.......NASA has a tumblr? oh boy

“we are all made of starstuff” is a pretty beautiful sentiment, so it’s a shame carl sagan didn’t live to see the discovery that the world’s most precious metals are made when the hearts of stars collide. he would have so much to say these days.

for real

having every social media app muted is true mental calmness. i just find out whats going on when i enter each respective site i like that bit of surprises

one thing I really appreciate about rtd era doctor who is just how NORMAL the sets often look:

there have been at least three separate people I’ve known whose bedrooms had this vibe: the incredible clashing between different shades of pink, the dark carpet, the messiness, the poor lighting filtering through that dark curtain—I know how it feels being in this room.

I painted my room this exact color in 2008/2009. martha’s organized, but she’s a student and it’s a cramped space—she arranges her shelves the best she can, but her stuff is just stuff and doesn’t perfectly match. when I’m at school I have to dry my laundry in the middle of my room exactly the same way!

yup, that’s what every break room I’ve ever had at work looks like, with the mismatched tupperware and posters and questionably-clean microwave.

sylvia’s house is obviously intended to be coordinated, but with a nonprofessional’s taste. you can see the little pumpkins in the background from halloween, there’s a printed tablecloth at the table, the counters are that realistic mix of cluttered and clean. 

even in a fancy office, we’ve got the ugly fluorescent lighting that’s not really doing anyone favors, the crooked potted plants, the sporadic beige and white walls, the random workplace posters above the printer and trash cans.

people sitting in weird places because there aren’t enough seats around the tv! the cat tower with kitty litter shoved in the corner! the overstuffed table! the slightly-crooked picture frames! this IS the vibe of being stuffed into a too-small room with company over.

I don’t know, I just love how they unapologetically show the messiness of normal life on camera?? I feel like the unglamorous-ness of it grounds the show so much?! it’s just so much fun watching a bunch of fantastical sci-fi things play out against mundane settings I see every day.

What Are The Hottest Stars In The Universe?

"The highest stellar temperatures, however, are achieved by Wolf-Rayet stars. Destined for cataclysmic supernovae, Wolf-Rayet stars are fusing the heaviest elements. They’re highly evolved, luminous, and surrounded by ejecta. The hottest one measures ~210,000 K; the hottest known star."

If you took as much mass as you could to build the most massive star you could, you'd cap out at about 50,000 K. If you let the core contract and heat up, the outer layers get blown out to greater distances, causing the overall temperature to drop. But somehow, there are three ways to beat that temperature limit, and there are three classes of stars that do it.

So who gets the hottest, and why? Is it white dwarfs, Wolf-Rayet stars, or neutron stars? Come find out the answer today!
