di me vuole drammatizzare tutto, dire che sono come gli emigrati con la valigetta di cartone. Un altra sa che sono nel lusso e che se non faccio cose è solo per umore, di certo non per mancanza di possibilità. E come al solito le parti che mi compongono non sono solo due, ma migliaia.  È un combattimento da guerra fredda, quello che sento dentro. Non mi sento realmente solo, perché per gran parte del tempo parlo con qualcuno, ma vivo solo. E la solitudine è bella in piccole dosi, probabilmente. Vivo di pentimenti e di rimorsi, nonostante mi forzi a imparare a fare il contrario, a guardare il lato positivo delle cose e a pensare a cosa posso fare di concreto. Continuo a ripetermi che quando troverò una nuova routine tutto andrà meglio, ma è solo il mio razionale modo di prendere altro tempo.  È giunto il momento di scrivere come mi sento, perché forse a parole non so spiegarmi. Quando uso carta e penna (o, ormai, la versione digitale di queste ultime) è tutto più semplice, scorrevole.  Non so se disagio è la parola adatta, io non lo direi. Credo, piuttosto, che possa avere senso parlare di diffidenza. Ilaria direbbe ansia, ma per lei tutti hanno l’ansia. Sono diffidente verso il nuovo e metto a tacere la vocina che mi sprona a provarci. La tengo a bada accarezzandola e dicendole che presto lo farò, che mi serve solo tempo. A tratti, però, non ci credo nemmeno io. Non mi serve - o almeno non credo - sentirmelo dire ancora. Riuscirò, ce la farò. Non ho intenzione di resistere e di tirare a campare, ma piuttosto voglio vivere quest’esperienza come merita. Solo non posso pretendere né fingere che mi bastino due settimane per reinventarmi, per diventare socievole in una lingua straniera quando a stento riesco ad esserlo nella mia.  È giunto il momento di assumere due supposte - spero più metaforiche che fisiche.

ESO telescope captures most detailed infrared map of Milky Way ever

The latest report from the European Southern Observatory (ESO): ESO telescope captures the most detailed infrared map ever of our Milky Way

This collage highlights a small selection of regions of the Milky Way imaged as part of the most detailed infrared map ever of our galaxy. Here we see, from left to right and top to bottom: NGC 3576, NGC 6357, Messier 17, NGC 6188, Messier 22 and NGC 3603. All of them are clouds of gas and dust where stars are forming, except Messier 22, which is a very dense group of old stars. The images were captured with ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) and its infrared camera VIRCAM. The gigantic map to which these images belong contains 1.5 billion objects. The data were gathered over the course of 13 years as part of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey and its companion project, the VVV eXtended survey (VVVX). Astronomers have published a gigantic infrared map of the Milky Way containing more than 1.5 billion objects ― the most detailed one ever made. Using the European Southern Observatory’s VISTA telescope, the team monitored the central regions of our Galaxy over more than 13 years. At 500 terabytes of data, this is the largest observational project ever carried out with an ESO telescope. “We made so many discoveries, we have changed the view of our Galaxy forever,” says Dante Minniti, an astrophysicist at Universidad Andrés Bello in Chile who led the overall project. https://youtu.be/Yalty4aTvCw This record-breaking map comprises 200 000 images taken by ESO’s VISTA ― the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy. Located at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile, the telescope’s main purpose is to map large areas of the sky. The team used VISTA’s infrared camera VIRCAM, which can peer through the dust and gas that permeates our galaxy. It is therefore able to see the radiation from the Milky Way’s most hidden places, opening a unique window onto our galactic surroundings. This gigantic dataset covers an area of the sky equivalent to 8600 full moons, and contains about 10 times more objects than a previous map released by the same team back in 2012. It includes newborn stars, which are often embedded in dusty cocoons, and globular clusters –– dense groups of millions of the oldest stars in the Milky Way. Observing infrared light means VISTA can also spot very cold objects, which glow at these wavelengths, like brown dwarfs (‘failed’ stars that do not have sustained nuclear fusion) or free-floating planets that don’t orbit a star.

This image from ESO’s VISTA telescope captures a celestial landscape of vast, glowing clouds of gas and tendrils of dust surrounding hot young stars. This infrared view reveals the stellar nursery known as NGC 6357 in a new light. It was taken as part of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey, which is currently scanning the Milky Way in a bid to map our galaxy’s structure and explain how it formed. The observations began in 2010 and ended in the first half of 2023, spanning a total of 420 nights. By observing each patch of the sky many times, the team was able to not only determine the locations of these objects, but also track how they move and whether their brightness changes. They charted stars whose luminosity changes periodically that can be used as cosmic rulers for measuring distances . This has given us an accurate 3D view of the inner regions of the Milky Way, which were previously hidden by dust. The researchers also tracked hypervelocity stars — fast-moving stars catapulted from the central region of the Milky Way after a close encounter with the supermassive black hole lurking there. The new map contains data gathered as part of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey and its companion project, the VVV eXtended (VVVX) survey. “The project was a monumental effort, made possible because we were surrounded by a great team,” says Roberto Saito, an astrophysicist at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Brazil and lead author of the paper published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics on the completion of the project. The VVV and VVVX surveys have already led to more than 300 scientific articles. With the surveys now complete, the scientific exploration of the gathered data will continue for decades to come. Meanwhile, ESO’s Paranal Observatory is being prepared for the future: VISTA will be updated with its new instrument 4MOST and ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) will receive its MOONS instrument. Together, they will provide spectra of millions of the objects surveyed here, with countless discoveries to be expected. Notes The dataset is too large to release as a single image, but the processed data and objects catalogue can be accessed in the ESO Science Portal. One way to measure the distance to a star is by comparing how bright it appears as seen from Earth to how intrinsically bright it is; but the latter is often unknown. Certain types of stars change their brightness periodically, and there is a very strong connection between how quickly they do this and how intrinsically luminous they are. Measuring these fluctuations allows astronomers to work out how luminous these stars are, and therefore how far away they lie. Vía Láctea is the Latin name for the Milky Way.

Evolvere

Cosa è bello sperare per questo anno appena iniziato, secondo me e secondo ben più autorevoli commentatori...

In questo periodo ci si imbatte in una molteplicità stellare, direi, di auguri ed auspici per il nuovo anno. Astronomicamente parlando, come fanno notare alcuni, questo è appena l’inizio di un altro giro intorno al Sole: tuttavia penso che debba trattenere una sua carica di evocazione, di suggestione. Perché qui è stato detto molte volte, l’astronomia che ha ancora valore è ormai soltanto (e non…

[pixelz-but-with-uh-z]

its yapping time!!!! yayy!!1'!1!1!!'

1 : my main character, stellar, is from another planet called Zilla where aliens called Zathans live. they can preform magic. magic is formed from energy in their body and travels through the nerves. some Zathans look more human, and some look more like monsters but they are all pretty humanoid. there are evil, " chaos " zathans and good, " order " zathans. and neutral zathans that are on neither side. the world is split between the 3 factions. The chaos and order factions have been at war for generations. they have 2 forms, and they gain their second form when they go through the Zathan version of puberty. their second form is typically referred to as their " fight " or " defense " form, where they become bigger and stronger until the form is deactivated. fight forms are not really used for fighting much anymore because Zathans are "civilized" beings and resolve issues with their voices and not their fists. people only really tend to use them to show off to their friends or to seem attractive. like having a really cool fight form is the equivalent of being 6ft and rich. unless you live in a chaos zone. then it's every woman, man, and child for themselves. also mythical creatures live on zilla, like dragons and unicorns and vampires and stuff.

2: fantasy!

3: the main character is named Steller Bello. She was born in 1999 and was 12 when the book started ( in 2011 ) she moved to Canada from the Dominican Republic when she was a little girl and has lived there since. She is very kind and adventurous and silly and fun, though she always doubted herself a little inside because she always felt a bit out of place, no matter where she went. though, she struggles with controlling her anger sometimes, snapping at her friends and her family and breaking things when things don't go the way she wanted them to. She is best friends with a boy named Alec, who is nonverbal. she started learning sign language so he could talk to him when she was 7 so she could communicate with him, and became nearly completely fluent at 12. She is half Zathan, but doesn't learn this until she is told she is by her father.

4: stellar's dad, King Verbrenn. he's the king of the evil part of Zilla, which i am yet to find a proper name for. he really likes fire and taking over small towns and kingdoms and the color red and being evil. he forced himself onto stellar's mom, took one of the babies when she had twins, (he didn't know she had twins, he thought he was taking her only baby) kidnapped Stellar when he found out she tricked him, and killed stellar's mom. also, stellar mom was not his wife. but he killed her too because she said she never loved him. also he manipulated his other daughter, Pyre, into becoming a tinier version of him.

5: Goodness and trust are one of the most powerful things one can have. (cringey, i know. but i was gonna put friendship which would have been worse)

6: favorite scene: when stellar is happy and playing and talking with alec at her house.

struggle scene: when stellar is being kidnapped by her dad's men. the flow just doesn't feel right for some reason.

7: Stellar gets kidnapped from Earth and taken to Zilla. She lives there for 3 years before escaping back to Earth in a stolen airship. She lives in a orphanage a year and makes friends with Kaia. She convinces Stellar to go back to her home town, and she learns that Alec still lives there. She tells him the truth about being an alien and all the stuff about Zilla. He agrees to help her stop her dad, and Kaia comes too. They go to Zilla, convince Pyre to join their side with questionable method, fight Stellar's dad, win, and live happily ever after.

8: Yes. The questionable method mentioned before was Kaia pretty much saying "role to seduce" and getting a nat 20. Wooing and sweet talking Pyre into submission, and causing Pyre to question the actual reason she felt nothing when men tried to charm her, but got super flustered when Kaia used her silly pick up lines on her.

9: Alec, Kaia, Maria ( Stella's Mom ), King Verbrenn, and Pyre.

10: spoiler alert!!! 🚨 ‼️ 🔔

im thinking about Stellar and Alec not falling in love at the end of the book because that would be expected and cliché. a girl and a guy can just be friends, contrary to popular belief.

i need people to ask me about my story or I'm never writing it

[fishymom-art]

hi, this is my habi-sona Stellar Bello (real last name is Lockhard) 

she’s a singer, who drinks down her talent and got to Habitat because of her insecurity. She usually spends time in the Lounge and jealously looks at Tiff. To make her happy, you have to bring her a microphone and make her sing hehhe

[jjjanedou]

It's a pleasure for me to draw your OCs, @captainleemon & @fishymom-art

#Positivity Protocol! 😄💙☀️ Send this to ten muns who you think portray their muses so damn well and are just generally awesome!

MULTIKILL AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[fishymom-art]

yes, I am happy, thank you uwu

@fishymom-art dragged me into Smile For Me fandom and I can’t crawl out back so here is my own Habisona

Mine and Fishy’s are sisters. My girl is Faynt Lockhard and she is trans and proud. Likes to hang out at carnival, but she is too shy to even talk to someone there. Her sister is the only one who can make Faynt even say a word.

Are you happy now?

[enplein-air]

Ho iniziato a guardare A discovery of witches perché Matthew very Goode è troppo sexy per non essere venerato ogni giorno anche solo nel ricordo della puntata e devo dire che se non fosse per lui e per Zoroaster di Da Vinci's Demons avrei droppato la serie durante i primi 5 minuti però non l'ho fatto e siccome sono una persona povera dentro che adora il trash mi sono pure messa a leggere i libri e ahimè la situazione peggiora visibilmente ma non vedo l'ora di vederlo trasposto così posso riempire le mie giornate con il guilty pleasure per eccellenza nell'attesa che torni Shadowhunters dove la regola principale nella scelta del cast è stata "Prendiamo i più cani a recitare".

Bello Collective 100 Best Podcast Episodes of 2021

"Second Star to the Left, “The Scout” - Independent

If you enjoy nerding out about science while grappling with the complexities of human emotions and relationships, Second Star to the Left doles out both in perfect unison.

Gwen is a Scout-Explorer, sent on a five-year-long solitary mission to a habitable planet in order to prep and prepare it for settlement. Only, she’s not actually that lonely because she has Bell Summers in her ear for four hours every other day, a minder in another part of space entirely. 

Second Star to the Left concentrates on the power of stories, the strength of our voices to build entire relationships, and what it means to be able to simply listen to someone when you think you’re helpless.

It all hinges on voice actors Ishani Kanetkar and Jorin Baas and their confusing, frustrating, explosive meeting in the very first episode. A plot mainly carried by two actors needs stellar voice work to buy into their relationship as a movable, mutable thing, and Kanetkar and Baas have not only embodied the twin feelings of whimsy and fear of taking on a new, uninhabited planet, but the very core of what it means to try to create your own Neverland.

Chosen by Elena Fernández Collins, Bello Collective staff writer and creator of Audio Dramatic"
