Saxo Grammaticus (c. 1160 – c. 1220) explaining the importance of understanding that all creative work is inherently derivative once you study the oral tradition of storytelling and history and that’s okay because generations have always reformatted tropes and themes to make them relatable to their current audiences

LETS TALK ABOUT JUPITER.

A Big Boi

SOME JUPITER FACTOIDS:

A day on Jupiter is 9 hours and 55 minutes. Like that is barely enough time for me to walk through every aisle at target.

The Great Red Spot is a STORM.

The ancient Babylonians were the first to record their sightings of Jupiter around the 7th or 8th century BC. so not only a big boi but an old known boi.

To the Romans, he is Jupiter. To the Greeks, he is Zeus. To the Mesopotamians, he is Marduk. And to Germanic tribes he is Thor. (Avengers:endgame was a great movie plz go see it)

Jupiter actually has rings but they are composed of tiny dust particles so they are not seen really. But they are there, dont fret.

Bennu the asteroid <3

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is orbiting a cute asteroid named Bennu.

The craft first fell into Bennu’s orbit in December, 2018 and they have been dating ever since. They are doing quite well because OSIRIS is only 0.4 miles above the asteroid’s surface which is the closest orbit of an object ever. True love <3.

OSIRIS also likes to take pics of his lover and here are some really cool shots of an actual asteroid hurling through space.

A portrait of the happy couple -

And here is a size reference too, she is a big gal -

What the hell are Comets, Meteroids, and Asteroids?

SEE BELOW TO FIND OUT

COMET

Made of ice, rock and dust.

They originate outside our solar system

HUGE. like miles wide. Big boys.

They orbit the sun.

They have that tail thingy.

METEOROID

Small. Like could be a grain of sand

Rocky or metal

They originate from comets or asteroids aka they are the bits that fall off

They orbit the sun

Can fall to earth but then they are called a meteor (if they vaporize in the atmosphere) or a meteorite (if they hit earth)

ASTEROID

Also made of rock or metal

Are larger than a meteoroid and historically if an object is larger than 10 meters across, they are called an asteroid

Also orbit the sun because the sun is so damn popular but they are generally between Mars and Jupiter

Fucking huge!

Mercury’s just jealous they’re missing the biggest party in the universe.

Betelgeuse Imagined via NASA https://ift.tt/2SHw3Yt

Why is Betelgeuse fading? No one knows. Betelgeuse, one of the brightest and most recognized stars in the night sky, is only half as bright as it used to be only five months ago. Such variability is likely just normal behavior for this famously variable supergiant, but the recent dimming has rekindled discussion on how long it may be before Betelgeuse does go supernova. Known for its red color, Betelgeuse is one of the few stars to be resolved by modern telescopes, although only barely. The featured artist’s illustration imagines how Betelgeuse might look up close. Betelgeuse is thought to have a complex and tumultuous surface that frequently throws impressive flares. Were it to replace the Sun (not recommended), its surface would extend out near the orbit of Jupiter, while gas plumes would bubble out past Neptune. Since Betelgeuse is about 700 light years away, its eventual supernova will not endanger life on Earth even though its brightness may rival that of a full Moon. Astronomers – both amateur and professional – will surely continue to monitor Betelgeuse as this new decade unfolds.
