I am rolling about in some Very Unnecessary feelings.

Rewatching old movies set in specific eras and fact-checking clothing, vehicles, and other details for accuracy.

I loved this one so much I included more info than I normally do.

The Dead Disk Galaxy

The first example of a compact yet massive, fast-spinning, disk-shaped galaxy that stopped making stars only a few billion years after the big bang.

Finding such a galaxy early in the history of the universe challenges the current understanding of how massive galaxies form and evolve, say researchers.

When Hubble photographed the galaxy, astronomers expected to see a chaotic ball of stars formed through galaxies merging together. Instead, they saw evidence that the stars were born in a pancake-shaped disk.

This is the first direct observational evidence that at least some of the earliest so-called "dead" galaxies — where star formation stopped — somehow evolve from a Milky Way-shaped disk into the giant elliptical galaxies we see today.

This is a surprise because elliptical galaxies contain older stars, while spiral galaxies typically contain younger blue stars. At least some of these early "dead" disk galaxies must have gone through major makeovers. They not only changed their structure, but also the motions of their stars to make a shape of an elliptical galaxy.

i'm really slow and bad at getting started on things

but if i actually get started

boy am i terrible at stopping

I need to finish some things I started days ago. Hoping to do that tomorrow.

Martian Sunset

Just as colors are made more dramatic in sunsets on Earth, Martian sunsets would appear bluish to human observers watching from the red planet. Fine dust*makes the blue near the Sun's part of the sky much more prominent, while normal daylight makes the Red Planet's familiar rusty dust color more prominent.

Why are unnecessary feelings being a thing now? :(

[Stabbsworth]

very frustrated about the whole indie game dev industry right now.

[Coda]

What, specifically, is wrong with the indie game industry?

[Stabbsworth]

people. mostly due to one of the guys behind night in the woods being a prick.

also i'm still scared of spiders. really wish i wasn't so that i could take them outside and make sure they're safe, u know?

[Coda]

People who are pricks are a plague on every industry. *nods*

[Stabbsworth]

god, yeah. i'm just really concerned and hoping that people affected by the fucker are getting therapy, y'know?

I saw that today on twitter and I... calling him a prick is an understatement.

Someone enlighten me?
