aaa !! thank you so much ;; i am almost there < 33 and it feels very surreal considering the number. eternally i am grateful for all the love and support that has been present during my existence on medias.
i would not be able to specify as i think i would ramble on or fare into convoluted ramblings that may or may not end up being more musings asdfjkl; i absolutely love astronomy. but if i had to pick a fact and a theory
✦ stars carved in history. it will never fail to leave me in awe to think about how the stars we gaze upon in the observable universe are technically different points in time. we are in the ' present ' but the cosmos expands, and time does with it. we witness space as a form of time machine - minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and so forth backwards. the nightsky is a graveyard of stars is a dearest. there is a form of solace that comes with being existentially aware that these stars and celestial objects existed at one point in time, and we are part of it. i never personally liked the concept of time, i am highly avoidant of change. but there is a form of eternity in the privilege of witnessing the universe as it is today.
✦ black hole & white hole theories + quasars. although it violates the second law of thermodynamics, i always loved the theoretical existence of the polar opposite of a black hole too. the duality, one absorbs and the other emits. though it is a concept that may or may not be disproven it is still one of my favourites ! in a more realistic sense, quasars are a beloved proven approach i adore.
