Magic and Moonlit Wings

A fanblog of the movie Strange Magic, and whatever else catches my attention. A surprising amount of Trollhunters stuff now, too.

So the James Webb telescope took a picture of a infant star!!

The small glowing blob is protostar L1527! Caught in the glow of its sunrise-like creation the baby is only 100,00 years old! It can take up to 50 million years for a star to reach the size of our sun. This infant has a long time to go.

Located 460 light years away this is one hell of a childhood photo!

The clearest picture of the sun ever recorded!

The Sun is not made of fire, its energy comes from nuclear fusion to its heart, where the temperature exceeds 15 million degrees and the pressure is immense. It melts hydrogen atoms, turning them into helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat in the process.

Every second, it converts 600 million tonnes of hydrogen into 596 million tonnes of helium, the 4 million tonnes of missing matter is converted into energy - a process that will continue for the next 5 billion years.

Aja: “Humans think that they are the center of the universe.” 

Krel: “They’re several million light years away from that, actually.” 

Confirmation in 3Below S1E3, Mind Over Matter, that Earth is not the geographic center of the universe in Tales of Arcadia (unless Akiridion astronomers are wrong, I guess), and therefore the magical center of the universe described in the movie is different; like how ‘magnetic north’ doesn’t perfectly match up with ‘true north’.
