I didn’t know we hadn’t tagged the color of the Milky Way Galaxy. I always figured it was a gorgeous light chocolate brown with a…oh fuck it that joke sucks. Seriously though, I didn’t think we were puzzled by it. Well, we were! Now!, now we’re not.

This Supernova Is Missing Its Cosmic Companion In The Oblivion Waltz.
Take a drink in of that glorious supernova. Pretty swank, no? Gaze into the tempting eyes of solar systemtic oblivion. I’m just making up words, but roll with me! Roll with me, and feel for this supernova, which seems to be missing its companion star. Frown time!

Maybe it’s because it’s late as fuck as I’m typing this and it’s dark and I’m cold and I’m pretty sure my own Star has turned its back on me, but this image is striking a chord with me. I mean, goddamn. Look at that picture. Look at *all* those fucking stars.
China Is Sending Astronaut To The Moon. America? We Got Awesome Reality TV!
Now listen. I’m not totally bitter about the United States’ fucking shitty space program. But I’m totally bitter about the United States’ shitty space program.
