To all those looking to the stars, believe in yourself – we do. ❤️ ⁣ ⁣ From auto mechanic to geologist - everyone's story is different. Our NASA astronauts come from all walks of life, with backgrounds as unique as the individuals themselves. ⁣ ⁣ Get to know their stories and even apply to #BeAnAstronaut, HERE.

Rainbow Roulette Info

I also want to give a reminder that all designs, regardless of the month in which they were made or adopted, are eligible for every Rainbow Roulette drawing until they’ve been colored! You just have to send in an ask to get them entered.

1. Whumpee being found by whumper after a being apart, whether it's for a couple of minutes as the whumper catches up to a failed escape attempt or being apart for years, a reunion where the whumpee just /knows/ it's not going to end well for them is an 11/10 2. "Gotcha" moments in dialogue. There's just something so satisfying when a character catches the other one off guard with information they shouldn't have. 3. Worldbuilding. I have 11 Nations with fleshed out rulers and history and close to no writing in said world, so it's easy to see which part if my favourite. 4. Songs that inspire writing or characters, "Soldier, Poet, King" and "Where is your Rider?" by The Oh Hellos are great for getting the cogs turning. 5. Not completely writing-related, but colourful notes! Different colours of ink, post-it notes, and the such. My world notes look more like a scrapbook than anything if I'm honest.

Black holes are so fucking cool. Fuck it, space is so fucking cool.

Today in astronomy class we learned about time dilation and the curvature of space and dude that shit is so interesting.

Did you know that the closer you get to moving at light speed, the slower time moves around you? How flippin awesome is that. It doesn’t even make any fucking sense! Earth logic only applies to Earth and it’s so stupidly cool to see an application of that concept.

Space curves. Woah, I know, that’s crazy. But matter displaces space, makes it curve around that matter. I can’t even conceptionalise this on a three dimensional scale! The only example I could possibly give is using a flat surface.

Basically, picture a trampoline. When there’s nothing on it, it’s flat. When you put something on it’s surface, that object sinks into it, displaces the space of the trampoline. Confused yet? Great! Here’s a picture:

How ridiculously cool is that? And did you know that gravity effects light? Crazy, right?!

God this stuff is so freaking cool, please excuse the educational rant post I’m just so excited.

Tldr; space is cool and if anyone would like to teach me about the curvature of space on a three dimensional scale, hit me up because I have no fucking clue how that works!
