What the Night Sky on Mars may look like!
There's no twinkle. Twinkling is what air does to light, and there's barely any air.
So millions of stars just sit there. sharp. silent.
The haunting sound that Roman soldiers would have heard from their Celtic enemies before battle came from the Carnyx, an ancient wind instrument used between 200 BC and 200 AD.
A lovely clip of Daphne Du Maurier aged 64. I miss this generation of women who looked as they were and felt no shame.
Refusing to be crushed by ageist, sexist expectations & not being modified to look 35 forever.

The James Webb Space Telescope has done it again—revealing a breathtaking structure now dubbed the “Cosmic Vine”: a string of 20 galaxies stretching across a staggering 13 million light-years!
What makes this discovery so shocking? This colossal formation dates back nearly 11 billion years, forming just 3 billion years after the Big Bang—a time when galaxies were thought to still be forming in isolated clumps. Instead, JWST captured a massive, organized structure linking galaxies together much earlier than expected.
This discovery challenges traditional theories about how and when galaxies clustered together in the early universe. It hints that the cosmic web—the vast, invisible scaffolding of the universe—was already weaving galaxies into chains and networks far earlier than we thought.
📚 Scientists are now rethinking the models of galactic evolution and exploring how such a structure could arise so quickly in cosmic history. The “Cosmic Vine” might just be the key to understanding how galaxies interacted, merged, and shaped the universe we see today.
🔭 Thanks to JWST’s infrared vision, we’re seeing the universe not just as it is—but as it was, long before Earth even existed.
