It's a beautiful thing
Ask me anything
This is just me reblogging pictures of things I like, or maybe I like the pictures themselves. I sometimes reblog fairly large chunks of images at one time, so if you don't like that showing up on your stream, best to avoid me! If you're not comfortable with sexuality then, again, perhaps best not to follow.
Who am I? I'm a pure mathematician, master of computer science, guitarist, composer, software developer, and one of the laziest people around.
IC 4603
The Turbulent Heart of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex
Copyright: Rolf Wahl Olsen
This image shows the core region of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex, centered around the prominent blue reflection nebula IC 4603. This is one of the nearest star forming regions and the intricacies of the dense interstellar dust clouds in the area provides a spectacular display of light and colours.
The bright star is 7.9 magnitude SAO184376 which is the main source of light for the blue reflection nebula. The contrasting red areas towards the top are primarily due to reflected light from the hearby red giant star Antares, which lies outside the field of view. The entire area is also littered with hundreds of dim reddish stars, which are typically very young T Tauri stars.

The NamibRand Nature Reserve, a private nature reserve in southern Namibia, has gotten the stamp of approval to become an official night sky reserve — a spot supremely suited for some of the best stargazing on Earth.

“We mistake sex for romance. Guys are taught that pushing a girl up against a wall is romance. Sex is easy; you can do it with anyone, yourself, with batteries. Romance is when someone you like walks into a room and they take your breath away. Romance is when two people are dancing and they fit together perfectly. Romance is when two people are walking next to each other and all of a sudden they find themselves holding hands, and they don’t know how that happened.”
