Dusty star stands out from the rest
Astronomers used images from NASA’s WISE space telescope, to locate an aging star shedding loads of dust (orange dot at upper left). Only one other star, called Sakurai’s object, has been caught erupting with such large amounts of dust.
The process is a natural part of aging for stars like our sun. As they puff up into red giants, they shed dust that is later recycled back into other stars, planets, and in the case of our solar system, living creatures.
In this image, infrared data from WISE and a past all-sky survey mission from 1983, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), have been combined. Color is used to show similar observations taken almost thirty years apart; the recent WISE data are color-coded green and red, while the older IRAS data are blue.
The picture reveals that the newfound dusty star, called WISE J180956.27–330500.2, was not seen at all by IRAS (it is the only bright star in this field that does not have a corresponding blue halo). The star has brightened by a factor of 100. This appears to have been caused by a sudden eruption in the star around 15 years ago. Dust freshly created in this event is heated by starlight and glows at infrared wavelengths.

Anonymous asked: Recommend any reegar/veetor fics?
I totally can, anon, though I actually have not posted anything I myself have written, there is some (see: almost nothing but SOME) QUALITY stuff out there. And yeah they’re all kmeme fics because I can’t be bothered to read or write things that aren’t porn. #Reegarfacts
Decontamination pts 5/5, Kal can’t keep his hands off Veetor when they wait for decon. What makes this awesome? Veetor isn’t an injured little prop or something, he’s a fully fledged guy and that is appealing for reasons. Porny but sweet.
Small Victories, pts 2/2, just a nice little vignette detailing them after the trial.
Do Ut Des - pts 10/10 - This is probably the best Veetor/Kalfic I’ve run into, and if anybody knows any better then please send them my way. Ultimately there’s not a lot out there but this one is fantastic. The vulnerabilities of exploring each other and life on the flotilla is nicely detailed here. Basically my favorite fic out there.
AND THAT’S ABOUT IT. Really, it’s not a super popular pairing but as anyone who’s suffered through a week of my tumblies, it’s all that matters in the universe except Han’Zaals and OCs I am shy about.
P.S. If you wrote this or something please contact me so I can sign off on whatever ‘here is my soul where is my fic’ deal I forgot about, because if all this wasn’t hand-written for me then the universe is kind, and I cannot believe that B|
