The Galaxy

About Me: I am utterly fascinated by outer space, and I have the habit of getting a little too philosophical in my thinking when I take a shower or go outside at night. Video games are also a thing that I'm in love with. You've been warned.

“I know Reddit has been interested in Finland’s Maternity Box, the box every pregnant woman in Finland gets. Mine came today, so I thought I’d show you what I got.

There’s a cloth diaper, and a towel, but the rest is almost all clothing in various styles and forms, all gender-neutral. The bottom of the box is also a mattress, so the baby is able to use it as a bed at the beginning of her life. All of the clothes are very high quality, and a good chunk of what came in the box was made in Finland or by Finnish companies.”

WOW!!

This computer-simulated image shows a supermassive black hole at the core of a galaxy. The black region in the center represents the black hole’s event horizon, where no light can escape the massive object’s gravitational grip. The black hole’s powerful gravity distorts space around it like a funhouse mirror. Light from background stars is stretched and smeared as the stars skim by the black hole.
