Those three photos of the same phenomena are so interesting, Joseph, what a different perspectives they all got!

THIS FUN WEBSITE HELPS YOU FEEL THE UNIVERSE’S TERRIFYING EMPTINESS

Ready to feel insignificant and small? Click & Check out “If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel,” a side-scrolling website that imagines our solar system if the moon were, yes, just one pixel in diameter. Josh Worth, the site’s creator, calls it a “tediously accurate scale model.”

What do we learn? That our existence, drifting on a blue-green speck in a vast, unforgiving sea of black, is hilariously tiny and meaningless. lol  nothing matters, but at least we will continue to pretend that it does!

Well, it makes sense to me that asked now, that is her choice.

I wanted to be a teacher, because I thought that teachers had all the answers and I became a teacher, myself, to find out that teachers do not have all the answers.  

I became a school teacher and began teaching at age 18 and had no life experiences, only book ones!

While I was studying to become a teacher in a Normal School for teachers, my art teacher kept on telling me that I should be a graphic artist, because I painted all the time and I did it very well, but I still believed in teaching.

However I painted and sold many paints when I was living in New York, and later became an Interior Designer (which I also practiced for a while).

When I graduated and began working, I went also to the University to study Education, but I was also studying Philosophy and Letters ( all these things had different names in Cuba, as you can tell) or the equivalent of studying Humanities and receiving a Bachelor in Arts.

I found out that Philosophy was my real vocation, but I also liked Theology, I could not separate one from the other,

And all of this because my father was a theosophist, and I had read his books as a child, understanding them to a certain degree, but not completely, and when I study Philosophy, I began relating everything to what I had learned from his books.

But when I came to this country I began working as an Accountant, studied Business Administration and got a CPA degree, and made my living working as such and eventually had my own firm, and amazingly enough, that was my father's career!

I also went to Law School, for two year with my then boyfriend and then for two years more, after we married. That made me the greatest of Tax Laws Expert.

But Spirituality was a current that I never let go, I could not let go, and that was inherited from my own father!

Yes, indeed, family that watches the stars together, remain together, right?

Sorry Tamera, that your children have temporarily gone to other hobbies!

And Joseph, how is Emma doing?

I keep on praying for her, and definitely, she will become an Astronomer, I am sure!

Did she see the sprites?

Well, Joseph, to answer your question, I would say yes, they probably do.

Now I have to comment on those sprites, OMG, aren't they fantastic?

Turbulent Black Holes Grow Fractal Skins As They Feed

Feeding black holes develop a fractal skin as they grow. That’s the conclusion of simulations that take advantage of a correlation between fluid dynamics and gravity. "We showed that when you throw stuff into a black hole, the surface of the black hole responds like a fluid – and in particular, it can become turbulent," says Allan Adams at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "More precisely, the horizon itself becomes a fractal." Fractals are mathematical sets that show self-similar patterns: zoom in on one part of a fractal drawing, like the famous Mandelbrot set, and the smaller portion will look nearly the same as the original image. Objects with fractal geometries show up all over nature, from clouds to the coast of England. Adams and his colleagues have now found evidence that fractal behaviour occurs in an unexpected place: on the surface of a feeding black hole. Black holes grow by devouring matter that falls into them; the black hole at the centre of our galaxy is due to feast on a gas cloud later this year. But the details of how feeding black holes grow, and how this might affect their host galaxies, are still unknown.

Oh, yes, Joseph, Mercury retrograde is the time to think about ourselves and others, our relationships, to go inward and to find our clarity within!

May be is not a time of great accomplishments, but it is a time of great seeding and planting of the seeds!
