NASA just dropped the closest image ever taken of Jupiter.

i got accepted into the research internship i applied to!!! 🥳 i guess my interview wasn't that bad after all lol

writing emails at midnight to 850 recipients will never go wrong, right?

In this video, take a flight through millions of galaxies mapped using coordinate data from DESI.

i made this post a while ago and omg its even worse than i thought. i'm working on some electrostatics problem sets rn. how are you going to have v for velocity, V for electric potential, V for the volts unit, V for volume, U for potential energy, u for energy density, v (or i guess nu) for neutrinos, v for frequency???? they all look the same...

don't even get me started on k

why are there so many variables in physics? it’s like reading a whole new language and i’m dying here 😭

06/05/25 day 28/30

(4 hrs 26 mins on YPT)

Well the time doesn't actually matter because I studied for two and a half hours at most and after that I got busy with something else and forgot about the timer eeh- (human error -forgive me) Anyways I did maths (inverse trigonometry) and made notes for physics (electric charges).

Zoe // 16 // she/her/hers // INTJ

Currently studying physics, chemistry, computer science, calculus, photography. Topics in physics I’m learning about are E&M, thermodynamics, relativity, standard model, cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and fluids.

I’m interested in dark matter and CMB research. My academic goals right now are mostly focused on getting into university with a major in physics. I want to get a PhD in either physics or astrophysics and work in academia doing cosmology research.

Other fun facts: I play golf and am training in calisthenics. I really like listening to music and I have a really cute cat (he’s a little chunky tho). My favorite show is Voltron Legendary Defender, and my favorite movie is a tie between Oppenheimer and The Social Network.

dear me,

thank you for not giving up on me! ♡

love, me.

Star Trails taken by Rob on February 24 2024

Star trails are photographs taken over long exposures, where the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to appear as arcs in the sky instead of points. The Earth rotates around its axis every 23 hours and 56 minutes.

Typically, star trails are focused on Polaris in the northern hemisphere, but I found this photo unique because it opted for a different composition. It also really highlights how dense the sky is with stars.

It begs the question, why isn't the sky infinitely bright with infinite stars? This is actually the observation that helped cosmologists find theories for the age of the universe. For a young universe, not enough time has passed for the light from incredibly distant stars to reach us, leading to the dark sky we see when we look up at night.
