A lowly fleshling travelling across this vast universe. I post interesting stuff about astronomy, astrophysics and other related sciences.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey image of Arp 285, also known as NGC 2854 and NGC 2856.
This pair of galaxies is connected by a bridge of material, indicating a past interaction. The upper galaxy, NGC 2856, also has a clumpy tail perpendicular to its disk.

Manigong bagong taon - this is how we say happy new year in the Philippines.
Wishing all the best for everyone (except the bad actors like fascists, techbros etc). 😅
2025 has been a crazy year for science, now wondering what will 2026 bring.

Definitely celebrating alpha men's sore losses. 🤣
One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Not only bad for America but for the entire world as well.
I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.
Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

Before I started my journey towards studying a STEM degree, I have this profound math anxiety. It was an unaddressed problem that goes way back to my student years. When I decided to take the leap, I looked for resources that will help me reintroduce to maths after years of being out of school.

We can all agree that Saturn is the most gorgeous planet in the system.
Tried something new. I used WinJUPOS to de-rotate the #JWST #Saturn 🪐 images. Filters (F150W2, F164N) and F212N. Makes the storms and other features better visible.🔭 #astronomy

Under a dark sky, the Milky Way looks like a bright band interrupted by black rivers.
Those rivers are not empty space; they are curtains of tiny dust grains that swallow nearly all the starlight trying to reach us.

I used to teach in tertiary, like 10 years ago. I also miss the creative and learning that happens within the classroom.

Whilst the Airbus thing is serious, it provides yet another example for folks working in astronomy and space science to cite when we get asked (and it happens a lot):
"What can you do with your studies?" or "where will that get you?"
Understanding of the cosmos has benefits to Earth and humans!

Physics has a reputation for being dominated by men, especially a century ago, as quantum physics was just being invented – but there have been so many women who helped shaped the field since its inception
