An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.
Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t
I had no idea this was happening. Where are we going?
To fuck some shit up
Around the center of the Milky Way, which is heading towards the Andromeda Galaxy. And our whole Local Group is moving towards the Virgo Cluster.
But we’ll never actually reach the Virgo Cluster because space is expanding between us and them faster than we’re moving towards it.
Motherfucking science.
If the distance between us and the Virgo Cluster is increasing, then how can we be approaching it?
One step forward two steps back.

What is coral bleaching?
Coral bleaching is a serious problem facing corals all over the world. It is a general stress response of corals, and is the result of several different factors, especially increasing sea temperature. This causes the zooxanthellae, or symbiotic algae that live with the coral, to be expelled. The coral becomes white or “bleached”, and is unable to obtain the nutrients it needs, as it relies on its photosynthetic zooxanthellae.
Increasing sea temperatures are the cause of mass bleaching, but the following threats are responsible for small-scale bleaching:
- Decline in zooplankton, causing starvation.
- Ocean acidification.
- Bacterial infections.
- Changes in ocean salinity.
The most severely affected coral reefs include the Great Barrier Reef, reefs in the Indian Ocean, around the Maldives, Seychelles, and Hawaii. Up to 90% of corals have been lost from these locations.
A huge range of sea life depends on coral reefs for survival, so the disappearance of the corals would have a dire effect on the oceans. In turn, this would impact on many people who rely on the sea for their food and livelihoods.

Dark Oils by Jeff Christensen
It’s a dark, Guillermo del Toro-esque world that Jeff’s macabre denizens inhabit, living out tormented existences or living to torment others. His oil paintings reflect an underworld of impossible anatomies and wretched landscapes while still possessing an almost innocent, Alice in Wonderland-style whimsy.
