look at andromache and quynh’s costumes in the old guard. because we should totally talk about it and how these characters aren’t sexualized one bit during the entire film. no breast plates. no thigh high slits. no bare midriffs. just warriors wearing clothes designed to protect them in a fight. clothes that represents their character, their origin, not designed to please the male gaze. this is why we need more women in the industry. the old guard is directed by a black woman, produced by women, and has strong lead female characters. support.
“The summer skies are there every years to offer us a respite from the hardship of our daily lives, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, they remain one of the few sights that almost all of us still have some opportunity to take in. On a clear night, overhead, an enormous but brilliant collections of stars known as the Summer Triangle dominates the skies this month. If you head outside and attempt to view any of the transient sights out there — the Moon, Comet NEOWISE, the planets, the meteor shower, etc. — take some time and enjoy these deep-sky objects, too.
The night sky is always out there for anyone curious to explore it. Even with the ever-increasing number of satellites and the (sometimes severe) light-pollution that we all must reckon with, these natural wonders are just as intrinsically spectacular as they’ve ever been. Turn your telescope or binoculars up at any or all of these seven objects, and you’ll be looking years, centuries, or even millennia back in time, from giant collections of stars to a preview of our own Sun’s death. The Universe, when you see it for yourself, never disappoints.”
Have you been going out to see the Moon at night? How about Comet NEOWISE? Maybe Jupiter and Saturn? Or perhaps you’re planning on viewing next week’s Perseid meteor shower? While you’re out there, take a glance towards the heavens and notice that giant “triangle” overhead. Inside it, there are seven spectacular sights that any telescope or pair of binoculars can reveal to you.
Even if you have no experience with telescopes at all, these seven objects are well within your reach. Here’s how to view them for yourself.
Standard theory holds that spiral galaxies generally have arms that trail behind the spin of the galaxy, rather like a Catherine wheel firework.
Then there is NGC 4622 which doesn’t, with arms that seem to lead rather than trail the spiral rotation.
Modelling suggests it’s most likely the outcome of an impact, but still remains a matter of conjecture and interest by astronomers.
The galaxy is located in the Southern Sky, in the constellation of Centauri and is 111 million light years from us.
Tip for my followers:
If you want the large pockets of men's pants, but think you're too curvy to fit into regular men's jeans, try looking into men's joggers instead. They're wider in the hips, have the pockets you're looking for, and still come in all different types: jeans, cargos, chinos, sweats, etc to suit your style/needs.
Hope this helps someone :)
