Starlost - Space Fucks

The lightest (i.e., least massive) known star, OTS 44 [3000 x 2400]

So the James Webb telescope just took a picture of a galaxy that is 29 million light years away.

If that wasn't cool enough NASA decided to peel away all the cosmic dust in order to see the bones of the Galaxy itself.

AND IT'S BREATHTAKING

Hubble’s view of the Carina Nebula, from the 2007-2009 era I think?

Something to think about that we don't usually think about

You actually can’t see light. You can only see what light hits.

I’m so fucking emotional about the 7 planets of Trappist 1. 

Imagine living so close to another habitable planet that it’s like a moon in the night sky. Imagine that for six other planets. Imagine hypothetical aliens in their equivalent of the renneisance, mapping orbits and studying the sky, starting to notice each other through their telescopes. God that’s so cool. Imagine knowing something is there so soon and slowly working towards getting to know them. 

Heck, even just being able to see your neighbour planets that close, even without life, makes the solar system so obviously devastatingly lonely by comparison.

please do not disrespect the moon
