Moderately Interesting Weirdo

Tim, 19. Swansea University Physics Student.

Enjoys Indie music, puns, and -surprised expression-, everything physics related. I find just about EVERYTHING super interesting, so, that's what I blog about!

Obsessed with the Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" series of books. Equally obsessed with How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. Sherlockian. Possesses the awesome powers of high-functioning Aspergers.

INTJ and proud!

I hope you enjoy yourself here! It's pretty random a lot of the time, but I do my absolute best to be interesting.

distant-traveller: The glow of the Lagoon nebula Gas and dust condense, beginning the process of creating new stars in this image of Messier 8, also known as the Lagoon Nebula. Located four to five thousand light-years away, in the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer), the nebula is a giant interstellar cloud, one hundred light-years across. It boasts many large, hot stars, whose ultraviolet radiation sculpts the gas and dust into unusual shapes. Two of these giant stars illuminate the brightest part of the nebula, known as the Hourglass Nebula, a spiralling, funnel-like shape near its centre. Messier 8 is one of the few star-forming nebulae visible to the unaided eye, and was discovered as long ago as 1747, although the full range of colours wasn’t visible until the advent of more powerful telescopes. The Lagoon Nebula derives its name from the wide lagoon-shaped dark lane located in the middle of the nebula that divides it into two glowing sections. Image credit: ESO/IDA/Danish 1.5 m/ R.
