absolutely wild to me that the sheer number of sources and academic / organizational discussion on non-medical plurality feels so vast in scope and easily accessible now. back in ye olde days of me being a younger teen w/ DID, it felt like plurals had like. 2-3 kinda finnicky / niche sources to use, and the people who hated them always had holes to punch into the fabric of those sources. the only way i could make it make sense it in my brain was "well, they're not really a medical thing, is it any surprise there wouldn't be a lot of medical studies on that phenomenon? it's not like DID is studied much either, they'd have even less"

and now i check things out these days and there's like, 36 page source documents, official plural organizations, a detailed wikipedia page on the term, entire nonprofit meetings and discussion boards and people who have actually studied and looked into it and been like "yeah that checks out to me". like it feels the plural community of today is so much better understood and accepted than it was just ten-ish years ago

Amazing Universe

An interesting visualization and paradox: the largest planet in the solar system is also the fastest rotating on its axis.

Jupiter completes a full rotation in just 9 hours and 55 minutes.

Interstellar Dust-Bunnies of NGC 891 - March 18th, 1998.

"What is going on in NGC 891? This galaxy appeared previously to be very similar to our own Milky Way galaxy: a spiral galaxy seen nearly edge-on. However, high-resolution images of NGC 891's dust show unusual filamentary patterns extending well away from its galactic disk. This interstellar dust was probably thrown out of the galactic disk and toward the halo by stellar supernovae explosions. Because dust is so fragile, its appearance after surviving disk expulsion can be very telling. Newly-discovered phenomena, however, sometimes appear so complex that more questions are raised than are answered."

Only one chance in a lifetime… and this is it. 🌍🌙

From orbit, Earth doesn’t rise — it sets. Captured by Reid Wiseman aboard the International Space Station, this raw “Earthset” feels like watching sunset… from the edge of existence.

While Christina Koch fires off pro shots and crewmates take it all in, a simple phone captures something deeper: how small we are… and how breathtaking our home truly is.

This isn’t edited. This isn’t staged. This is perspective.

Quasar in an Elliptical Galaxy - April 9th, 1998.

"Where do quasars live? Quasars are so bright, they can be seen from across the Universe. Observations continued to show that most quasars are surrounded by a relatively faint nebulous patch. Astronomes had been trying to identify the nature of these patches. The above false-colour picture shows a central quasar embedded in an unusual elliptical galaxy. The galaxy is being gravitationally distorted by a neighboring galaxy. Evidence indicated that most quasars live near the centers of large, elliptical galaxies - even those quasars where no host galaxy could be found before. Quasars themselves are thought to result from matter falling toward supermassive black holes."

It's official! The Artemis II crew of Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen (speaking) and NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Reid Wiseman have broken the Apollo 13 distance record and flown further from the Earth than any human in history.
