Time to change my background image

I've used constellations for years, even before webb (low light, not distractingly busy), but I've entirely switched to webb only. 19 new ones! So exciting

I love space but it also scares the shit out of me. It’s so vast and my brain just cannot comprehend it.

Amazing! My 7 year old is obsessed with space. I have learned so much reading to him. There are anywhere from 200 billion to 2 trillion galaxies out there. We have discovered only 5% of space. When you think about it, it’s really wild. How many more planets with living things are actually out there?

I’m here. My thoughts were, “cool and freaking scary”

Both breathtakingly beautiful and breathtakingly terrifying at the same time.
