On this day, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope celebrates 27 years since its launch. 

You’re looking at more than 10,000 galaxies—and for some, it’s their first time on public display. The portrait, released this past June, is a compilation of a decade’s, and 841 orbits’, worth of photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope as it’s drifted hundreds of miles above Earth. NASA calls the image “the most comprehensive picture ever assembled of the evolving universe—and one of the most colorful.”

The sparse flecks that sparkle like diamonds depict individual stars within our Milky Way, according to Hubble team member Rogier Windhorst. All of the other confetti-like spots of color—ranging from blue to red—each correspond to a faraway galaxy of a certain age. The blue ones are young, hot galaxies that emit ultraviolet light produced between five to 10 billion years ago, back when most stars in the universe were born. The reddish spots, meanwhile, represent galaxies much older and cooler than the baby blues, dating back to a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. Learn more here.

reblog if you go absolutely insane whenever someone says a lyric from Hamilton but don’t mean it in a hamilton way. like the say of course and you just explode like tHEN DEFEND IT WHAT IF YOURE BACKING THE WRONG HORSE BURR WE STUDIED AND WE FOUGHT AND WE KILLED FOR THE NOTION OF A NATION WE NOW GET TO BUILD FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE TAKE A STAND WITH PRIDE I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU STAND TO THE SIDE I AM KEEPING ALL MY PLANS CLOSE TO MY CHEST without breathing

[d0ubledreams-deactivated2019123]

This is too relatable. The second someone says “shame” I start screaming Farmer Refuted at the top of my lungs

[stupidships3335-deactivated2017]

Like with how. “How?” “DOES A BASTARD ORPHAN SON OF A WHORE GO ON AND ON GROW INTO MORE OF A PHENOMENON-” “MYLEE SHUT THE FUCK UP OR ILL KILL YOU”

[d0ubledreams-deactivated2019123]

And one of the worst ones: “hey” “HEY HEY HEY HEY OOOOOOH I DO I DO I DO I DO HEEEYYY” “ARI IF YOU DONT SHUT IT I SWEAR”

[stupidships3335-deactivated2017]

AND DONT EVEN GET FUCKING STARTED ON RAISE. “RAISE” “A GLASS TO FREEDOM HE AIMS HIS PISTOL AT THE SKY WAIT I STRIKE HI-” “MYLEE PLEEAASE STOP ILL DO ANYTHING” “will you let me sing hamilton” “no you’ve found a loophole”

[d0ubledreams-deactivated2019123]

AND THEN THERE’S FUCKING CONGRATULATIONS. DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE?

[stupidships3335-deactivated2017]

and the all holy one, rag. “TAGVOLUNTEERARMYINNEEDOFASHOWER-” “AIGLENTINA SAY ANOTHER WORD AND I WILL RIP OUT YOUR VOCAL CORDS”

[d0ubledreams-deactivated2019123]

Then of course there’s help. “LESSLOOKINTOYOUREYESANDTHESKYSTHELIMITIMHEL-” “ARIANA I SWEAR TO GOD”

[stupidships3335-deactivated2017]

Don’t forget stay. “HEYYYY HEEEEAAAYYYYY LORD SHOW ME HOW TO SAY NO TO THIS I CANT SAY NO THIS”

[lovetoscience]

I can then continue whatever they try to say to make me stop and turn that into a lyric. Like so:

"Look -" "AROUND LOOK AROUND AT HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW HISTORY IS HAPPENING IN MANHATTAN AND WE" "no -" "NO SAY NO TO THIS I CAN'T SAY NO TO THIS" "why -" "DO YOU ASSUME YOU'RE THE SMARTEST IN THE ROOM"

[hermionescisgenderpenis]

YOU FUCKING SEE THIS MAP, MOTHERFUCKERS?

YOU GETTING A LONG GOOD SQUINT ON WITH YOUR SIGHT-HOLES?

YOU SEE THAT LONG ORANGE SNAKE WEAVING ITSELF AROUND OUR FAIR COUNTRY?

THAT ORANGE LINE DENOTES THE 100 MILE BORDERS OF THE US, WHICH IS NOW BASICALLY A CONSTITUTION-FREE ZONE

DOES THAT SOUND HYPERBOLIC TO YOU SHITHEADS?

DO YOU THINK I’M GETTING MY MOTHERFUCKING HYPERBOLE ON?

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY HAS DECLARED THAT ITS AGENTS NOW HAVE THE RIGHTS TO SEARCH THE ELECTRONIC POSSESSIONS OF ANY FUCKING ONE IN THAT ZONE

ANYBODY, FOR ANY REASON, AS LONG AS THEY ARE WITHIN 100 MILES OF A BORDER OF THE US, CAN NOW HAVE THEIR FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS VIOLATED

THIS OBVIOUSLY INCLUDES THE ENTIRE EAST AND WEST COASTS, ALSO KNOWN AS, YOU KNOW, THE FUCKING POPULATION CENTERS OF OUR ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY

THIS EQUATES TO NEARLY 200 MILLION FUCKING AMERICANS, OR 2/3RDS OF OUR ENTIRE SHITSTAINING WAFFLEHUMPING JELLOFUCKING FROGTOGGLING MINTSNIFFING HORSEHOCKING COUNTRY

IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, YOU RIGHT NOW DO NOT HAVE FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS ANYMORE

THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY IF YOU LIVE ANYWHERE WITHIN 100 MILES OF A US BORDER

THAT MEANS MOST OF THE POPULATION OF ALL WEST COAST (ESPECIALLY CALIFORNIA) AND EAST COAST STATES, ALL OF FLORIDA AND THE ENTIRE NORTHEAST QUADRANT, AND ALL OF POOR MOTHERFUCKING HAWAII

JUST LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FUCKER, NOW A LITTLE COLLECTION OF ORANGE DOTS FLOATING AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN

LET ME REPEAT THAT FOR YOU NOOKWHIFFERS: THE FOURTH AMENDMENT NO LONGER APPLIES TO THE ENTIRE STATE OF HAWAII, AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE STATES OF FLORIDA, MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS, DELAWARE, NEW YORK, AND ALL THOSE OTHER FIDDLY LITTLE TINY FUCKING STATES UP IN THE SNOOTY PART OF AMERICA, YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT LOOK LIKE A KINDERGARTNER TRIED TO MAKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE OUT OF RABBIT SHIT

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE RED MEATY CENTER OF AMERICA IS ENTIRELY PROTECTED BUT I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO GET INTO THAT

POINT IS, THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, WHICH IS NOTORIOUS FOR ITS BLANKET STATEMENTS AND ITS DISREGARD FOR THE PRIVACY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HAS NOW DECLARED THE RIGHTS OF TWO MOTHERFUCKING THIRDS OF THE GODDAMNED COUNTRY INVALID

AND YES I MOTHERFUCKING STRETCHED YOUR DASH FOR THIS

MAKE SOME FUCKING NOISE, PEOPLE

cuz this shit ain’t right.

EDIT: CLICKTHROUGH THE PIC FOR SOURCE, SHITSTAINS

ALSO THIS AND THIS AND MOTHERFUCKING THIS

[nu11-pointer]

little fourteen year old Aaron Burr going off to college all wide eyed and hopeful because he knows he only got in early because of his dad, but he’s going to prove himself!!! he’s going to do so well!!! and everyone will see he deserves to be there

but that’s not what happens. he gets the top grades in every class and is involved in every club, he does everything just right but that only seems to make things worse. whenever he answers a question right or wins an award or is held up as an example by a teacher, the other students roll their eyes and mutter “of course they give him good grades, don’t you know who his father was?” and joke with each other about “the PERFECT little prodigy of princeton college

he figures out what he’s doing wrong, eventually. he stops speaking as much in classes and he mostly keeps to himself and starts studying more. he graduates in two years instead of four, and it hurts, a little, because he was so excited to be there, so sure that he would finally be around people who were as smart as him, that for once he wouldn’t be so separate from everyone. but it’s okay. see, he knows how to act now

talk less, smile more

[lovetoscience]

That's okay I didn't need a heart anyway

*sobs quietly in a corner for the rest of the day*

Friend: Yeah, but can you rap anything besides Hamilton? Me: *deep breath* “He’s just a bang beat, bell ringing, big haul, great go, neck or nothin’, rip roarin’, every time a bull’s eye salesman. That’s Professor Harold Hill, Harold Hill – What’s the fellow’s line? what’s his line? – He’s a fake, and he doesn’t know the territory! – Look, whaddayatalk, whaddayatalk? – He’s a music man and he sells clarinets to the kids in the town with the big trombones and the rat-a-tat drums, big brass bass, big brass bass, and the piccolo, the piccolo with uniforms, too with a shiny gold braid on the coat and a big red stripe running–” Friend: No, nonono,  I meant something that ISN’T a broadway musical. Me: *Sighs* Me: *Dons elaborate wig* Me: I love the people and the people love me, so much that they restored the English Monarchy! I’m part Scottish, French, Italian, a little bit Dane, and 100% party animal – Champagne!…

fun game 4 hamilton listeners: reblog this post and tag it with the line u currently have stuck in ur head

[lovetoscience]

Washington isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents, this is the difference, this kid is out! (OH!)

[ancient-rome-au]

au where no one ever has an awkward conversation or internal monologue about whether or not to address someone with a PhD as “Doctor” because the Roman Empire never fell so Latin is the 1st or 2nd language of everyone in Western Civilization and therefore everyone knows it means “teacher / one who has received a degree that qualifies them to teach at the university level”

Now, whether a PhD actually indicates anything of value about one’s pedagogical skills…. well uhm… we’ll resolve that some other time…

[lovetoscience]

Yassss
