The International Space Station was passing over South Africa when this image of the Earth was captured by French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, 5 September 2021. The orange band is made up of sodium atoms left behind by meteors entering our planet's atmosphere.

In the autumn of 1883, a paper in the nation's capital reported that "an Iowa woman has spent 7 years embroidering the solar system on a quilt" — to teach astronomy in an era when women could not attend college. Her story.

Workaholics Anonymous 

Science Major: Man, I sure wish I had time to enjoy college but I have so much studying and homework to do. At least I'll get an easy high paying job after, right?

Physicist: I think I have a pretty good work life balance (does not, actually) and I think my grad students should have the same work life balance (which is not having that)

Astronomer: I work *about 40 hour weeks, but sometimes there are hours are in the middle of the night 'cause, y'know, stars. But who needs a consistent sleep schedule, really? Not me. I got Redbull.

Geologist: Sometimes I get to spend 15 hours a day wandering through the desert in severe weather conditions looking for cool rocks! also I have to like survey the land or whatever so I can get money

Chemist: Oh, you know, my PI only lets me see my family at night for dinner, then I have to come back and sleep in the lab, but overall I’d say I’m not too stressed.

Physician: Well, I had to work really hard, so why shouldn't everyone else have to work even harder? I'm sure the patients could only benefit from everyone being sleep deprived.

Biologist: I work so much I don’t even remember the last time I wasn’t working.

Science Major: huh?

Biologist: I MUST OBSERVE THE CRAB AT ALL TIMES. I OBSERVE THE CRAB EVEN AS WE SPEAK. IF I DO NOT PUBLISH 60 PAPERS ON CRAB BEHAVIOR BY NEXT YEAR MY COLLEAGUES WILL SENSE MY WEAKNESS AND DEVOUR ME ALIVE, LIKE A PACK OF STARVING CRABS

Computer Scientist: Um… I work from home for at most 8 hours a day then play video games

Biologist: *licks lips*

Computer Scientist (Game Dev): I would murder you if I wasn't so... oh there I go- *passes out from exhaustion (hasn't slept or touched grass in five years)*

#science #physics #biology #chemistry #geology #scientists sitcom #for real though science has a very toxic work culture in general #we should syop eating each other alive like a pack of crabs just because they want to have a family #is sad just how little i am exaggerating with some of these #CRABS #astronomy #computer science

Natal Placement: 3rd House Jupiter

(The Thoughtful Wanderer)

With Jupiter comfortably nestled in your 3rd House, you're the epitome of a philosophical soul, brimming with optimism and guided by a deeply rooted sense of convention and thoughtfulness. Your intuition isn't just a hunch; it's a powerful tool that seems to steer you in the right direction. This celestial placement works wonders in expanding your mind, making understanding and learning almost second nature to you.

However, there's a bit of mental restlessness in you, a kind of intellectual wanderlust. Engaging in activities or careers that keep you on the move can be a great way to channel this energy.

Yet, with all these gifts, there's a need for caution. Your energies, vast and vibrant, might scatter if not focused. There's also a slight tendency to drift towards impracticality or a sense of self-contentment that could hinder your growth. Your thinking is big-picture oriented; the details sometimes get lost in the grand scheme of things. Staying grounded and attentive to the finer points can help you make the most of Jupiter's blessings.

*Remember this is generalized, keep an eye out for how your Natal Jupiter is aspected for the real TEA.

Okay, so we all know and love this scene, yeah? But there's a bit more to this (which has probably already been discussed, seeing as it's been like six months and we all have massive amounts of brainrot lol).

As I'm sure you know, that clustering of dust and interstellar gas in the center of the frame is referred to as "the Pillars of Creation". Also known as the Hand of God, it's a region within the Eagle Nebula. And the Eagle Nebula is located within the constellation Serpens, which translates from Latin to (you guessed it!) "snake". Here's an image of the constellation itself:

It's actually the only one of 88 constellations (within Western cosmological views) that's split into two pieces: the head of the serpent (serpens caput), as well as the tail of the serpent (serpens cauda), each of which is separated by the constellation Ophiuchus (source). I know it's kind of silly, and sort of a stretch, but it's just interesting to see both the serpentine (Crowley my beloved) and separation (F15 + Crowley’s Fall) motifs play out on a celestial scale.

#also since cultures identify and name constellations differently AND the stars are constantly shifting it's not a great connection but eh. #also feel free to correct me. i took one (1) astronomy course nearly 4 years ago and that is IT. and it was mostly physics stuff #for a very very long time i was actually intending to become an astronomer/astrophysicist. but alas #good omens #crowley #ineffable husbands #good omens 2 #aziracrow #aziraphale #go2 #ineffable lovers #good omens season 2 #ineffable wives #good omens meta #<- sure whatever #the starmaker #gomens #gomens 2 #david tennant #michael sheen #space

ladies if I can give you one tip it’s to know constellations n where they are in the sky. the ULTIMATE rizz as I’ve discovered. and it’s a sneaky way to hold someone’s hand and point them through the sky.

Sean bienvenidos, japonsitasarqueologícos a una nueva entrega en la que hablaremos de un Trending Topic, ya que el país del sol naciente está de moda pues le vamos a sacar beneficios y no es el único tema que están sabiendo explotar, para sacarle el mayor partido. - Lo que vengo a referirme, es que las modas son puro negocio, de lo más nocivo que nos podemos llevar a la cara, antes de que Japón estuviera de moda ya había muchos fakes, pero ahora se han duplicado e incluso triplicado. No hay que creerse todo lo que leamos por internet, siempre hay que cuestionarse las cosas, en este caso vamos a sentarnos, en dos monumentos uno localizado en Inglaterra y otro en japón. - El primero, se trata de stonehenge: Construido en el cuarto mileno 3100 antes de nuestra era, que cada vez se actualizan sus funciones la última más reciente es que no puede ser usado como un calendario solar. El segundo, se trata de Isedōtai site, localizado en la prefectura de Akita, en la región de Tōhoku en el noroeste de Japón, construido en el quinto milenio 4000 a.c en el jomon final. Se usó como calendario solar y posiblemente para los solsticios de verano e invierno. - El tema de esta publicación no es hablar de ninguno de los dos en profundidad, sino criticar a los lucidos, que sitúan stonehenge y Isedōtai site en la misma recta cronológica lo cual es una falacia por que hay por lo menos 1100 a 1500 años de diferencia aproximadamente entre ambas construcciones. - Ese es el problema del occidentalismo y eurocentrismo sobre todo la manía de colocarlo todo en una recta cronológica las fechas son algo aproximadas al igual que las rectas temporales. - Espero que os haya gustado y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones que pasen una buena semana.

Welcome, japonsitasarchaeologists, to a new edition in which we will talk about a Trending Topic, since the country of the rising sun is in fashion, we are going to make the most of it and it is not the only topic that they are knowing how to exploit, to make the most of it. - What I am referring to is that fashions are pure business, the most harmful thing we can take to our faces. Before Japan was in fashion there were already many fakes, but now they have doubled and even tripled. We should not believe everything we read on the internet, we should always question things, in this case we are going to sit on two monuments, one located in England and the other in Japan. - The first one is stonehenge: Built in the fourth millennium 3100 B.C., its functions are updated every time, the latest one is that it cannot be used as a solar calendar. The second is the Isedōtai site, located in Akita prefecture, in the Tōhoku region of northwestern Japan, built in the fifth millennium 4000 BC in the final jomon. It was used as a solar calendar and possibly for the summer and winter solstices. - The subject of this publication is not to discuss either in depth, but to criticise the lucid, who place stonehenge and Isedōtai site in the same chronological line which is a fallacy because there is at least 1100 to 1500 years difference approximately between the two constructions. - That is the problem of westernism and eurocentrism, especially the mania of placing everything on a chronological line, the dates are somewhat approximate, as are the time lines. - I hope you liked it and see you in future publications. Have a nice week.

旭日旗が流行しているので、それを最大限に利用するつもりだ。そして、彼らがそれを最大限に利用する方法を知っているのは、この話題だけではない。

私が言いたいのは、ファッションは純粋なビジネスであり、最も有害なものであるということだ。 日本が流行する前からすでに多くの偽物があったが、今では倍増し、3倍にもなっている。インターネット上の情報を鵜呑みにするのではなく、常に物事を疑ってみる必要がある。

ひとつはストーンヘンジで、紀元前3100年の第四千年紀に建てられた。 もうひとつは、東北地方の秋田県にある伊勢堂岱遺跡で、紀元前4000年、縄文末期の第5千年紀に作られた。

太陽暦として使われ、おそらく夏至と冬至にも使われた。

本書の主題は、どちらか一方を深く論じることではなく、ストーンヘンジと伊勢堂岱遺跡を同じ年代線上に置く明晰な人々を批判することである。

それが西洋主義とヨーロッパ中心主義の問題点であり、特にあらゆるものを年代順に並べようとするマニアの問題点である。

お気に召していただけたなら幸いである。 それではまた。
