ATTENTION Cyclone!!!

Abrams does not have he best track record with movies in my book, but these characters are delightful.

@jjabrams It feels impossible, but today wrapped photography on Episode IX. There is no adequate way to thank this truly magical crew and cast. I’m forever indebted to you all.

So beautiful! I miss this team.

Stargate SG-1 Friendships

One of the many things I love about this show is that they weren`t afraid of intimacy between friends. They early on established that SG-1 is a group of people who are very close to each other and care deeply about each other. Like Sam put it into words once: “We were a team, Teal'c. No one can even begin to understand what we went through together, what we mean to each other.” So it was only natural they were comfortable with each other enough to share a hug or touch in the moments of great discomfort or the great joy.

Why it was never just a show set in space.

Just this.

So cool!

We Found the Universe’s First Type of Molecule

For decades, astronomers searched the cosmos for what is thought to be the first kind of molecule to have formed after the Big Bang. Now, it has finally been found. The molecule is called helium hydride. It’s made of a combination of hydrogen and helium. Astronomers think the molecule appeared more than 13 billion years ago and was the beginning step in the evolution of the universe. Only a few kinds of atoms existed when the universe was very young. Over time, the universe transformed from a primordial soup of simple molecules to the complex place it is today — filled with a seemingly infinite number of planets, stars and galaxies. Using SOFIA, the world’s largest airborne observatory, scientists observed newly formed helium hydride in a planetary nebula 3,000 light-years away. It was the first ever detection of the molecule in the modern universe. Learn more about the discovery:

Helium hydride is created when hydrogen and helium combine. 

Since the 1970s, scientists thought planetary nebula NGC 7027—a giant cloud of gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus—had the right environment for helium hydride to exist. 

But space telescopes could not pick out its chemical signal from a medley of molecules. 

Enter SOFIA, the world’s largest flying observatory! 

By pointing the aircraft’s 106-inch telescope at the planetary nebula and using a tool that works like a radio receiver to tune in to the “frequency” of helium hydride, similar to tuning a radio to a favorite station…

…the molecule’s chemical signal came through loud and clear, bringing a decades-long search to a happy end.

SOFIA is a modified Boeing 747SP aircraft that allows astronomers to study the solar system and beyond in ways that are not possible with ground-based telescopes. Find out more about the mission at www.nasa.gov/SOFIA

so you’re telling me that I watched Andor (2022) and I heard quotes like “one way out” , “Tell him I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong.” , “The pace of repression outstrips out ability to understand it.” , “The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep.” , “You think they care what we say? Nobody's listening. Nobody.” , “Everyone has their own rebellion.” , and “I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I'll never see.” and now I’m just supposed to watch other Star Wars as if the course of my life wasn’t fundamentally changed-

Aww, love this!

Oppy deserves a happy ending, okay

This is the best thing ever!
