The Ring Nebula (M57), is more complicated than it appears through a small telescope. The easily visible central ring is about one light-year across, but this remarkably deep exposure shows in detail the looping filaments of glowing gas extending much farther from the nebula’s central star. This image, taken by combining data from three different large telescopes, includes red light emitted by hydrogen as well as visible and infrared light. The Ring Nebula is an elongated planetary nebula, a type of nebula created when a Sun-like star evolves to throw off its outer atmosphere to become a white dwarf star. The Ring Nebula is about 2,500 light-years away from us here on Earth.

An enhanced Scorpius constellation!! If it looked this good to the unaided eye, we might might remember it better, typically appears as a few bright stars in a constellation. To get a spectacular image like this, though, you’d need a good camera, a dark sky, and some sophisticated image processing. The resulting digitally-enhanced image shows many breathtaking features. Diagonal across the right side of the image is part of the Milky Way Galaxy. Visible there are vast clouds of bright stars and long filaments of dust. Rising vertically on the left are dark dust bands known as the Dark River. Several of the bright stars on the left are part of Scorpius’ head and claws, and include the bright star Antares. Numerous red emission nebulas, blue reflection nebulas, and dark filaments are visible as well. Scorpius appears prominently in southern skies after sunset during the middle of the year.
This character was formerly written 顯, a combination of 㬎 a Chinese-only character meaning “motes (small particles of dust)” and 頁 head. 㬎 itself is a combination of 日 sun and 絲 threads. One source says that 㬎 represents laying silk threads out in the sun. With the addition of 頁, this gives 㬎 a meaning of putting ones face out into a bright place/the light of day, letting it be clearly seen. This led to the meaning of “visible” in general, and also “manifest.”
When Im with you, I just could not help it but stare at your chest and imagine the beating organ beneath your thick muscle pecs. Just the thought of it also makes my heart race.
Some time ago I posted a gif with an idealization of the Superman’s “super sight”. Here’s a video with a new version of it.

Visible neck pulse + steth audio. When my carotid throbs like this, it makes me want two opposite things: someone to gently take my pulse there, or someone to grab me roughly by the throat and feel it fighting back against their fingers. Which would you like to do?
