Moved by the voices of everyone who dared to go on this journey together ,

They found light in one another.

For they were never meant to come back ,

And so they kept moving forward ,

Leaving behind one single message :

"We love you ."

Hi, my name is James Webbony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Space Telescope and I am a telescope in space (that's how I got my name) and I have a five-layer aluminum-coated Kapton sunshield protecting my instruments and gold-coated hexagonal primary mirror segments like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Lady Gaga (AN: if you don't know who she is, get the hell out of here!). I'm not related to the Hubble Space Telescope, but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm an infrared telescope but I am much larger than Spitzer. I have 18 primary mirror segments. I also study exoplanets, and I go to a telescope school in L2 where I'm in orbit (I was launched in 2021). I can see distant galaxies (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly gold. I love space, and I take all my photos there. For example, today I was taking a photo of the Cartwheel Galaxy, which is about 500 million light years away. I was using my NIRcam, NIRspec, MIRI, and FGS-NIRISS. I was walking outside L2. It was around 1 million miles away from Earth and there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I unfolded my primary mirrors at them.

Adding important info to this post ^^

[dodecalemma]

These outfits costs that much because they are handmade extremely intricate extremely time intensive wearable art. I think it’s awesome that these designers (read: artists) get this opportunity to be paid appropriately to make their incredible art. You (presumably) don’t complain about other forms of art costing millions of dollars. We want people to value the work of artisans more, not less!!!

Tl;dr it’s not just “an outfit” it’s a piece of art and deserves to be treated as such

[cinemaglow]

It's not just about paying the designers, it's also about paying the weavers, dyers, and other artisans who make the materials, usually on heirloom equipment and sometimes involving endangered crafts; and the possibly hundreds of people involved in patterning and constructing the garments. And depending on the design we also have specialists, like the corsetieres who engineer the structures underneath it all; the embroiderers, beaders, pleaters, trim weavers, passimenterie houses, silk flower makers, lace makers etc involved in embellishing the garment; the milliners, glovemakers, jewelers, shoemakers, leatherworks, 3D modelists etc who are commissioned to accessorize the look. Each look involves many, many, hours of work by many, many, people; all of whom have undergone specialized education to develop their skills and qualify for their positions.

I think many people on tumblr care about fair compensation for artists and fair compensation for garment workers, and this is the intersection of those issues. It's not like ready-to-wear luxury goods where the high price tag comes from an insane mark-up that all goes into the pockets of the company; the high price is due to the labor and quality materials involved, and designers make very little profit on these pieces or may even lose money on them.

[hyperlexichypatia]

I think "money spent on extravagant art is a waste that should be spent on helping the poor" or whatever is a valid stance that I won't dismiss out of hand, but if you feel that painting, sculpture, music, theater, etc are valid uses of resources for human artistic expression, but fashion and fiber arts are frivolous vanity... I mean... Spot The Feminine Coded Art Form. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[darcylightninglewis]

Think people need to understand is this money would have been going to buy a new yacht or a new country home, or pay for the creature comforts while living near set. They not only are providing jobs for artisans, designers, crafts people, they are also making it possible for all of us to see these exhibits. The spaces used for exhibits have to be tailored to each kind of exhibit. It also requires different ambient temperatures, lighting, space to not have it fall or bumped into. One doesn’t get wheeled out and another in, overnight. This isn’t an overnight rebrand of a store. These are private purses paying for this. I’m all for taxing them more to fund healthcare, public transit, etc…but these finances were never going to go to those things. Never.

Anyone who works nonprofit knows people will give more money if it means people sees their name in print, or knows how much they gave. It’s a vanity night that pays it forward so we can learn more about ourselves through art and preserves our history.

weekend? more like weakened. let me rest

[star-system-generator]

FAQ to date and answers I have managed to get out of the generator's creator (who is extremely offline, bemused by the attention, and deeply flattered if slightly concerned):

This is a freebie and is being written as a side project by a very busy physicist and apparently distributed as a side project by a very busy rocket scientist, this blog is gonna be sparse on the updates.

Yes it's coded in Matlab yes we know you hate Matlab.

At some point the creator (I'm gonna have to ask them what pseudonym they want because I can't keep calling them 'my beta' but again we didn't think this would happen) is intending to code this up as a .exe that users can run directly if they trust us or compile themselves and then run if they don't. This person is way more computer than I am and I'm more computer than much of Tumblr so yes this is a high bar to entry.

Yes the intention is to publish the code when it's working properly, and I'm trying to convince them to set up a github page. It's going. Badly.

At the moment it's generating random star systems beautifully, though the smaller moons keep phasing in and out and you have to check the readme to find out what the numbers mean. Generating planets to spec is stickier just at present and will be a longer time coming.

Their intention is to send me a working copy of the random generator to post sometime on Friday, so realistically you won't see that before the weekend because I have a life too and y'all are killing my notes.

Yes EVENTUALLY you should be able to input any of the parameters the generator allows for and it will output a system that meets your requirements, but I anticipate spending a LOT of time deliberately breaking it before that's up and running.

To the person who offered debugging help, I love and appreciate you but this person learned to code fortran and assembly before anything else and makes new code languages for fun so I do not think you will be able to read their code (no shade, I can't either).

Yes it can do binary systems, I have the printout for one, but again it is currently sitting in a state of 'this is an unformatted Matlab output' and requires reference to the index/readme/glossary to puzzle out what the numbers mean.

[lilaxthegreat]

Have you considered checking with the devs who work on the World Orogen generator?

(Which for those who dont know is a planet generator that literally generates a planet with tectonic activity and a generalized idea on mountain ranges and even climates. So i can see potential in expanding further)

[star-system-generator]

@frowny-clowny you're looking for this.

To answer - no, this is the first I'd heard of this thing, I'll mention it to the physicist but I suspect actually making the two compatible will be out of scope because this was intended as a small one-off and absolutely not something that would get or need ongoing support.

We uh. Were expecting maybe 20 people to be maybe mildly interested in seeing it in a few months.
