This is part of why art that depicts the female experience is so important because on one hand for women and girls it allows us to go ‘oh I have that experience too’ and those that aren’t in our bodies can look at it and go 'wait, that happens to you?’ // Brie Larson for Yahoo

Explanation: Massive star IRS 4 is beginning to spread its wings. Born only about 100,000 years ago, material streaming out from this newborn star has formed the nebula dubbed Sharpless 2-106 Nebula (S106), featured here. A large disk of dust and gas orbiting Infrared Source 4 (IRS 4), visible in brown near the image center, gives the nebula an hourglass or butterfly shape. S106 gas near IRS 4 acts as an emission nebula as it emits light after being ionized, while dust far from IRS 4 reflects light from the central star and so acts as a reflection nebula. Detailed inspection of a relevant infrared image of S106 reveal hundreds of low-mass brown dwarf stars lurking in the nebula’s gas. S106 spans about 2 light-years and lies about 2000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus).

I love how Mackenzie Davis is incapable of playing a Straight

I mean, consider:

Halt and Catch Fire: 90s grunge gay/disaster lesbian. Bad posture, all clothes have holes. Donna is long-suffering wife. Series ends with them driving off into the sunset.

San Junipero: 80s nerd gay. Again literally drives off into the sunset with wife

Tully: Appears out of nowhere like a faerie godmother to have a threesome with Charlize Theron. #goals

Terminator Dark Fate: Buff butch with arms for days and a haircut I haven’t seen since Angelina Jolie in Foxfire. At one point Sarah Connor calls her “daddy,” and I’d just like to state that for the record.

Happiest Season: Up next? Joining the gayest cast ever to play Kristen Stewart’s girlfriend.

I love this trend. That is all.

How Big is Our Galaxy, the Milky Way?

When we talk about the enormity of the cosmos, it’s easy to toss out big numbers – but far harder to wrap our minds around just how large, how far and how numerous celestial bodies like exoplanets – planets beyond our solar system – really are.

So. How big is our Milky Way Galaxy?

We use light-time to measure the vast distances of space.

It’s the distance that light travels in a specific period of time. Also: LIGHT IS FAST, nothing travels faster than light.

How far can light travel in one second? 186,000 miles. It might look even faster in metric: 300,000 kilometers in one second. See? FAST.

How far can light travel in one minute? 11,160,000 miles. We’re moving now! Light could go around the Earth a bit more than 448 times in one minute.

Speaking of Earth, how long does it take light from the Sun to reach our planet? 8.3 minutes. (It takes 43.2 minutes for sunlight to reach Jupiter, about 484 million miles away.) Light is fast, but the distances are VAST.

In an hour, light can travel 671 million miles. We’re still light-years from the nearest exoplanet, by the way. Proxima Centauri b is 4.2 light-years away. So… how far is a light-year? 5.8 TRILLION MILES.

A trip at light speed to the very edge of our solar system – the farthest reaches of the Oort Cloud, a collection of dormant comets way, WAY out there – would take about 1.87 years.

Our galaxy contains 100 to 400 billion stars and is about 100,000 light-years across!

One of the most distant exoplanets known to us in the Milky Way is Kepler-443b. Traveling at light speed, it would take 3,000 years to get there. Or 28 billion years, going 60 mph. So, you know, far.

SPACE IS BIG.

All right, so I believe that as chemist is my obligation to warn y'all about using homemade hand sanitizer or shit like that. So please just buy a bottle and if you can't, wash your hands always that possible. Take care 'cause alcohol-based hand sanitizers are flammable, so you know...

I'm saying this because here in Brazil there's some dick heads selling homemade hand sanitizers and uninformed people are buying it. Besides not disinfecting their hands properly, many are suffering burns due to the composition.

Anyway, stay home be safe and drink water.
