HH-222, the Waterfall Nebula, isn't flowing gas but a 10-light-year-long bow shock. This colossal wave, caused by a jet from the V380 Orionis system, moves through space, appearing like a terrestrial waterfall 1,500 light-years away in Orion.

I've been a bird nerd since I was very young, and it was one of the reasons I got into photography. So I was very happy to encounter this photogenic little robin on a frosty walk this morning!

PSA: Cosmic objects aren’t gifts! 🎁🚫Be sure to consider an object's size, weight, temperament, and lifespan before gifting it this holiday season. Image descriptions: Image 1: Text reads:“I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas present. I am a 100,000 year-old unstable, small, hot, puffy clump of gas. It will be a long time before I become a full-fledged star. Please think hard before gifting a protostar this Christmas.” The background image shows Webb’s view of forming protostar L1527 surrounded by a large hourglass-shaped nebula.

I am an invisible, time-altering, light-bending, super-strong gravity trap capable of releasing more energy than a billion Suns combined. Please think hard before gifting a black hole this Christmas.” The background image shows an artist concept of a black hole. Credit: Artist's Concept. NASA, ESA, CSA, Ralf Crawford (STScI)Image 3: Text reads: “I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas present. I am a hat-shaped galaxy 30 million light-years away with the mass of 800 billion Suns. Please think hard before gifting a spiral galaxy this Christmas.” The background image shows Webb’s view of the Sombrero Galaxy. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI Image 4: Text reads: “I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas present. I am remnants of gas and dust ejected from a star like our Sun at the end of its life. I will only live 10,000–50,000 years. Please think hard before gifting a planetary nebula this Christmas.” The background image shows Webb’s view of a planetary nebula with two rings.

While that may sound cute, I mostly gobble up and spit out the material around me. Really a huge hassle. Please think hard before gifting baby stars this Christmas.” In the background is Webb's view of Herbig-Haro 46/47. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA.

I took few of my old designs and put them up for adoption, as I really need a lot of money for Karmel's vet bills :x

They're available on my Kofi~

Hi!

my mom's kitty, Karmel, had to had his kidney with tumor removed, that made us very in debt in our vet, any help, donation or sharing forward will be much appreciated 🥹

For the Polish audience: zrzutka.pl/x59sj8

Done with this months ACEO exchange, Silvie for Axicon. Haven't drawn a kitty in a while! Also remembered to take a few wip pics too XD

While I'm extremely grateful for vets and being able to get care for my pet, the costs have become quite eye watering. It was £52 just for a consultation (where the vet didn't actually need to do anything). I remember when it used to be £38!

Treating myself by re-listening to Electro Light Orchestra's Time album. It's such a great album, so many of songs are absolute bangers! Ticket to the Moon and 21st Century Man are such earworms too XD
