Four nights a year, the streets of Manhattan’s grid become the site for a spectacular sunset phenomenon known as “Manhattanhenge.” As Director of the Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson, who discovered the phenomenon and coined the term “Manhattanhenge,” explains in his Hayden Planetarium blog, Manhattanhenge takes place “when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan’s brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough’s grid. A rare and beautiful sight.” 

View Manhattanhenge tonight at 8:17 pm and tomorrow at 8:16 pm. Reply to this post with your photo of the phenomenon for a chance to win 2 tickets to our Manhattanhenge program on July 11.

My dad was sitting beside me on the computer and saw this folder

He asked me if it was a folder filled with ‘erotic fanfiction about homosexuals’

I then proceeded to show him what was in it　

He then walked away muttering something about me being pretentious

this is my brother two years ago. we were at the park, just me and him, and he turned to me and said “kayla, don’t you ever wish there were no bad people in the world?” i thought it to be a funny thing for a 5 year old to say, but shrugged it off. last year, he didnt come home from school, we thought that being only in grade prep, he might’ve decided to go home with his bestfriend without telling us, but he didn’t.  the school confirmed they saw him get on his school bus after the bell rang. but thats all we knew, the bus driver said that he had gotten off a stop early, my mother was frantically searching the neighbourhood for him. we never found him. it’s been two years and we’re still looking for him, he was such a beautiful boy, and i cant help but think the worst. he could be anywhere in the world by now, so please, reblog this, no matter where you’re from, you could save a life. xx

if you dont reblog this i have no respect for you. help save a child’s life.

this literally breaks my heart

this relates to my blog in 0 ways. but how can i not reblog this. you have to be one heartless person to not reblog this.

I really hope he is found.

How interesting.

Wellll. Inspiration takes many forms for me, but I’d have to say the biggest ones are/were J.R.R. Tolkien’s works, 9, and music. The former two come in very handy in terms of fanfiction, which is still mostly what I write, though 9 has influenced a few original works as well. Music is just all-around great for sending my thoughts in the direction I want them to go. <3

Thanks, Eva!

The Galaxy Evolution

1. Rainbow of Galaxies

This image of the Cartwheel galaxy shows multi-wavelength observations from several NASA missions, including the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, whose data is seen in blue. The Hubble Space Telescope is in green, the Spitzer Space Telescope is in red and the Chandra X-ray Observatory is in purple.

2. Jellyfish Galaxy

Wispy tendrils of hot dust and gas glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Cygnus Loop nebula.

3. Plowing Through the Depths of Space

GALEX captured a second runaway star, similar to Mira, also speeding through the cosmos.

4. Dissecting a Galaxy

By combining ultraviolet data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer with infrared observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers get a clearer picture of the various components of a galaxy.
