14.01.2021 — looking forward to the next semester! i’ve signed up for cs1 and although i have some cs experience outside of school, i’ve never taken an actual cs class before so i’m curious how it’ll go.
It’s reptile hours
This is the Rosette Nebula! 🌹🌹🌹
This is definitely the best image I have taken of this giant molecular cloud! This nebula is a star forming region with hot, blue newborn stars at its center that is shaping this region to form a beautiful flower-like shape. As seen from Earth, this nebula appears almost 5 times larger than the full Moon! ✨✨✨

This is the Whale Galaxy! 🐳🐳🐳
This galaxy’s strange shape comes from interactions with a smaller dwarf galaxy seen above it. This has resulted in high numbers of supernovae from rapid star formation blow wind and dust out of the galaxy in a “superwind”! ✨✨✨

To celebrate, here is a collage of some of my best pictures that I have uploaded on this blog ♥ I cannot believe we just hit 10,000 followers WOWOOWWOW

This is the Gabriela Mistral Nebula! 💫💫💫
Gabriela Mistral is a Chilean poet who was the first Latin American author to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. This nebula has her name because some believe that it resembles her (I honestly don’t know why 😂). Millions of years ago, a deposit of gas resulted in a surge of star formation that heats up and radiates this region today! ✨✨✨

This is the Pelican Nebula! 🦢🦢🦢
The molecular cloud of dark dust on the left of this image separates this nebula from the nearby North America Nebula. This nebula is quickly changing as newborn, hot stars ionize the gas and push it around, leading to its expansion! 💖💖💖

Note-taking is one of the most essential skills a student should master. It allows you to record and review information to be used in the future. But what’s the best way to do so? Here’s an overview of note-taking styles that can help you maximize your learning!

This is the Lobster Nebula! 🦞🦞🦞
Despite this creative name, there were multiple petitions to change this nebula’s name to the Madokami Nebula (named after a character in the anime Madoka Magica) and the War and Peace Nebula (named after its resemblance to a skull and dove). The core of the nebula is the Pismis-24 cluster containing very massive stars up to 100 solar masses each! ✨✨✨
