Is math discovered or invented? Most scientists say discovered. I used to agree. But Iโve come to think we invent systems to impose order, and math is our most powerful language for expressing that order.

We will never forget the lessons learned at such a high cost.
I captured the entire "Planetary Parade" using my 11" telescope, and combined everything into one composite photo that stayed true to the angular scale of these objects.
Made entirely with real photos, I hope this composite helps illustrate the scale of these things!
What a marvel! A staging with all the creativity. Only these fantastic girls could have chosen such an amazing musical cocktail, with a sensational staging.

Awful exoplanets: WASP 127 b has the fastest jet stream that wraps around a planet ever discoveredโฆ the winds are unbelievably fast #nasa#space#astronomy#science
Seeing our planet for the first time, a dream decades in the making.
Youโre seeing so many emotions intertwined. Excitement, awe, and pride - but to be honest a little fear and confusion too. You just launched on a rocket and youโre seeing something youโve never seen before (all while weightless and upside down)
Itโs scary, exhilarating, confusing, and completely and utterly joyful. So incredibly joyful.
Iโm immensely grateful to be the 100th woman in history to see this view.
And now, the real work begins. Because now I get to share this with others. ๐๐
To everyone who works at @blueorigin - thank you for giving me the world.
