Sun Ra
Many musicians think that most people are destined to be musically ignorant, but I know that there is a spark in every person which will respond and glow to the touch of beauty. Because I know this, I am going to continue presenting beauty to the world until I ignite that spark in people's hearts.

In 2016, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured beautifully vivid auroras dancing in Jupiter's atmosphere.

The highest-resolution image ever taken toward Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The ring of light is from hot material swirling around it. The black hole itself cannot be seen, but it swallows light itself, so we see a dark void in the center of the ring
Nice write-up on it by Phil. Looks a lot like the black hole in M87 that this team imaged before, but it's way smaller.

Whenever I look up awesome/interesting/uncommon facts about [insert any planet here], I am reminded that space is LITERALLY my special interest...
Like, do you mean not everyone knows
That Jupiter has no surface?
Or that Jupiter has faint rings & Neptune as well?
That Uranus spins on its side in contrast to all the other planets?
That Uranus is an ice giant & not a gas giant?
That Mars has seasons due to its tilted axis?
That Mercury does have water ice despite being so close to the sun?
That Mercury's core makes up 75% of its total diameter?
That Venus actually spins clockwise, which is very unusual because all other planets (besides Uranus) spin anti-clockwise?
Wild.✨️

@pscentral event 7: space
The satellites are spinning
A new day is dawning
The galaxies are waiting
For planet Earth’s awakening
Oh we sing this song to
A brave tomorrow.
Oh we sing this song to
Abolish sorrow.
Space is the Place (1974) (Insp.)
[ID: Three gifs from Afrofuturist science fiction film “Space is the Place” by Sun Ra. In the first and third gif, there are close ups of Sun Ra, with text in the middle and scenes from the film in small circles one the left and right respectively. The text in gif 1 reads: “The earth cannot move without music. The earth moves in a certain rhythm, a certain sound, a certain note. When the music stops the earth will stop and everything upon it will die.” Text in gif 3 reads: “Outer space is a pleasant place. A place where you can be free. There's no limit to the things you can do. Your thought is free and your life is worthwhile. Space is the place.” The second gif is of Sun Ra and Arkestra at the entrance of his spaceship. The text in the middle reads “Space is the Place” and expands and shrinks. There is a gif on the top right and bottom left of scenes from the film in circles. /END ID]
