i sUppose the concept of fandometrics as a whole is rather interesting! althoUgh i mUst admit, the majority of the stUff that make it to the weekly data are Unbelievably men-centered, especially when it comes to the ships. 

it is Utterly disappointing to know that nobody is organizing another dashcon for earth C. u_u

Holiday Lights from the Universe

Although there are no seasons in space, some cosmic vistas invoke thoughts of a frosty winter landscape. Here are a few stellar images of holiday wonderlands from across the galaxy…

Located in our galaxy about 5,500 light years from Earth, this region is actually a “cluster of clusters,” containing at least three clusters of young stars, including many hot, massive, luminous stars.

The outstretched “wings” of this nebula looks like a soaring, celestial snow angel. Twin lobes of super-hot gas, glowing blue in this image, stretch outward from the central star. This hot gas creates the “wings” of our angel. A ring of dust and gas orbiting the star acts like a belt, clinching the expanding nebula into an “hourglass” shape.

At this time of year, holiday parties often include festive lights. When galaxies get together, they also may be surrounded by a spectacular light show. This pair of spiral galaxies has been caught in a grazing encounter. This region has hosted three supernova explosions in the past 15 years and has produced one of the most bountiful collections of super-bright X-ray lights known.

What do the following things have in common: a cone, the fur of a fox and a Christmas tree? Answer: they all occur in the constellation of the unicorn (Monoceros). Pictured as a star forming region, the complex jumble of cosmic gas and dust is about 2,700 light-years away.

Resembling festive lights on a holiday wreath, this Hubble Space Telescope image of a nearby spiral galaxy is an iconic reminder of the impending season. Bright knots of glowing gas light up the spiral arms, indicating a rich environment of star formation.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured two festive-looking nebulas, situated so as to appear as one. Intense radiation from the brilliant central stars is heating hydrogen in each of the nebulas, causing them to glow red…like a holiday light.

karkarbinks whatdya think of 13 goin on 30

OKAY, FIRST OFF, YOU’RE LUCKY THAT I THINK THAT 13 GOING ON THIRTY IS A BRILLIANT WORK OF ART, BUT IF YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN CONSIDER YOURSELF EXPUNGED FROM MY PAN SO I DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE AGONY OF BEING REFERRED TO THAT QUACKBEAST-FACED TOOL.

ON POINT THOUGH: THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT, BUT I THINK IT’S LACKING JUST A BIT IN TERMS OF THE COUPLES SHARED EXPERIENCES. SURE, THE ROMANCE SEEMS GREAT WHEN JENNA’S AN ADULT IN 2004, BUT THEY COMPLETELY ERASE THAT CANON THE MINUTE SHE WISHES HERSELF BACK IN 1987, AND THEY HAVE TO START THE ROMANCE ALL OVER AGAIN. MATT DOESN’T GET ANY OF THE STRUGGLE THAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER! IT’S STILL A SOUND RELATIONSHIP, OF COURSE, BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE THE STRONG FOUNDATION THAT COUPLES NEED TO WORK TOWARDS HAVING A TRUE SENSE OF STABILITY AND WORKABLE INTIMACY! ONLY JENNA REMEMBERS, AND THAT’S NOTHING TO WORK OFF OF.

HER PITCH RELATIONSHIP WITH LUCY WAS DEFINITELY THE BETTER PART OF THE MOVIE, EVEN IF IT WAS MORE OF A FLING THAN ANYTHING ELSE. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, THE TWO OF THEM WERE ALWAYS IN THE PITCH QUADRANT TOGETHER, AND THE EXPERIENCES THEY SHARED BETWEEN THEM WOULD PROBABLY END UP BEING THE SAME NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES JENNA SPRINKLED HER WEIRD FUCKING FAIRY DUST AND CLICKED HER HEELS THREE TIMES, OR WHATEVER. THAT WAS THE TRULY COMPELLING ROMANCE OF THE FILM.
