i haven’t posted any of my little bite-sized scientific articles in ages and i’ll say now that it’s because i’ve been busy researching science-y stuff! i’m entering a few competitions that involve me doing a lot of research so that’s my primary focus right now, but trust, the regular science posts will be back soon. <3

Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.

i find it so unfair that i cant do all the science. like what do you MEAN I can't study bio and chem and biochem and atrophysics and physics and geology and climate science. what do you MEAN i have a limited lifespan and need to get out of school at some point to get a job. i want to collect the science fields like pokemon, this isn't fair

A rose made of galaxies

Arp 273 is a pair of interacting galaxies, 300 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was first described in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, compiled by Halton Arp in 1966. The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, is about five times more massive than the smaller galaxy. It has a disc that is tidally distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813. The smaller galaxy shows distinct signs of active star formation at its nucleus, and "it is thought that the smaller galaxy has actually passed through the larger one."

this past week, i had the pleasure of returning to my primary school as a teaching assistant to get some work experience, and it really was a brilliant week. my only regret is that i couldn’t stay longer. the teachers were absolutely lovely and the working environment was wonderful, and the year sixes i helped supervise were the sweetest bunch possible. i hope they all grow into great human beings, it’s a week i won’t ever forget. 🫶🏼
