Undisturbed shallow waters

It was like this about forever felt even longer calm and stillness in my mind. sky is blue but no sun shines.

Pictures on the surface of the waters reflecting the world thats outside. But nothing breaks through the mirror. Nothing reaches bottom. Theres no light.

Undisturbed shallow waters of mind with shores of grey grass climbing high. No worry, no love, only laughter gently caresing the surface in the night. When the stars are bright and falling throught the night throughtout the night

I could lay my self on the bottom, with my nose poking out. I could breath in deeply if only my lungs werent at fault.

Submerged almost whole there just waiting but nothing deep ever came, And for me that was fine thing always staying just the same. Thats insane. Oh man thats insane.

Undisturbed shallow waters of my mind waiting there for you to find. No tears, no joy only passion for a chance to just be kind. Please be kind. My friend. throught the night throughtout the night.

Suddenly I saw you on the banks there standing, smiling, enjoying the view. Suddenly you jumped down not aware of the sharp rocks poking through.

Oh I saw the ripples. I was scared. what if waves come crushing down. But I never realized you always cared. and everything came crushing down.

Shallow waters of my mind. thank you, oh man, I see light. The feels, the touch the opened doors. behind them things to fight. But I am alright. With you. Through the night. Throughtout the night.

Holding my breath I just stood there, with you excited by my side. listening to all the things that I share, That I was holding back with all my might.

Everyting I'll be, I am and I was leaving behind such a mess. ive never thought you'll be the cause that would finally break the surface. Standing there in embrace. And the warmth.

Shallow waters of my mind.

I am alone. With waves you created. Washing over my feet. I feel the mark that you have left And the waters rising. They're rising. Up my ankles. Up me knees. Up my chest. Pouring to the heart. My friend. To the hearth. It feels like nice new start.

The waters of my mind. Of my mind. The waters of my mind. Throught the day Throughout the day

In Loving Memory of Chris: The Bird on The Left

"... Our tree was the tallest and greatest as far as we could see or fly. Her branches stretched far and wide. Her leaves painted in greens that filled our hearts with joy. She was the only one that sang in the wind. And we sang with her. That was why we lived there and not anywhere else in the forest around. There were dozens of us nesting in her. In the holes in her trunk, in the places between her branches or in soft soil by her roots. She let us in and we took care of her. Her name was Igilda and Chris was her prince.

Chris, or Chorus-rhyming-I’m-singing if you will, lived in his nest at top of her. Every morning he greeted the first rays of sunshine with glorious song and every evening he sang them farewell. His voice was strong and proud, same as every inch of his body. He loved singing more than anything else. More than his family since there was none. More than his lovers since there were many... "

A Wrinkle in Space-Time: The Eclipse That “Proved” Einstein Right

One hundred years ago a total solar eclipse turned an obscure scientist into a household name. You might have heard of him — his name is Albert Einstein. But how did a solar eclipse propel him to fame?

First, it would be good to know a couple things about general relativity. (Wait, don’t go! We’ll keep this to the basics!)

A decade before he finished general relativity, Einstein published his special theory of relativity, which demonstrates how space and time are interwoven as a single structure he dubbed “space-time.” General relativity extended the foundation of special relativity to include gravity. Einstein realized that gravitational fields can be understood as bends and curves in space-time that affect the motions of objects including stars, planets — and even light.

For everyday situations the centuries-old description of gravity by Isaac Newton does just fine. However, general relativity must be accounted for when we study places with strong gravity, like black holes or neutron stars, or when we need very precise measurements, like pinpointing a position on Earth to within a few feet. That makes it hard to test!

A prediction of general relativity is that light passing by an object feels a slight “tug”, causing the light’s path to bend slightly. The more mass the object has, the more the light will be deflected. This sets up one of the tests that Einstein suggested — measuring how starlight bends around the Sun, the strongest source of gravity in our neighborhood. Starlight that passes near the edge of the Sun on its way to Earth is deflected, altering by a small amount where those stars appear to be. How much? By about the width of a dime if you saw it at a mile and a quarter away! But how can you observe faint stars near the brilliant Sun? During a total solar eclipse!

That’s where the May 29, 1919, total solar eclipse comes in. Two teams were dispatched to locations in the path of totality — the places on Earth where the Moon will appear to completely cover the face of the Sun during an eclipse. One team went to South America and another to Africa.

On eclipse day, the sky vexed both teams, with rain in Africa and clouds in South America. The teams had only mere minutes of totality during which to take their photographs, or they would lose the opportunity until the next total solar eclipse in 1921! However, the weather cleared at both sites long enough for the teams to take images of the stars during totality.

The teams took two sets of photographs of the same patch of sky – one set during the eclipse and another set a few months before or after, when the Sun was out of the way. By comparing these two sets of photographs, researchers could see if the apparent star positions changed as predicted by Einstein. This is shown with the effect exaggerated in the image above.

A few months after the eclipse, when the teams sorted out their measurements, the results demonstrated that general relativity correctly predicted the positions of the stars. Newspapers across the globe announced that the controversial theory was proven (even though that’s not quite how science works). It was this success that propelled Einstein into the public eye.

The solar eclipse wasn’t the first test of general relativity. For more than two centuries, astronomers had known that Mercury’s orbit was a little off. Its perihelion — the point during its orbit when it is closest to the Sun — was changing faster than Newton’s laws predicted. General relativity easily explains it, though, because Mercury is so close to the Sun that its orbit is affected by the Sun’s dent in space-time, causing the discrepancy.  

In fact, we still test general relativity today under different conditions and in different situations to see whether or not it holds up. So far, it has passed every test we’ve thrown at it.

Curious to know where we need general relativity to understand objects in space? Tune into our Tumblr tomorrow to find out!

The Opportunity to Rove on Mars! 🔴

Today, we’re expressing gratitude for the opportunity to rove on Mars (#ThanksOppy) as we mark the completion of a successful mission that exceeded our expectations.  

Our Opportunity Rover’s last communication with Earth was received on June 10, 2018, as a planet-wide dust storm blanketed the solar-powered rover’s location on the western rim of Perseverance Valley, eventually blocking out so much sunlight that the rover could no longer charge its batteries. Although the skies over Perseverance cleared, the rover did not respond to a final communication attempt on Feb. 12, 2019.

As the rover’s mission comes to an end, here are a few things to know about its opportunity to explore the Red Planet.

90 days turned into 15 years!

Opportunity launched on July 7, 2003 and landed on Mars on Jan. 24, 2004 for a planned mission of 90 Martian days, which is equivalent to 92.4 Earth days. While we did not expect the golf-cart-sized rover to survive through a Martian winter, Opportunity defied all odds as a 90-day mission turned into 15 years!

The Opportunity caught its own silhouette in this late-afternoon image taken in March 2014 by the rover’s rear hazard avoidance camera. This camera is mounted low on the rover and has a wide-angle lens.

Opportunity Set  Out-Of-This-World Records

Opportunity’s achievements, including confirmation water once flowed on Mars. Opportunity was, by far, the longest-lasting lander on Mars. Besides endurance, the six-wheeled rover set a roaming record of 28 miles.

This chart illustrates comparisons among the distances driven by various wheeled vehicles on the surface of Earth’s moon and Mars. Opportunity holds the off-Earth roving distance record after accruing 28.06 miles (45.16 kilometers) of driving on Mars.

It’s Just Like Having a Geologist on Mars

Opportunity was created to be the mechanical equivalent of a geologist walking from place to place on the Red Planet. Its mast-mounted cameras are 5 feet high and provided 360-degree two-eyed, human-like views of the terrain. The robotic arm moved like a human arm with an elbow and wrist, and can place instruments directly up against rock and soil targets of interest. The mechanical “hand” of the arm holds a microscopic camera that served the same purpose as a geologist’s handheld magnifying lens.

There’s Lots to See on Mars

After an airbag-protected landing craft settled onto the Red Planet’s surface and opened, Opportunity rolled out to take panoramic images. These images gave scientists the information they need to select promising geological targets that tell part of the story of water in Mars’ past. Since landing in 2004, Opportunity has captured more than 200,000 images. Take a look in this photo gallery.

From its perch high on a ridge, the Opportunity rover recorded this image on March 31, 2016 of a Martian dust devil twisting through the valley below. The view looks back at the rover’s tracks leading up the north-facing slope of “Knudsen Ridge,” which forms part of the southern edge of “Marathon Valley

There Was Once Water on Mars?!

Among the mission’s scientific goals was to search for and characterize a wide range of rocks and soils for clues to past water activity on Mars. In its time on the Red Planet, Opportunity discovered small spheres of the mineral hematite, which typically forms in water. In addition to these spheres that a scientist nicknamed “blueberries,” the rover also found signs of liquid water flowing across the surface in the past: brightly colored veins of the mineral gypsum in rocks, for instance, which indicated water flowing through underground fractures.

The small spheres on the Martian surface in this close-up image are near Fram Crater, visited by the Opportunity rover in April 2004.

Starwalk - an ukulele song pt. 2

You Motherfu.... Pluto!

.

So let me turn off the lights.

Let me turn off the music.

Let me lay you on the ground

and show you how to do it.

.

Cause we're taking a little spacewalk

around our little blue earth.

In deep darkness we'll get lost,

with stars we will flirt.

.

Yes we're off to a little spacewalk

and there is a chance.

That we'll see a shooting star

and on Milky way we'll dance.

[fuckeduplittletryhard]

Starwalk - an ukulele song pt. 1

This is not song about love

nor is it for people.

I just sing to myself

about things that aren't deeper,

.

Than talks about bad weather

or ass Lady Dee.

About how your knee's getting better,

Or my insecurity.

.

No, this is all about stars.

This is all about planets.

How I long for them hard

like for the next bottle of xanax.

.

Because I love Ursa Major how it shines from above.

How it never sets down like Geminies love.

How if you connect the two bright dots on its right end.

You get the North star and Ursas lesser friend.

I love the god Jupiter how he revolves through sky,

with all his moons, his lovers just passing by.

How we sent there a probe and with irony of life.

Named it after Juno - Jupiters lovely wife.

.

So let me turn off the lights,

let me turn down the music.

Let me lay on the ground

and don't listen to your shit.

.

Because I'm taking a little spacewalk

around our little blue earth.

In deep darkness I wanna get lost,

with stars I wanna flirt.

.

It's not about society,

nor about your mother.

nor fragile masculinity,

nor people of colour.

.

I just wanna sing about what I want,

like playing this instrument.

Like writing, fucking, swearing a lot.

Like stalking pretty girls on instagram.

.

But scratch that.

This is all about stars.

This is all about planets.

How they're connected with bars.

Miluju je, nemůžu si pomoct.

.

Because I love how Draco just sleeps between the two dippers.

How the reference in Dragon Hearth always leaves mě in shivers.

How he's just inches away and for all these years

is trying to finish up eating Hercules.

I love the Mars and his beautiful red light.

How we wanna go there, for it we scream and fight.

But I won't lie I'm the same and when my life begins to end.

I wanna go there, take a hike and be buried in his sand.

.

Now let me turn down the lights,

let me turn off the music.

Let me lay on the ground

and from whiskey glass sip.

.

Because I'm off to a little spacewalk

and there is a chance.

That I'll see a shooting star

and on Milky way I'll dance.

.

The song's not about marriage,

nor about having kids.

It's not about cutting people

down into little bits.

.

I don't believe in horoscopes,

the effect they have on me.

Because one said that tomorrow

I'll meet my destiny.

.

But fuck that

This is all about stars.

This is all about planets.

Those bright little shards

On big black canvas.

.

Because I love how Pegasus shares a star with Andromeda.

I love the Perseus underneath Casiopea.

I love how you could confuse Saturn with almost anything.

I love how Mercury will be gone if you blink.

I love the dolphin, I love Venus.

I love morphin, I love Uranus.

If you know what I mean.

And I love the moon. I love the sun.

I love Neptune. I love Pluto.

Yes cause Pluto for me is still a planet and nothing you could say can change my mind. You go Pluto, I believe in you. You Motherfu.... Pluto.

Dru Hetrick

Among other projects, I am currently working on a series called “American Colors” that works to examine colorful post-industrial decay on the fringes of big American cities. Through these images, I have been working to study the resilience, degradation, and nostalgia of areas that were once beacons of commercialism. I have also been using square format 120mm film and instant film to capture the beauty of daily life in my “Snapshots” series, as well as helping bands & musicians with promotional shoots for press, album covers, etc. I am constantly searching for patterns in my photography in hopes to refine and establish a perceived style, but I believe my work thus far has chiefly proved a willingness to experiment and see beauty in daily experience.

Dru Hetrick is an analog photographer originally from NYC but currently based in Boston, MA.

“You can’t be funny without being offensive!”

Um

“Functional, healthy family relationships can’t be funny! Only dysfunctional relationships where the family members despise each other can be hilarious!” 

UM

“Everything has to be edgy and dark and violent and push the line to be good!” 

If you genuinely believe that, then you’re not trying hard enough.

Representation matters! We’re going to see so many great new comedies with amazing representation in the next ten years because these shows did it, and people learned from them and were inspired by them.
