Isolationism

I will never let Sarah’s story be forgotten. She was the loveliest and most caring person I have ever met

Two months on. From when the lockdown begun. I lost my beautiful Sarah to Alpha_1 Antitrypsin disease. I will never let Sarah’s story be forgotten. She was the loveliest and most caring person I have ever met. I am totally lost without this most wonderful human being. I am privileged to have been such a big part of her life.

My soul disappeared when you went. I’m forever stuck in this isolationism without Sarah.

Bigger than the average tadpole

Frogs, or any other little green living things, have yet to be discovered.

The Tadpole Galaxy is a disrupted barred spiral galaxy located 420 million light-years from Earth toward the northern constellation Draco. Its most dramatic features are a trail of stars about 280,000 light-years long and massive, bright blue star clusters.

It is hypothesized that a more compact intruder galaxy crossed in front of the Tadpole Galaxy—from left to right from the perspective of Earth—and was slung around behind the Tadpole by their mutual gravitational attraction.

During this close encounter, tidal forces drew out the spiral galaxy’s stars, gas, and dust, forming the conspicuous tail. The intruder galaxy itself, estimated to lie about 300 thousand light-years behind the Tadpole, can be seen through foreground spiral arms at the upper left. Following its terrestrial namesake, the Tadpole Galaxy will likely lose its tail as it grows older, the tail’s star clusters forming smaller satellites of the large spiral galaxy.
