The Einstein Cross Gravitational Lens : Most galaxies have a single nucleus – does this galaxy have four? The strange answer leads astronomers to conclude that the nucleus of the surrounding galaxy is not even visible in this image. The central cloverleaf is rather light emitted from a background quasar. The gravitational field of the visible foreground galaxy breaks light from this distant quasar into four distinct images. The quasar must be properly aligned behind the center of a massive galaxy for a mirage like this to be evident. The general effect is known as gravitational lensing, and this specific case is known as the Einstein Cross. Stranger still, the images of the Einstein Cross vary in relative brightness, enhanced occasionally by the additional gravitational microlensing effect of specific stars in the foreground galaxy. via NASA

Seriously done with life..

Once again, I got rejected from a job the moment i came into an in person interview which is strange since the person was desperate to see me only to cut the inteview short upon noticing I am not what she thought i was (I’m brown skinned.) 

This has been happening to me for almost 2 years and despite my 10+ years graphic design experience, I guess it’s not enough, i get the fake smile, the awkqard atmosphere and then “Well…we were really looking for someone who is self motivated and creative….” Even though they already saw my portfolio and resume and just had to see me as I would always be the first one to be interviewed. Afterwards I would get the “Well…we’re still interviewing and …we’ll be in touch” Nonsense. ::sigh::

I guess i’m giving up all together…i’ve applied to over 2000+ job applicaitons and I either get job rejections automatically or situations like this when I actually get my foot in the door for an in person inteview. 

Perhaps I wasn’t meant to work for anyone and maybe this is God telling me to focus on Cosmic Funnies as my job.

Whichever it is, I am tired and wanting to give up on life. I work so hard and I feel like i’m getting nowhere. 

If you wish for me to make Cosmic Funnies my job, please support me on my Ko-fi so I can actually have food to eat:

I don’t emjoy asking for help but sadly I have no choice but to humble myself and ask for help since this world is so cruel that sometimes I just want to off myself. I’m seriously tired of living. 

Thanks for your support….and have a great day.

Candy Cane of Cosmic Proportions

Imagine how long it would take to eat a candy cane that’s a thousand trillion miles tall! 😋

Scientists peering into the center of our Milky Way galaxy found this 190-light-year tall “candy cane,” but (sadly) it is not a peppermint treat. It does contain other goodies, though. They have found huge collections of material, called giant molecular clouds, where stars are being born. And there are magnetic fields that might be evidence of a bubble from an outburst in our galactic center long ago.

The full image shows our galaxy’s center in infrared (blue), radio (red) and microwave (“minty” green) light. The picture essentially color codes different ways light is produced. The blue and cyan regions show us cool dust where star formation has just begun. Yellow features show more-established star “factories.” Red reveals places where electrically charged gas interacts with magnetic fields.

This image includes newly published observations using an instrument designed and built at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, called the Goddard-IRAM Superconducting 2-Millimeter Observer (GISMO). It was used with a 30-meter radio telescope located on Pico Veleta, Spain, operated by the Institute for Radio Astronomy in the Millimeter Range headquartered in Grenoble, France. The image shows a region about 750 light-years wide.
