The Universe’s Furthest Object, Ever - A Galaxy Insight

A global team has collaborated to look far beyond this tiny planet, observing the furthest away object of any kind, ever.  It’s called GRB 090423, which is a bit of a mouthful, so it’s easier to say “That thing that’s two point five septillion meters away.”



That’s a ridiculous distance.  That is literally almost as far as something can actually be and still be seen, with the light traveling for most of the universe’s life just to get to us.  The number-crunchers may spot that the distance is actually further than that: at two hundred and sixty billion light years, the current estimated distance is twenty times further than light could travel since the beginning of time.  That’s because it’s so far away the universe has expanded since it happened.  It is literally so far away that reality has changed in the meantime.

I am super bored. Shoot-the-wall bored. So for everyone that reblogs this, I will go to your ask and write you a little haiku. Maybe a song or a limerick, but most likely a haiku, about you, your blog, whatever.

And, yes, I guarantee to do this for every single reblog. No matter how many.

AND GO.

If you reblog this
You will get a haiku ask
About your tumblr

permanently stuck between  ”i really want to talk to you” and “i don’t want to annoy you”

and then said person feels unwanted because no one talks to them

it’s the socially awkward circle of life

The red thread of fate is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese legend and is also used in Japanese legend. According to this myth, the gods tie an invisible red string around the ankles of those that are destined to meet each other in a certain situation or help each other in a certain way. Often, in Japanese culture, it is thought to be tied around the little finger.
The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.
