Wait, You Mean They Don't Just Bundle Up A Billion Dollar Bills, Stuff Them In The Rocket, And Shoot

Kili was actually the first one to find the kitten. Bilbo would later take the kitten (which he named “Buttons”, which Kili thought was ridiculous) to show to other wounded dwarves to cheer them up, and Buttons became a healing cat. But at the end of the day it would always return to Kili.

#SupernovaSunday

Supernovae are stellar explosions that are so powerful they briefly outshine entire galaxies, radiating as much energy as the Sun or any ordinary star is expected to emit over its entire life span

The Universe is so vast that it is estimated that a star explodes every second. In a galaxy the size of our Milky Way, a star will go supernova every 50 years on average.

A star can go supernova in one of two ways: 

Type I supernova: star accumulates matter from a nearby neighbor until a runaway nuclear reaction ignites. 

Type II supernova: star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity.

Supernovae play a key role in distributing elements throughout the universe. When the star explodes, it shoots elements and debris into space. Many of the elements we find here on Earth, including life, are made in the core of stars. These elements travel on to form new stars, planets and everything else in the universe.

I didn't know that GothTwink/English-Lit Professor was a trope I needed but apparently it is and I would like to personally thank Neil Gaiman for giving me two.

Thank you Google for the great Doodle honoring Annie Jump Cannon today!

Annie Jump Cannon (December 11, 1863 - April 13, 1941) was an American astronomer whose cataloging work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification. With Edward C. Pickering, she is credited with the creation of the Harvard Classification Scheme, which was the first serious attempt to organize and classify stars based on their temperatures. She was nearly deaf throughout her career.

Wait a second, are you telling me the Hobbit movies didn’t end with Thorin and Bilbo getting married? That’s crazy. That final scene - with Bilbo planting the first acorn for a Hobbit garden in Erebor as Consort Under the Mountain, was unforgettable. He and Thorin were so sweet…”

Me, IN DENIAL FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AMEN (via darthstitch)

I'm going to pretend I didn't see this.  

Mother nature really has it out for MA in 2013.
