gonna grow you a place safer than this

Love seeing all the stars out tonight

wait till the tumblr girlies find out that in binary star systems sometimes one star will basically eat the other and kill them both - resulting in the most powerful thing a star could ever do in its life.

you can become the greatest reckoning in the world but it will cost you your life and your partner’s life. or do you wish to simply circuit each other until you both die - never truly touching

TO my understanding (based on this and this and my rusty old degree in astrophysics) there’s two types of systems that create type 1a supernovae

one is the double-degenerate model, where two white dwarfs eat each other and then both explode

the other is the single-degenerate model, where a white dwarf siphons off helium from a donor star, then it explodes and probably leaves the donor star more or less intact.

so, either you touch and you both go out in a blaze of destruction and creation, or you touch and one of you is destroyed... and the other has to live with it, in the cloud of debris they left, no less

but yeah either way it’s yuri

i have nothing against the “crowley was raphael” hc but also please consider crowley as just a low-level worker in the star creation department largely known for having good hair and annoying his bosses by constantly creating binary systems because “i dunno, i just thought they seemed lonely”

D'awwwwww

we all say that Crowley is an artist because he created stars, but if we think about it, stars are continuous nuclear explosions of hydrogen and helium- so what Crowley is, is a giggling arsonist who set up millions of bombs all across the universe and they’re still exploding. 

HOLY SHIT

“my battery is low and it’s getting dark” is so hauntingly human, so crushingly lonely. I can’t articulate the deep, profound ache that sentence evokes. It’s acceptance and defeat and terror and sadness all at once, all from one tiny machine we asked to explore the stars for us.

im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers

ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds. 

(basically the problem with most cameras is that they dont have a very good light sensitivity in the dark, however that doesnt mean they cant detect it at all. the longer the shutter is open, the more light your camera takes in and the more burnt/light your pic will be, so in (literally) dark situations, make the shutter lag longer to get all that light you need! also i said 20 seconds but really you can make it shorter or longer depending on what kinda stuff you want for your stars)

Yes this!

Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)

And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).

Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).

Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.

Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.

You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.

Not even a little bit.

@fanofspace

This doesnt work for iphones i bet

Holy shit this is amazing
