I’m going to post a bunch of beautiful things that I saw in europe. Not pictures I took necessarily (except this one, which is the Astrological Clock in Prague) but mostly art that I couldn’t photograph for whatever reason. Just so I remember it and keep loving it.

Imperial Russian Gold Watch. Awarded to a Naval Captain for 15yrs of service by Tsar Nicholas II.

If anyone wants to get this for me as a nearly-year-in-advance birthday present, that’d be pretty awesome. Ebay, you make me sad sometimes.

For the next few weeks, if you get up in the morning, you’ll be able to see all the planets bar Saturn arrayed along the ecliptic.

cosmosscience:

In 1572, people on Earth saw the bright light of a supernova. Now, by combining different intensities of x-ray data, scientists using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have created a new image of the debris left from that explosion, which hints at the origins of the cosmic blast.

Known as Tycho’s supernova remnant, the space puffball includes a cloud of expanding debris (yellow) enveloped by a high-energy blast wave (blue). The latest image also shows an arc of high-energy x-rays (bottom left) that seems to be coming from a faster moving ball of material.

Astronomers think that the supernova happened when a white dwarf star siphoned so much material from a companion star that it exploded. The blast blew material off the sunlike companion, and that debris is now emitting the arc of x-rays.
