[Top:] Professor talks about decomposing archives
[Bottom:] Excuse yourself so you can go cry in the bathroom
This happened to me in class today. She was talking about how she was in this small town in Guatemala and the archives were stored in the attic of a shop in the marketplace, but there was a one-foot tall airspace above the shop, so nature destroyed most of the town records. So sad.Tumblr link here](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m45btmWCMw1qhf8s7o1_400.jpg)

Hubble Images 30 Doradus: Hodge 301
The star cluster Hodge 301 is 20 million to 25 million years old. Hodge 301 is home to many aging, red supergiant stars, indicating the cluster is older. Roughly 40 massive stars already have exploded as supernovas. The expanding wave of debris is slamming into gas ejected by stars in R136, creating a ridge of star formation between the two clusters. The fledgling stars are embedded in dense gas and cannot be seen.

A Map of the Sun by Auctore & P. Scheinero, 1635
[In The Music of the Spheres, Guy Murchie] describes the surprising lack of density in certain stars, even when those stars, nonetheless, seem structurally coherent to an outside observer.He explains, for instance, that the surface of the sun “is really a thousand times more vacuous than a candle-flame on Earth, and even the concentrated moiling gases hidden a thousand miles below it are a hundred times thinner than earthly air.” In fact, other stars—such as E Aurigae I, so huge it could “contain most of our solar system, including the 5.5-billion-mile circumference of Saturn’s orbit”—are often “described as ‘red-hot vacuums,’” Murchie writes, “because their material, though hot, averages thousands of times thinner than earthly air and is normally invisible, so that you might fly through them for days in your insulated space ship without even realizing you were inside a star.”
