Semester day one in the books. Met my accounting professor and my creative writing professor. This spring is shaping up to be interesting.

M44: The Beehive Cluster : A mere 600 light-years away, M44 is one of the closest star clusters to our solar system. Also known as the Praesepe or the Beehive cluster its stars are young though, about 600 million years old compared to our Sun’s 4.5 billion years. Based on similar ages and motion through space, M44 and the even closer Hyades star cluster in Taurus are thought to have been born together in the same large molecular cloud. An open cluster spanning some 15 light-years, M44 holds 1,000 stars or so and covers about 3 full moons (1.5 degrees) on the sky in the constellation Cancer. Visible to the unaided eye, M44 has been recognized since antiquity. Described as a faint cloud or celestial mist long before being included as the 44th entry in Charles Messier’s 18th century catalog, the cluster was not resolved into its individual stars until telescopes were available. A popular target for modern, binocular-equipped sky gazers, the cluster’s few yellowish tinted, cool, red giants are scattered through the field of its brighter hot blue main sequence stars in this telescopic group snapshot. Dramatic diffraction spikes highlighting the brighter cluster members were created with string crossed in front of the telescope’s objective lens. via NASA

i finally finished one of my assignments!!! i’m so tired but so so relieved right now!!! i was supposed to evaluate and classify an english book’s (internationally used) writing activities and the book had 12 units, each of them consisting 4 parts. i classified all the reading activities i found, then evaluated how the book handles reading. i have one assignment left, and three exams to take this tuesday and study for. oh, and i also went to a cafe on my own to study, which i’m proud of because it used to give me so much anxiety but now i can just chill on my own!:]

Looking forward to a full day off to visit coffee shops to study 📖📑

p.s. because i always forget to post on the day i study, i’ll probably post twice today to break that cycle.
