Psychologists use a Rorschach test to learn about our personality traits and conflicts held deep in the subconscious. I want you to take you a Celestial Rorschach test. Perhaps not to understand any deep rooted conflicts, but rather to gain an inner perspective of what you see outside.
I smiled every morning in Chile watching Orion rise toes first in the sky. It might put a smile on your face to watch him peek above the horizon as he rises in the northern hemisphere. We all have a unique perspective of the universe, and our lives due to our experiences. When you look up, be humbled by the vastness of the universe, but above all keep learning and put a smile on your face, be filled with the joy that is the universe, and let that wonder take you to new possibilities.

Hello and welcome! I am an astrobiologist and a science communicator about all things space-related, but especially human space exploration, astrobiology and astronomy. I work
I don’t know who made this pic but a friend of mine sent it to me one day. It took me a long time to figure out how to cross my eyes and see things in perspective but I managed to do it in the end and the result was spectacular … 🙂

“People believe they can simply go to Mars, pull out some inflatable greenhouses and start living there in happiness and plenty of oxygen… well, I don’t really think it works like that!”
There is a Milky Way Kiwi at the heart of all of us!
A MILKY WAY KIWI IS SOMEONE WHO SHOWS UP TO LIVE IN THE FUTURE. A BIT WILD, VERY CURIOUS, A MILKY WAY KIWI CHOOSES LIFE AND CARES ABOUT IT. IT KNOWS THAT HE OR SHE IS MADE OF STARDUST. AND BECAUSE OF THAT EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN LIFE. WE ARE BEAUTIFUL, BRIGHT AND ETERNAL, JUST LIKE THE STARS.
I could never quite grasp November, never understood the point of it being there. Feeling too cold and too hot in the same time… my senses definitely refused to multitask. Then, eons later when I discovered Wellington with its famous five seasons in one day: spring, summer, autumn, winter and Monsoon, November felt less incomprehensible.
Today at 2:31 PM NZST all Wellingtonians stopped working and instead, instantly occupied the space “under the tables for all the wrong reasons”. Immediately after that, in a perfect orchestration, everyone vacated their working places! Wellington’s CBD suddenly become alive as people started their silent march down the hill – since nobody could talk on the phone due to the network overload! Why down the hill nobody knows but fact is that the entire working force of Wellington acted in solidarity, for once, today, in a new type of strike … the strike slip!!
Oh stone
you that are forever and
yet
slowly sifting
through
the
sieve of time
like the grains of
sand squeezing their way
inside the hourglass…
no way out till it’s broken…
Life needs CHNOPS, the six essential elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. Curiosity found them on ancient Mars, but a new study shows Earth was born without them. Only a lucky impact with Theia made our world habitable. In contrast, Venus never stood a chance. Meet the three planetary siblings and discover why only Earth became a cradle for life.
Mars’s mantle contains ancient fragments up to 4km wide from its formation—preserved like geological fossils from the planet’s violent early history.
Cosmic rays are hitting the atmosphere constantly. One of the products of the collisions is muons, and we can detect muons on the surface of the Earth to learn about the cosmic rays.
NGC6025 is an beautiful open cluster close to Beta Trianguli Australis in Triangulum Australe. Visible with binoculars and great in a telescope, well worth a look.
