The mid semester break has started! But I still decided to do some light studying today. It felt weird to suddenly have nothing to do all day. I’d rather spread out my studying so I don’t have to cram as much for the midsem tests. Here I’m doing more math, we’re onto systems of linear equations now :) Getting the hang of it slowly

My posts may decrease in frequency, I'm entering the 3 weeks before exams period, and god I hate it. It's so hectic, all assignments and lab reports and projects creeping up all the while we have no time to even breathe. And then we're expected to study for the exams alongside it.
Anyways, enjoy these pretty purple flowers on my way to the library, at least they make my day a little brighter
I don’t ever want to become like them. I’ll have to be careful. Besides, no one’s allowed to take youth away from young people. No one is.
Stephan s Quintet : The first identified compact galaxy group, Stephan’s Quintet is featured in this eye-catching image constructed with data drawn from the extensive Hubble Legacy Archive. About 300 million light-years away, only four of these five galaxies are actually locked in a cosmic dance of repeated close encounters. The odd man out is easy to spot, though. The interacting galaxies, NGC 7319, 7318A, 7318B, and 7317 have an overall yellowish cast. They also tend to have distorted loops and tails, grown under the influence of disruptive gravitational tides. But the predominantly bluish galaxy, NGC 7320, is closer, just 40 million light-years distant, and isn’t part of the interacting group. Stephan’s Quintet lies within the boundaries of the high flying constellation Pegasus. At the estimated distance of the quartet of interacting galaxies, this field of view spans about 500,000 light-years. But moving just beyond this field, up and to the right, astronomers can identify another galaxy, NGC 7320C, that is also 300 million light-years distant. Including it would bring the interacting quartet back up to quintet status. via NASA
Geminds of the South : Fireflies flash along a moonlit countryside in this scene taken on the night of December 13/14 from southern Uruguay, planet Earth. On that night meteors fell in the partly cloudy skies above during the annual Geminid meteor shower. Frames recorded over a period of 1.5 hours are aligned in the composite image made with the camera facing south. That direction was opposite the shower’s radiant toward the north and so the Geminid meteor streaks appear to converge at an antiradiant below the southern horizon. The shower’s apparent radiant (and antiradiant) is just due to perspective though. As Earth sweeps through the dust trail of mysterious asteroid 3200 Phaethon, the dust grains that create the Geminid shower meteors are really moving along parallel tracks. They enter Earth’s atmosphere traveling at about 22 kilometers per second. via NASA
The Comet and the Fireball : This picture was supposed to feature a comet. Specifically, a series of images of the brightest comet of 2021 were being captured: Comet Leonard. But the universe had other plans. Within a fraction of a second, a meteor so bright it could be called a fireball streaked through just below the comet. And the meteor’s flash was even more green than the comet’s coma. The cause of the meteor’s green was likely magnesium evaporating from the meteor’s pebble-sized core, while the cause of the comet’s green was likely diatomic carbon recently ejected from the comet’s city-sized nucleus. The images were taken 10 days ago over the Sacramento River and Mt. Lassen in California, USA. The fireball was on the leading edge of this year’s Geminid Meteor Shower – which peaked a few days later. Comet Leonard is now fading after reaching naked-eye visibility last week – but now is moving into southern skies. via NASA
“Do you see that, Ichigo?” “Yeah…” Ichigo and Rukia–SHE’S SO DAMN small next to him got'damn. I love these two goobs. Also posted to my twitter under the same handle!
this video is so well done it deserves an oscar
IN A ROW?
oh my god the lipsync on this is so good
[Mako: You sucked that guys dick? Korra: Yeah…how do you think I knew that he… Mako: wait, but you said that you only had sex with three different guys! You never mentioned him! Korra: Because I never HAD sex with him! Mako: You sucked his dick! – Mako: What?! Something like 36? Korra: Lower your voice… Mako: Wait, what is that anyways, something like 36? Does that include me? Korra: ….You’re 37 Mako: I’m 37?! Korra: I’m going to class! Mako: uhh, my god! – Mako: 37! My girlfriend’s sucked 37 dicks! Bolin: In a row?]
