Intro Post :)

Welcome!! I'm Pie, the astronaut obsessed, slightly deranged, space loving tumblr user who runs this disaster of a blog!

Your local Jim Lovell advocate & Apollo 8 lover ☾⋆｡𖦹☄︎°✩𝜗ৎﾟ☁︎⋆.˚ ☾⭒.☄︎༘⋆☾⋆｡𖦹☄︎°✩𝜗ৎﾟ☁︎⋆.˚

I finally broke down and made a blog after years of screenshots on Pinterest, purely so I could scream into the void about Apollo era nasa.

My askbox is always open. I may be incredibly slow to respond but I'm always up to being bothered with questions and statements <3

Now that I'm here, I'll probably end up posting about my other interests too– namely Phineas and Ferb, Milo Murphy's Law, Hamster and Gretel, animals/rescues/conservation, music (Laufey, 80s-00s country, 60s/70s classics), sewing, fashion, and whatever other interests my adhd guides me to ♡

I also have a blog dedicated to Space Quotes: @astronaut-quotes-daily

Did you feel the recent earthquake at around 2:00PM EDT in the Florida/Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean area? You can report it to the USGS using their Felt Report! Provide a little information on your location and what the earthquake felt like to you, and you can play an important role in understanding the world around us. Even if it was just a shaking of the walls or a vibration under your feet, any information is helpful!

THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE THAT COULD BE FELT IN FLORIDA?!?!?!?!??!!?

I've been thinking lately that I want to participate in more Citizen Science projects. I've used ebird for awhile, but it's a goal of mine this summer to use it more consistently/submit more detailed reports.

I was wondering though–does anyone have recommendations for other Citizen Science projects to participate in?? Ideally I'd be interested in one's related to animals/conservation, but any that yall recommend would be greatly appreciated!! I'd love to find new projects!!!

[apollomission8]

Alright I think I've mostly caught up on my dash!!! It's like 2:30am, so I'm gonna go to bed now–but there will be more Cape posting tomorrow!!

If anyone's feeling sad today, here's a newly discovered species of octopus. Found in the waters off the Galapagos Islands, this little critter can fit in the palm of your hand.

Strange new species of blue octopus discovered by scientists 5,900 feet underwater: "It's beautiful"

The new species, named Microeledone galapagensis, has a blue hue, which is believed to be the rarest color in nature.

The new species, named Microeledone galapagensis, stands out for reasons other than its blue hue, which is believed to be the rarest color in nature. The octopus appears to be the runt of the Megaleledonidae family, whose members are normally much larger and live in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. "Its stubby little arms with only one row of suckers set it apart from most octopus we are familiar with," Voight said. Even among "other species with short little arms and a single sucker row, its coloration and smooth skin on the back surface separate it," she added. While the octopus is light blue on its back, underneath it is a "very deep purple," Voight said. "We think this color pattern helps keep it safe. If the octopus grabs a prey item that emits light, that light may attract predators that might then eat the octopus," she explained. "So the octopus puts its dark-colored web over the prey item, keeping itself safe."

The etymology of the word Odyssey is great imagine if we described time travel as Going Billandted

so last year during a period of intense suicidal depression i made this necklace that i always wear, right, and the thing is it's genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and relief and i've developed a strong sentimental attachment to it, to the point that i can inarguably state that it's had a net positive effect on my mental wellbeing. however i did now just have to stop to almost throw up laughing because i realised that i've succumbed to the amulet.

I actually do genuinely love when people make sincere angst art of children's shows. The depth people create in the things they carry close to their heart always inspires me. Like yknow what? What if it WAS that deep. And even deeper. Take my hand. Let me explore this topic with you
