Spectacular death. Spectacular star. Your crushed heart remains bright from afar. You’re looking at a composite image of the Crab Nebula, located 6,500 light-years away. The white dot in the center — an extremely dense ball of neutrons just 12 miles across but with the same mass as our Sun — is all that remains from a star that exploded in 1054 A.D. Had the blast occurred 50 light-years away, its intense radiation would have wiped out most life forms on Earth. Spectacular death. Spectacular star. We’re grateful we can admire you from afar.

You probably think this post is about you. Well, it could be.
In this image taken by our Hubble Space Telescope, we see a spiral galaxy with arms that widen as they whirl outward from its bright core, slowly fading into the emptiness of space. Click here to learn more about this beautiful galaxy that resides 70 million light-years away.

Era Moodboards: Victorian Era
In the history of the United Kingdom, the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria’s reign. The period is characterised as one of relative peace among the great powers, increased economic activity, “refined sensibilities” and national self-confidence for Great Britain. Ideologically, the Victorian era witnessed resistance to the rationalism and an increasing turn towards romanticism and mysticism with regard to religion, social values, and arts.
