Letters From The End Of The World

hey so i don't usually do these kinds of things but ive decided to open up donations.

i am a nonbinary person living in russia, which is a pretty shitty country for pretty much anyone, but especially someone with no financial or mental support. two years ago i escaped my abusive household, and ive been trying to survive on my own since then. starting from last autumn, my financial situation has been worsening greatly - i've applied for multiple jobs that have all paid me less than initially promised, and have in a few instances delayed the payment. 

currently i work in food delivery, which is a physically demanding job with long hours, and yet the salary barely covers my rent, antidepressants and basic food needs. i will continue to try and get myself out of this situation, search for better jobs, look into tutoring starting this autumn, but any extra help i can get will be greatly appreciated. if every tenth of my follower count donated a dollar, that would already make a sizeable amount of money that will help me survive and move forward. 

my pаypаl is /forestagain. if you can't donate, just reblogging this post will also be a great help. thank you in advance for your kindness.

Voyager Golden Record, a 4* Foreigner-class Servant!

Golden Record was a disk sent out to space aboard Voyagers 1 and 2, with the purpose of telling extraterrestrial life about Earth and human life if it were to ever come in contact with them. In its trek in interstellar space, it was found by the Blackness of the Stars, an Outer God made out of cosmic matter. 

An Outer God who had never made any attempts to communicate, and a disk made with the exact purpose to communicate with otherwordly beings- a unison that ended up as a Heroic Spirit.

Here's another Mega Man oc of mine! He's called Spitzer and he's inspired by the Spitzer Space Telescope! Along with James Webb, he is one of my favourites!

I created him on the day the Spitzer Space Telescope deactivated so he ended up being quite gloomy in personality.

Personality: Aloof, serious, quiet, lonely

Likes: Research, looking for exoplanets

Dislikes: Too much heat, noisy robots, loneliness

One of James Webb's predecessors, he can see the universe around him in infrared light. Being incredibly advanced and intelligent, he starts to question his existence and purpose and soon develops an existential crisis. He is a workaholic and rarely spends time with his siblings.

Temporary ‘Mini-Moon’ Will Begin To Orbit Earth Next Week: What To Know

The mini-moon is a tiny asteroid that was discovered in August by a team of NASA-funded scientists.

i haven't seen any posts about this yet so i hope everyone knows we will be getting a mini moon in just 5 days :)

Pioneer Venus Multiprobe.

Off to catch a date with the sun!

Speeding through at over 500 times the speed of sound, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – on December 14th, where it sampled it’s particles and magnetic fields. Going where no probe has gone before.

See the Universe in a New Way with the Webb Space Telescope's First Images

Are you ready to see unprecedented, detailed views of the universe from the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever made? Scroll down to see the first full-color images and data from Webb. Unfold the universe with us. ✨

Carina Nebula

This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars, called the Cosmic Cliffs, is the edge of the star-birthing Carina Nebula. Usually, the early phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb can peer through cosmic dust—thanks to its extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution, and imaging capability. Protostellar jets clearly shoot out from some of these young stars in this new image.

Southern Ring Nebula

The Southern Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula: it’s an expanding cloud of gas and dust surrounding a dying star. In this new image, the nebula’s second, dimmer star is brought into full view, as well as the gas and dust it’s throwing out around it. (The brighter star is in its own stage of stellar evolution and will probably eject its own planetary nebula in the future.) These kinds of details will help us better understand how stars evolve and transform their environments. Finally, you might notice points of light in the background. Those aren’t stars—they’re distant galaxies.

Stephan’s Quintet

Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies near each other, was discovered in 1877 and is best known for being prominently featured in the holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This new image brings the galaxy group from the silver screen to your screen in an enormous mosaic that is Webb’s largest image to date. The mosaic covers about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter; it contains over 150 million pixels and is constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files. Never-before-seen details are on display: sparkling clusters of millions of young stars, fresh star births, sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars, and huge shock waves paint a dramatic picture of galactic interactions.

WASP-96 b

WASP-96 b is a giant, mostly gas planet outside our solar system, discovered in 2014. Webb’s Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) measured light from the WASP-96 system as the planet moved across the star. The light curve confirmed previous observations, but the transmission spectrum revealed new properties of the planet: an unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze, and evidence of clouds in the atmosphere. This discovery marks a giant leap forward in the quest to find potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.

Webb's First Deep Field

This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, looks 4.6 billion years into the past. Looking at infrared wavelengths beyond Hubble’s deepest fields, Webb’s sharp near-infrared view reveals thousands of galaxies—including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared—in the most detailed view of the early universe to date. We can now see tiny, faint structures we’ve never seen before, like star clusters and diffuse features and soon, we’ll begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.

These images and data are just the beginning of what the observatory will find. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.
