Friendship is the most valuable gift, followed by Love & trust. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

@anishmoonka Humbling. Goosebumps.

Every dot in that image is a star. Each one probably has planets. Scientists just combed through every planet we’ve ever confirmed outside our solar system, all 6,150 of them, and asked a simple question: how many could actually support life? 45. And that’s the generous count. A stricter version drops it to 24. I spent a while sitting with that number because it sounds depressing until you realize how misleading it is. Our telescopes are basically designed to find the wrong planets. They’re really good at spotting massive gas balls hugging their stars, the kind of planets where nothing could ever live. Small, rocky worlds sitting at the right distance from their star (not too hot, not too cold, liquid water could exist on the surface) are almost invisible to current instruments. We’re finding them by accident more than by design. So 45 is where the count starts, with instruments that can barely see what they’re looking for. NASA estimates the Milky Way alone has somewhere between 100 billion and 300 billion planets. We’ve cataloged 6,150. That’s like surveying one apartment in Manhattan and concluding the city has no good restaurants. The red glow in the photo is probably the North America Nebula, about 2,600 light-years from us. That bright clump is called the Cygnus Wall, a 20-light-year-long wall of hydrogen gas where new stars are being born right now. Planets are probably forming around them as you read this. A Cornell team published the 45-planet list on March 19. Two of those worlds are close enough for the James Webb Space Telescope to actually sniff their atmospheres: TRAPPIST-1e, roughly 40 light-years away, and TOI-715b. JWST has already stared at TRAPPIST-1e four separate times, looking for gases that shouldn’t exist together unless something alive is producing them (methane plus carbon dioxide is the combo, same thing cows and forests pump into our own atmosphere). Results so far are a mess. The star itself keeps throwing off flares that scramble the data. They’re trying again with a clever workaround, watching a dead, airless planet in the same system pass in front of the star at the same time, to subtract out the star’s noise. The closest rocky planet in a livable zone is Proxima Centauri b, 4.2 light-years away. At the speed of the fastest thing we’ve ever launched, it would take about 73,000 years to get there. I keep coming back to the math on this one. Two trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Hundreds of billions of planets per galaxy. And we’ve checked 6,150. We’re arguing about whether life exists out there based on a sample size that rounds to zero.

@greenteajutsu True

when women are comfortable, women YAP ur ears off and talk about little details like oh look at this little rock I found, i saw a cloud with this shape etc etc etc. as a man, u should realise u won at life if ur woman is like that lol

@Pmubaidyyxx Social media has ruined everyone.

men were never meant to see this many beautiful women, social media got us fried. Our ancestors used to only see 10 baddies in their whole life

@Liminal1988 True.

The body always knows...

@hamxajnr True

CONFESSING FEELINGS FACE TO FACE!

@Amandalavan1 Wtf is that punishment

The Islamic regime has confirmed the death of 18 year old Melika Azizi. Her punishment was rape and then execution by hanging. Melika told the judge: "You let so many young people bleed. How can I remain silent? I don't care just kill me" A brave young lady! Now gone. A crime

@SpicyBerry Yes if you've been convinced otherwise, you may need to change the company you keep.

does male yearning exist? do guys wait for girls to reply? do they think of them often during the day?

@6looted The first and last part are more important than you think

consistency, consideration & communication.

@_OKJ__ Good Lord lol wow

You know what this means? It means that the past, in a sense, still exists…if you’re in the right vantage point to observe it. To understand why this is possible, you have to recognize that everything you see depends on light. Objects are visible because they emit or reflect light. If something neither emits nor reflects any light, you wouldn’t see it at all ,you’d only perceive darkness or, at best, a silhouette. Now, the key point is that the speed of light is finite. Light travels at a specific speed…it doesn’t move instantaneously from one place to another. If that’s the case, then everything you see is actually seen as it was in the past. The amount of delay depends on the distance between you and the object you’re observing. When you look at your phone screen, you’re seeing it as it was a few microseconds ago….that’s how long it takes for the light to reach your eyes. When you look at the Sun, you’re seeing it as it was about 8 minutes ago, for the same reason. Now take this idea further….if an alien civilization were located 2,000 light-years away and had a sufficiently powerful telescope focused on Earth…especially around Nazareth or Bethlehem…it would catch Mary and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, planning on how to convince Joseph that the pregnancy was by the Holy Spirit…when in reality, she had a sexual encounter with a Roman soldier who later rejected responsibility for the pregnancy. 🥲

@northstardoll ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@AbakpaJob 😂😂😂😂😂

Nobody can identify a girl that likes you faster than another girl that likes you.

@callmeMaharani Yes & because I want to.

Keep your partner updated not because you have to, but because you respect them.

@2lastvibes Couldn't have put it any better

@Liminal1988 😌😌❤️

Now, I just crave for peace and a successful future.

@feyiszn 100% lol, goes without saying.

If we date, I want a little extra favoritism. I want to be treated better than everyone else in your life.

@dearv144 This is what a good loving woman is like ❤️ Not that toxic crap where she will dump him because he cried.

i want my boyfriend to feel so secure in me and our relationship that he will be able to cry infront of me and i will be able to pull him into my arms and hold him close because beneath everything he is my little baby that i care for

@fw_naetoblaq Facts. As I've grown up I've realized this to be true.

Love alone isn’t enough for a relationship to work

@SovereignIM Haha true.

I don’t think a woman can actually enjoy the very best that this life has to offer, as in, adventure and do risky and dangerous things without wrecking herself, unless she has a dangerous and trustworthy man to do it with. The safety, thrill and complementarity of her lover’s presence just opens up the world to her in ways it is closed without him. He can take her to places that would be unsafe for her alone. Speak for her in places where they would not listen were the very exact same words coming from a woman's tongue. She is, in her natural state, less free without him - viewed by the world as prey with her small body, and as less serious with her feminine voice - and she knows it. Paradoxically then, man both limits and frees her, and if he does it right - limits her by structuring her in all the ways that are most freeing - by bringing coherence to her self-destructive chaos, and generative chaos where she has otherwise been restricted, muzzled, and unable to indulge her appetites.

@SovereignIM Yes. And her child, our children

She should be so spiritually powerful that no man is able to make her cry, but so in love with you that only you can. Not because you expressly desire it, but because if there’s any man she’s capable of crying for - it’s you and you alone. Other men are simply irrelevant to her.

@Liminal1988 Agreed

It's not optional, it's called "respect."
