Trembling candle light; rose gold iphone; tracing constellations; overflowing bookshelves; the breath you take after being underwater for too long; minimalism; greek mythology; komorebi (sunlight that filters trough the trees); fairy lights; black outfits; rare but significant hugs; sad books; philosophy; afraid of being average; watercolors; quotes written on wrists; smoking cigarettes; halsey lyrics; climbing ivy on the railings; the smell of air right before the storm; having pierced ears but not wearing earrings; being alone but not lonely; the smile you make after passing a test you haven’t studied for; large scarves; the brontë sisters’ books; breaking glass.

a reminder for those studying maths

you are NOT stupid, or lazy or anything like that if you are struggling

maths is notorious for being super difficult

when you are in your own bubble of seeing loads of people studying maths in your lectures or classes, it is so easy to put yourself down and convince yourself you are not good enough

the truth is, you are still wonderful and brilliant at maths to get as far as you have

everyone else outside your maths classes thinks you are super smart and super crazy for choosing to do maths

please don’t put yourself down, and remember that you are wonderful

maths takes passion, hard work and focus, and you can do it

Jupiter's Great Red Spot Getting Taller as it Shrinks

Discover how a team of our scientists has uncovered evidence that Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is growing taller as it gets smaller.

Though once big enough to swallow three Earths with room to spare, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot has been shrinking for a century and a half. Nobody is sure how long the storm will continue to contract or whether it will disappear altogether.

A new study suggests that it hasn’t all been downhill, though. The storm seems to have increased in area at least once along the way, and it’s growing taller as it gets smaller.

Observations of Jupiter date back centuries, but the first confirmed sighting of the Great Red Spot was in 1831. But until then, researchers aren’t certain whether earlier observers who saw a red spot on Jupiter were looking at the same storm.

Amy Simon, an expert in planetary atmospheres at our Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and her team traced the evolution of the Great Red Spot, analyzing its size, shape, color  and drift rate. They also looked at the storm’s internal wind speeds, when that information was available from spacecraft.

This new study confirms that the storm has been decreasing in diameter overall since 1878 and is now big enough to accommodate just over one Earth at this point. Then again, the historical record indicates the area of the spot grew temporarily in the 1920s. Scientists aren’t sure why it grew for a bit.

Because the storm has been contracting, the researchers expected to find the already-powerful internal winds becoming even stronger, like an ice skater who spins faster as she pulls in her arms.

But that’s not what is happening. Instead of spinning faster, the storm appears to be forced to stretch up. It’s almost like clay being shaped on a potter’s wheel. As the wheel spins, an artist can transform a short, round lump into a tall, thin vase by pushing inward with his hands. The smaller he makes the base, the taller the vessel will grow.

The Great Red Spot’s color has been deepening, too, becoming is a more intense orange color since 2014. Researchers aren’t sure why that’s happening, but it’s possible that the chemicals coloring the storm are being carried higher into the atmosphere as the spot stretches up. At higher altitudes, the chemicals would be subjected to more UV radiation and would take on a deeper color.

In some ways, the mystery of the Great Red Spot only seems to deepen as the iconic storm gets smaller. Researchers don’t know whether the spot will shrink a bit more and then stabilize, or break apart completely.

I’m an ENTJ, and my favorite part of the day is *by far* the early morning. I love my alarm going off before most of the world has even thought about rolling out of bed. I love having tea, sitting on the porch, and listening to the stillness while I catch up on the news or read about/work on ideas. I’d get up every morning at 4:00 or 4:30 am if I could. It’s like I own my own piece of the world in those hours before the neighborhood wakes. 

mbti and parts of the day

Hey everyone,

I would like to see the correlation between mbti and your favourite part of the day (morningns, nights, etc.)

Thanks for your help, ~x Z.

Too beautiful not to reblog
