Ariana Grande shares a heartfelt message for her fans, thanking them for standing by her for many years.

Ariana Grande’s message to her fans:

“to my sweet, sweet fans,
i'm feeling incredibly emotional today (who's surprised?) and i wanted to just thank you from the bottom of my heart. often when we meet in person, you tell me that you've grown up with me or about the impact that my work has had on your life but i feel like i don't really get the chance to tell you enough about the impact that you've had on mine.
it morning of Wicked's release, and i want to tell you how grateful i am for the many ways in which you've held me over the years.... you have held my hand and helped mend my heart time and time again over the past ten years and i would never be here without you. i mean that in every way you can interpret it.
thank you for your patience with me. i know i disappeared into this project for a long, long time (i believe you all called it "the drought"! and i know that was hard for you all. i want to thank you for your fierce protection, your passion, and your ability to see me and love me as i evolve alongside all of you.
i will never take your love, support or the irrevocable connection that we share for granted. from the days of doing many hour long meet n greets in the garage, when it was just us, til i am old lady Peaches, i will love you this same way.
thank you for growing with me. it's one of the greatest joys and gifts of my life.
i love you. see you at the theater.”

IF YOU WERE PART OF TECH TWITTER IN ANY WAY, can you comment here so we can find everyone we knew in the community.

I feel like I am going crazy trying to search for accounts and it is exhausting.

Can we get a thread going on of everyone?

Let's bring the community back together over here.

Move over, blue whale. This 300+ year old 34m coral is now the largest animal* known. Hopefully its depth, as described, can keep it going 🦑🧪

*colony of animals

Scientists discover world’s largest coral—so big it can be seen from space

Exclusive photos reveal a sprawling, 300-year-old coral near Solomon Islands, recently discovered by the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas expedition team.

star clusters are so beautiful ✨

Bright blue stars are in a cluster at the center of the image. They are surrounded by a shell of brownish and burnt orange dust and gas. The shell has ridges that reach towards the stars like teeth. A number of more distant galaxies also appear in the background.

A grouping of large, glowing, and purplish stars dominate the image’s center. Dark ridges of gas and dust are visible around them, with more background stars crowding the view.

$Several bright-white, bluish, and orange stars shine with diffraction spikes, interspersed throughout dark dust. Particularly dark regions of gas and dust are seen near the lower left.$ A dense cluster of bright stars. The core of the cluster is to the left and has a distinct group of blue stars. Surrounding the core are a multitude of stars in warmer colors. These stars are very numerous near the core and become more sparse, as well as more small and distant, out to the sides of the image. A few larger stars also stand in the foreground near the edges of the image.

From the NASA description: The Juno spacecraft captured this image when the spacecraft was only 11,747 miles (18,906 kilometers) from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds—roughly as far as the distance between New York City and Perth, Australia. The color-enhanced image, which captures a cloud system in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere, was taken on October 24, 2017.

once again thinking about the fact that this is all just OUT THERE and we can only see it through the eyes of telescopes

$The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.$ A massive cloud of gas and dust is seen in dark, dusty red, with its outer portions a translucent, ethereal gray. Several stars and distant galaxies are scattered throughout the image.
