An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.
Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t
I had no idea this was happening. Where are we going?
To fuck some shit up

What the city is missing: Thierry Cohen photographs cityscapes and then photographs deserts at night, combing the two to show us what our cities would look like with the lights off. The stars are not enhanced, they are actual photos from relative latitudes that would expose the same starry sky view if it weren’t for light pollution. Click on each photo to see which city it is.
This fungi was found on the way to some waterfalls way out the back of Crabtree, Tasmania. I will never return to these falls due to the infestation of leeches. If I hadn’t of snagged this photo it would rate as one of the toughest days spent outdoors I’ve experienced. We managed to travel less than 1km in 3 hours.

Telescopes at the Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tuscon, Arizona, captured this image of Nebula Sh2-239 using blue, green, orange, and red filters.
Released this week, the image shows a region of the Taurus molecular cloud—about 450 light-years away from Earth. The nebula is full of stars in various stages of formation, from very new to old and established.
