Lighting the universe

—

The Big Bang wasn’t all it has been cracked up to be. Sure, it created the universe. But after the heat of the primordial fireball faded, the cosmos plunged into darkness. The universe was cold and black — a sea of hydrogen and helium atoms mixed with a mysterious dark form of matter making its presence known only by its gravity. No stars.

It took a series of violent events — starting about 100 million years after the Big Bang—to end the cosmic Dark Ages. First, the evenly spread dark matter gathered into clumps, pulling in hydrogen gas that coalesced into clouds. Then pressure inside the clouds grew strong enough to fuse atoms, triggering nuclear reactions. The first stars created this way looked like roses with diaphanous petals, unfolding against a sea of darkness. The universe was finally in bloom.

The first stars marked a milestone in the history of the universe, bringing light and warmth back to the cosmos. Later, those primeval stars met their end in spectacular explosions known as supernovas, which seeded the universe with its first dollops of oxygen, carbon and silicon. Those elements made it possible for a second generation of stars to form.

In this handout photo released by Nasa Earth Observatory on June 7, 2011 and taken from Nasa’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, sunspot complex 1226-1227, shows the Sun unleashing an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare, an S1-class radiation storm and a coronal mass ejection resulting in a large cloud of particles mushrooming up and falling back down giving the impression of covering an area of almost half the solar surface. An unusual solar flare observed by a NASA space observatory on June 7 could cause some disruptions to satellite communications and power on Earth over the next day or so, officials said. The potent blast from the Sun unleashed a firestorm of radiation on a level not witnessed since 2006, and will likely lead to moderate geomagnetic storm activity by Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The Carina Nebula is a large bright nebula that surrounds several clusters of stars. It contains two of the most massive and luminous stars in our Milky Way galaxy, Eta Carinae and HD 93129A. Located 7500 light years away, the nebula itself spans some 260 light years across, about 7 times the size of the Orion Nebula, and is shown in all its glory in this mosaic. It is based on images collected with the 1.5-m Danish telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory.

Being brighter than one million Suns, Eta Carinae (the brightest star in this image) is the most luminous star known in the Galaxy, and has most likely a mass over 100 times that of the Sun. It is the closest example of a luminous blue variable, the last phase in the life of a very massive star before it explodes in a fiery supernova. Eta Carinae is surrounded by an expanding bipolar cloud of dust and gas known as the Homunculus (little man in Latin), which astronomers believe was expelled from the star during a great outburst seen in 1843.

By the Sea

I stand outside, right by the sea

I’m all alone, no one but me

I wish he would hold my hand 

but I’m alone so here I stand

through rain or hail I will not budge

Is this what it feels like to be in Love?

So here I stand through rain or shine

Just wishing he would soon be mine

he’s not here but hope makes me stay

he may show up another day

So I just stand, out by the sea

 I stand alone, it’s only me.

buy shit. you know you wanna!

Unexplained

I spent so many nights alone 
with all these feelings so unknown
I cried for reasons I couldn’t explain
and the empty thoughts left a stain

I tried too hard to find someone to care
that in the end, I was left so bare
I was consumed by envy, and spit back out
yet I remained silent, and gave into doubt

I spent so much time trying to build a wall
when in my mind, I was wishing it would fall
I was trying to be different, when I was the same
all that time I was searching for someone else to blame

I needed an exit, from what I fought to keep
but my brittle attempt turned out cheap
I tried to help, but I seemed to cause more tension
so I looked past my words to get a comprehension

I attempted to write, but my paper became soaked
With tears that fell because of memories evoked
I whispered to myself it’ll be okay
But my impervious words, began to decay

I spend so many nights alone
with all these emotions now not unknown
I cry for reasons I have explained
and those packed full thoughts, still are stained
