SPACE DAY FUCKS
Mounded, luminous clouds of gas and dust glow in this Hubble image of a Herbig-Haro object known as HH 45. Herbig-Haro objects are a rarely seen type of nebula that occurs when hot gas ejected by a newborn star collides with the gas and dust around it at hundreds of miles per second, creating bright shock waves.

In relation to the Earth, I’m not that far away from where I was born. But in relation to the Universe, I’m millions if not billions of miles away from where I was actually born, and I’ll likely never return there.
