hey, can we talk for a second? it’s about your girlfriend. yeah, she’s great. no, yeah, I agree. It’s just that… she seems really devoted to you? Like really devoted. Almost as if you were the sole, fragile line mooring her to the shores of humanity. No, that’s not romant—ugh. Listen. Me and the girls, we’re worried you might be the last good thing to happen to her and that were some tragedy to inevitably befall you, she would tear the gods from their thrones and dye the infinite western seas wine-dark with their ichor. Do you think you could introduce her to a new hobby or something? we don’t want to have to argue over what color “wine-dark” is supposed to be

So I’m guessing we’re all growing old with each other on tumblr.

if i may, what birds are bugs to you? hummingbirds seem pretty bug, but are there any others you were thinking of?

Mainly hummingbirds. They are definitely bugs, possibly the best attempt a vertebrate has ever made at evolving into an insect and I respect them for that.

I feel like some smaller songbirds can also be bugs because they are Small and Compact but Loud.

no rizz. just insane music taste & a peculiar amount of knowledge about very niche topics and historic events

Title: Neutron Stars (beside a simplified core cut drawing of a white Neutron star.)

A neutron star is a dense core left behind after a massive star goes supernova and explodes. Though only about 10 to 20 miles (15 to 30 kilometers) wide, they can have three times the mass of our Sun, making them some of the dens- est objects in the universe, second only to black holes. A teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh 4 billion tons on Earth. There are several types of neutron stars.

Different Types of Neutron Stars:

Magnetar: (beside a simplified image of a magnetar, curved magnetic fields surrounding it)

A magnetar is a neutron star with a particularly strong magnetic field, about 1,000 times stronger than a normal neutron star. That's about a trillion times stronger than Earth's magnetic field and about 100 million times stronger than the most powerful magnets ever made by humans. Scientists have only discovered about 30 magnetars so far.

Pulsar: (beside a simplified image of a pulsar, white rays at either pole)

Most of the roughly 3,000 known neutron stars are pulsars, which emit twin beams of radiation from their magnetic poles. Those poles may not be precisely aligned with the neutron star's rotation axis, so as the neutron star spins, the beams sweep across the sky, like beams from a light- house. To observers on Earth, this can make it look as though the pulsar's light is pulsing on and off,

Magnetar + Pulsar: (beside a simplified image of a neutron star with both magnetic fields and jet beams at the poles)

There are now six known neutron stars that are both pulsars and magnetars.
