Dusty Nebulae in Taurus This complex of dusty nebulae linger along the edge of the Taurus molecular cloud, a mere 450 light-years distant. Stars are forming on the cosmic scene, including extremely youthful star RY Tauri prominent toward the upper left of the 1.5 degree wide telescopic field. In fact RY Tauri is a pre-main sequence star, embedded in its natal cloud of gas and dust, also catalogued as reflection nebula vdB 27. Highly variable, the star is still relatively cool and in the late phases of gravitational collapse. It will soon become a stable, low mass, main sequence star, a stage of stellar evolution achieved by our Sun some 4.5 billion years ago. Another pre-main sequence star, V1023 Tauri, can be spotted below and right, embedded in its yellowish dust cloud adjacent to the striking blue reflection nebula Ced 30.

Peering deep into the core of the Crab Nebula, this close-up image reveals the beating heart of one of the most historic and intensively studied remnants of a supernova, an exploding star. The inner region sends out clock-like pulses of radiation and tsunamis of charged particles embedded in magnetic fields.
The neutron star at the very center of the Crab Nebula has about the same mass as the sun but compressed into an incredibly dense sphere that is only a few miles across. Spinning 30 times a second, the neutron star shoots out detectable beams of energy that make it look like it’s pulsating.
The Hubble Space Telescope snapshot is centered on the region around the neutron star (the rightmost of the two bright stars near the center of this image) and the expanding, tattered, filamentary debris surrounding it. Hubble’s sharp view captures the intricate details of glowing gas, shown in red, that forms a swirling medley of cavities and filaments. Inside this shell is a ghostly blue glow that is radiation given off by electrons spiraling at nearly the speed of light in the powerful magnetic field around the crushed stellar core.

Predicting the fate of the Avengers - Spoilers below
So I just finished Infinity War and boy did it hurt. A lot. So to make myself feel better and hopefully other fans out there, here is a little list of what I think will happen to my children.
IRON MAN/TONY STARK
Well he surprisingly survived Infinity War against all odds but the chances of him surviving Avengers 4 are slim. Robert Downey Junior has made no official statement of renewing his contract with Marvel so he will most probably bow out of the role in Avengers 4. Whether Marvel kills him off entirely or he retires from the life of Iron Man and is never seen again, maybe start a farm with Pepper. Well I hope for the best but that’s not usually what I get.
CAPTAIN AMERICA/NOMAD/STEVE ROGERS
Another person who surprisingly survived Infinity War. Chances of surviving Avengers 4 are small. Chris Evans has not yet expressed any interest in renewing his contract so it will be likely that Captain America will be killed off in Avengers 4. Whether Bucky or Sam will take up the mantle of Captain America is another question entirely.
THANOS
Hopefully this motherfucker dies because he is a complete asshole and doesn’t deserve life. He will probably die by the end of some big final battle in Avengers 4.
THOR
A survivor of Infinity War who will hopefully not die in Avengers 4. With the huge success of Thor: Ragnarok there might be a chance for a Thor 4 and Chris Hemsworth will be back to reprise his role. That would be the best possible outcome for Thor. His chances of surviving Avengers 4 is probably a tiny bit better than the survival of characters such as Iron Man and Captain America. Also he just got this amazing axe upgrade and it would be a bit of a waste for it to be shown in just 2 movies.
BLACK WIDOW/NATASHA ROMANOFF
A survivor of Infinity War. There is a decent chance that she will die in Avengers 4 but also a decent chance that she will live. Marvel is currently working on a Black Widow movie but whether the events in the movie are going to be before or after the events of Avengers 4 is still unknown.
NEBULA
She’s thankfully alive but it could be due to the role she plays in defeating Thanos in the comics. Hopefully we could see her play her part in Avengers 4 but whether she would survive the ordeal in it is still a question remained unanswered. She should survive as her character has a lot of potential for development especially with Guardians of the Galaxy 3 coming up.
THE HULK/BRUCE BANNER
My boy Bruce is alive. The chances of him surviving Avengers 4 are higher than most of his team. Considering the development The Hulk has gone through in Thor: Ragnarok and Infinity War, his character hopefully won’t come to a close in Avengers 4. The Hulk still has room to develop especially after that whole thing in Infinity War where The Hulk wouldn’t come out to fight.
OKOYE
This badass is thankfully alive and should remain so as we won’t have a general to lead the Dora Milaje with a Black Panther sequel being discussed.
ROCKET RACCOON
My small rabbit survived but at a very great cost. Marvel give him a break already he doesn’t deserve losing everyone. He should be safe for Avengers 4 with Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in the works.
WAR MACHINE/RHODEY
Oh he’s already been through so much thank you Marvel for keeping him alive. He should be safe for Avengers 4. If he survives he’ll be a member of the new Avengers and help fill in Tony’s shoes if he dies.
STAR LORD/PETER QUILL
He’s at the moment dead. Star Lord will most probably be revived as there is a Guardians of the Galaxy 3 scheduled for release in the next few years. He should be alive by the end of Avengers 4.
DOCTOR STRANGE/STEPHEN STRANGE
A dead man. Strange will most probably be revived as there is much room for his character to grow and develop. Strange is also a very powerful character in the MCU so getting rid of him will be a waste. A person like Cumberbatch also brings in a lot of profit due to well Benedict being Benedict and the entire internet absolutely loving him. There was also that cliffhanger at the end of Doctor Strange which could be explored in sequels. He should be alive by the end of Avengers 4.
SPIDERMAN/PETER PARKER
Oh my poor child he was too young. Spiderman will most probably be alive by the end of Avengers 4 as there is the Spiderman sequel being made. Spiderman is also a very new and popular addition to the MCU so killing him in Avengers 4 would be a waste.
SCARLET WITCH/WANDA MAXIMOFF
My poor girl is dead. Scarlet Witch is a very powerful character and has a lot of room to grow and develop. Marvel won’t give up this character with that much potential. She should be safe for Avengers 4.
GAMORA
Oh my poor girl is dead. With a Guardians of the Galaxy in the works, it is uncertain if Gamora will rejoin her family to fight evil ever again. But it is possible that she simply trapped in the Soul Stone as she was necessary for Thanos to obtain it. She could be revived for Avengers 4 but still keep your fingers crossed.
GROOT
How dare they touch my tree. My tree did not deserve that. He should be alive by the end of Avengers 4 due to Guardians of the Galaxy 3 around the corner. Also I just want to see my tree grow.
THE VISION
My baby is dead. He did not deserve that right after he found love. The Mind Stone was ripped from his head killing him but there might be a chance of survival. This depends on how far Shuri got into removing the Mind Stone. If they somehow got the Mind Stone back to Vision that might bring Vision back to life. He probably has a 50/50 chance of being revived by the end of Avengers 4.
WHITE WOLF/WINTER SOLDIER/BUCKY BARNES
I’ve watched him die twice now. Give my boy a break. After the whole finger snap of doom we can assume that he is simply another soul trapped in the Soul Stone. Bucky has gone through a lot of changes and development through his time in the MCU and he should be safe for Avengers 4. Also I just want a Bucky movie Kevin Feige please just give it to us.
MANTIS
My sweet innocent girl just crumpled to ash. She should be alive by the end of Avengers 4 with Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in the works. She is also a very powerful character despite her timid personality. Would be a waste for Marvel to just throw away this character.
LOKI ODINSON
Now there’s lots of theories surrounding Loki’s death which you can find by just scrolling through the Loki tag on tumblr. I am currently in denial myself about his death because I love hime too much. The best possible outcome of this is that he is alive and he goes and leads what remains of Asgard and get a standalone Loki movie. Worst case scenario is that he remains dead forever and Thor is alone without a brother he just got back. Prepare yourself for both.
THE FALCON/SAM WILSON
He dead. Also probably trapped in the Soul Stone but should be alive by the end of Avengers 4. He should also be a part of the new Avengers team after the original ones die/exit.
MARIA HILL
She’s dead but should return by the end of Avengers 4 as she is another soul trapped in the Soul Stone. She should continue to be Nick Fury’s right hand.
BLACK PANTHER/T’CHALLA
How dare they kill my king. Right after we just fall in love with him in Black Panther. He should be alive by the end of Avengers 4 with a Black Panther sequel being discussed. Marvel also wouldn’t end T’Challa’s story after the immense success and impact of Black Panther because that would be the stupidest move made in Marvel history.
HEIMDALL
Poor Heimdall. Didn’t deserve that. Unfortunately I don’t see a return for his character into the MCU after being stabbed like that. You will be missed.
HAWKEYE/CLINT BARTON
Alive? We don’t know after the whole finger snap of doom but seeing as there are a lot of theories surrounding him for Avengers 4 we’ll presume that he is alive. We don’t know the how big of a role he will play in Avengers 4 so it will be hard to tell whether he will survive Avengers 4.
WONG
Alive? I don’t know but he should be as there was that cliffhanger in Doctor Strange and it just wouldn’t be complete without my boy listening to Beyoncé while kicking ass.
ANT MAN/SCOTT LANG
Alive? Don’t know because he wasn’t in the movie. Hopefully he wasn’t a victim of the finger snap of doom because that would suck. There’s also theories of his role in Avengers 4 which relies heavily on his use of the quantum realm. Look it up.
SHURI
Alive? Hopefully she wasn’t a victim of the finger snap of doom. She should have a bigger role in Avengers 4 especially if they plan on bringing Vision back. Hopefully she’ll be safe by the end of Avengers 4 especially with a sequel being discussed.
PEPPER POTTS
Alive? We don’t know if she’s a victim of the finger snap of doom. Hopefully she isn’t because we just her back and Tony would be devastated if she was dead.
Please tell me if I’ve missed anyone because I feel like I did with this gigantic cast.
well no wonder i like them so much, they too are emo as fuck. thank you spotify for this

Guardians of the galaxy volume 2 review!
A subjective review with personal opinions, minor minor spoilers - AMAZING MUSIC - Damn Chris Pratt was fabulous at every scene. The story really focused on his character’s back story and I was quite fine with that as that was expected from the last movie - Zoe Saldana was also flawless and I loved how Gamora had deeper story line with her sister, Nebula. It was interesting to hear their backstory little more and with Thanos mainly associated with it. Also I like her character more than I did in the last movie. The Starlord/Gamora dinamic was also nice too watch - As always, Drax was more of a comic relief and I hoped they make him stronger in the movie like in the comics to beat Thanos. He had great chemistry with Mantis too - I feel like Rocket had quite a lot of screen time and I really loved his action scenes and his gadgets. Really pointed out his character - Groot actually didn’t do much but WHO GIVES A FUCK HE’S FUCKING ADORABLE. Everytime he was on screen I couldn’t stop smiling. I also loved ho the other members parented him and took care of him with love - Mantis was so adorable and innocent baby with low self esteem and I’m looking forward to see her more in the next movie - I love Yondu SOOOOO much like, PETER BE GOOD WITH YOUR UNCLE/DADDY/CAPTAIN WHATEVER god he was fucking amazing in this movie - Kurt Russel was great as Ego, and I liked how they CGIed the Ego planet - There was a bit of a slow pacing scene in the middle - Also few jokes that you’d only get if you are familiar with 1980’s American culture like in the last movie, but it was bearable - I liked the overall story line - If you’re a comic book reader there were scenes that make you go HUH????? WHAT???? Also Easter eggs during and after the movie It was a 8/10 movie for me. Gags, angst, comedy, drama, romance, and fantasy were all in there and I’ll be looking forward for the next one!

So going back and watching all previous Guardians of the Galaxy media, I finally realized why Nebula looked so different in GotGv3 and I can’t believe I didn’t clock it immediately.
The hardware around her eye is gone. When she said Rocket had given her some upgrades she meant more than just her new arm. He gave her the opportunity to be more like her old self before the Thanos modifications. Removing that implant allows her to be more emotive and I think that’s beautiful.
I also noticed that when her limbs all snap back into place she doesn’t seem to experience the level of pain and discomfort she did before. I like to think that’s also thanks to Rocket’s upgrades. I love their relationship so much. 🥹
