you don’t have to take on an identity in order to stop participating in the tedium and body punishment of patriarchal femininity. you don’t need an excuse, you don’t need to explain, and you don’t need anyone’s permission. its your birthright that was hidden from you your whole life. you can reach out and take it if you desire it.
COMET
Made of ice, rock and dust.
They originate outside our solar system
HUGE. like miles wide. Big boys.
They orbit the sun.
They have that tail thingy.
METEOROID
Small. Like could be a grain of sand
Rocky or metal
They originate from comets or asteroids aka they are the bits that fall off
They orbit the sun
Can fall to earth but then they are called a meteor (if they vaporize in the atmosphere) or a meteorite (if they hit earth)
ASTEROID
Also made of rock or metal
Are larger than a meteoroid and historically if an object is larger than 10 meters across, they are called an asteroid
Also orbit the sun because the sun is so damn popular but they are generally between Mars and Jupiter
Just under 50 million light years from Earth, this spiral galaxy in the constellation of Aries appears as if it’s on fire, and in many respects, it is, with star birth.
The huge amount of gas and dust that is creating this starburst may have come from a recent merger with a gas rich dwarf galaxy, which would also explain the lack of definition of spiral arms.
Standard theory holds that spiral galaxies generally have arms that trail behind the spin of the galaxy, rather like a Catherine wheel firework.
Then there is NGC 4622 which doesn’t, with arms that seem to lead rather than trail the spiral rotation.
Modelling suggests it’s most likely the outcome of an impact, but still remains a matter of conjecture and interest by astronomers.
The galaxy is located in the Southern Sky, in the constellation of Centauri and is 111 million light years from us.
