I'm hoping that posting this into the void will somehow increase the chances of this happening

I wish for an Arcanum remake or sequel

Good morning Bluesky !

As the name implies, this reflection nebula associated with the star Rigel looks suspiciously like a fairytale crone. Formally known as IC 2118 in the constellation Orion, the Witch Head Nebula glows primarily by light reflected from the star. The color of this very blue nebula is caused not only by blue color of its star, but also because the dust grains reflect blue light more efficiently than red. A similar physical process causes Earth's daytime sky to appear blue.

A composite image of a pulsar wind nebula which strongly resembles a ghostly purple hand with sparkling fingertips, set against a black, starry backdrop. X-ray observations by Chandra and IXPE reveal that the shape of this pulsar wind nebula strongly resembles a human hand, including five fingers, a palm and wrist. The bright white spot near the base of the palm is the pulsar itself. The three longest fingertips of the hand-shape point toward our upper right, or 1:00 on a clock face. There, a small, mottled, orange and yellow cloud appears to sparkle or glow like embers. This orange cloud is part of the remains of the supernova explosion that created the pulsar. The backdrop of stars was captured in infrared light. Credits: X-ray: NASA/CXC/Stanford Univ./R. Romani et al.

A nebula appearing like a “face” with two “eyes” visible in the center.

Active regions on the sun combined to look something like a jack-o-lantern’s face. The active regions in this image appear brighter because those are areas that emit more light and energy. They are markers of an intense and complex set of magnetic fields hovering in the sun’s atmosphere, the corona. Caption credit: NASA

You know, you see images like this and sometimes it's easy to forget just how incredible it is that we can observe these objects at all. Like, that shit is UNFATHOMABLY far away. And we get to see it. And it's also UNFATHOMABLY huge, and yet looks so tiny. The universe is incredible

Ps I'm stoned

You're supporting the right wing violence, so

Fuck you
Fuck ICE
Fuck Trump

Cry about it 🙂

Lmao this is nothing compared to what some republican officials tweet. Stop the fake pearl clutching😂

I thought you were a literal onion person, unfollowed

☀️

You'd have +1 view from me

Dang you sure know how to "own da libs"

The whole premise of the Biden administration after the chaos of Trump 1.0 was that Biden would be boring and we could move on with our lives. Well, I guess (the collective) we got bored with basic, competent governance after 4 years.

I think about this exact screenshot a lot.
