New Post on The Librarian's Desk! I finally read Paladin's Grace and.....AAAAAHHHHH I LOVE THEM.

If you like: - sad knights - soft romance - men built like walking fortresses that smell like gingerbread I think you'll love Paladin's Grace!

From top to bottom: Webb’s First Deep Field, the Southern Ring Nebula (NIRCam and MIRI Images Side by Side), Stephan’s Quintet, and the “Cosmic Cliffs” in the Carina Nebula.

It makes me feel incredibly small and incredibly powerful at the same time. As a whole, we’re just a speck of a speck of a speck in a drop of the vast ocean that is the infinite cosmos. And yet, even with that sobering realization, it’s also incredible to think that humanity, small as we may be, pulled off such an incredible feat with Webb. And that part makes me feel a little less insignificant. Like I’m part of something bigger, even if we’re all collectively just a tiny part of the universe and the secrets it holds.

Though you and I may not have had anything to do first-hand with the success of Webb, it was us, humans, who did it. And that counts for something.

What an incredible, wonderful, powerful day today has been.
