So, I Haven’t Properly Introduced Myself. My Name Is Camilla And I’m Just A Girl That Loves To Draw.

I have waited a long time to love someone who isn’t him and I don’t know what this is yet but it’s getting easier to see myself every morning without spitting in the mirror the only body I find in my bed anymore is my own and the breeze that comes in is just from an open window it is no longer his absence that haunts me and the blanket is just something to keep me warm it is no longer his arms that I reach for my mouth chews its food like it’s routine but sometimes I surprise myself by enjoying it and with that everything else follows I can find solace in books because their words are not his I can breathe in the open air because this space is not his I can smile without permission because my happiness is not his and I don’t know what this is yet but I think I just caught myself healing.

Astronomers have discovered the first star with an almost pure oxygen atmosphere

Everything else is gone.

Scientists have identified a new kind of star that up until this point had only been considered hypothetically: an ancient sun that has lived so long, its outermost layer is now composed almost entirely of pure oxygen.

When relatively small stars – those with less than 10 times the mass of our Sun – get close to the end of their lifespan, they shed their outer layers and become what are called white dwarfs. Under high gravity, the heaviest elements descend into the star’s dense core, while lighter elements such as hydrogen and helium rise to the surface.

At least, that’s what usually happens. This star, dubbed SDSS J124043.01+671034.68, bucks the trend, with astronomers discovering its outer atmosphere is essentially greater than 99.99 percent oxygen. Only traces of other elements have been detected, including neon, magnesium, and silicon, but as for the hydrogen and helium you’d expect to find dominating the surface, there’s no sign.

It’s a puzzle for the team that found it, led by Souza Oliveira Kepler from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. “What happened to all these light elements?” he told William Herkewitz at Popular Mechanics. “How did they all get stripped away?”

Self-Portrait Masquerade: an Interview with Rimel Neffati

Self-portraiture is synonymous to experimenting and getting to know one’s self, it’s a classic tradition of art history, but it never fails to be beautiful. And such is Rimel Neffati, who finds amusement within herself, through photography, red lipstick, masks, crowns, and flowers.
