apparently nasa confirmed there’s an ocean on one of Jupiter’s moons
say it with me kids: space mermaids
Okay, this brought out my inner astronomy nerd, hold onto your hats, folks.
The moon is called Europa, and it doesn’t have just an ocean. It is completely covered in water with a mile-thick sheet of ice over the top.
Now we know that the ice has water under it because once in a while, massive fucking geysers shoot water up into space.
Now this brings up an interesting question about Europa: How in the fuck can the water stay warm enough to be liquid if there’s a mile-thick sheet of ice on top of it?
And the theorized answer is: Europa has a core that is warm like our own. And it has undersea hydrothermal vents that are causing the geysers.
Now this would keep the water at above-freezing temperatures, and if the hydrothermal vents on Europa act anything like the ones on Earth, we have the potential of them spitting up organic matter from Europa’s core into the oceans.
And guess what that soup of organic matter means? The potential for life.
So yeah. Space mermaids. And a whole lot more.

Idk if this counts as a peeve more of an art-astronomy pet peeve
but when people draw the cresent moon and where the dark, shaddowed part of the moon is they put in stars
like studdenly that part of the moon is invisible instead of just being in the shadow
like wtf
wait no peOPLE ACTUALLY DO THIS???
really stupid question though but like, aren’t there stars in front of the moon??? like??? space isn’t two dimensional so someone putting a couple stars in front of the shadow wouldn’t necessarily be wrong?? because aren’t there stars all around in space and?????? im just going to be confused forever frick uvu;
hun if there was a star infront of the moon we’d be fucking dead
i’m fucking crying

MY SPACE BONER AND ART BONER HAVE COLLIDED.
THE SPACE FANDOM DOESN’T FUCK AROUND
WE HAVE A SPACE FANDOM
WE DO NOW
In a new project called “OMG, Who Stole My Ads?” French street artist Etienne Lavie makes it his mission to transform the ad space in Paris into an outdoor art gallery. He has been travelling around the city, snatching up posters and billboards, and replacing them with fine specimens of French art from an earlier era. If our senses have over-developed to the point where we need to be visually stimulated at all times outdoors, just to keep up continuity, then we might as well at least occasionally glimpse something that moves us—something we might elect to look at voluntarily. Lavie’s project gives that gift to a lucky subset of Parisian commuters.
Monster Island in Williamsburg is being knocked over to build, who knows, another condo. To draw the “curtains” on the space, they spilled paint down the side of the building covering its famous murals. (Source)
