We're All Mad Here.

I'm Corinne, college student in Portland.
Overworked, underslept, overcaffeinated, undersexed.
This is insightful musing and incoherent rambling.

downtherebythetrain: PILLARS OF CREATION Photograph taken by the Hubble Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, some 7,000 light years from Earth.  It was taken April 1, 1995. The Pillars of Creation no longer exist. In 2007, astronomers announced that they were destroyed about 6,000 years ago by the shock wave from a supernova. Because of the limited speed of light, the shock wave’s approach to the pillars can currently be seen from Earth, but their actual destruction will not be visible for another millennium. Our very universe is utterly ephemeral and we barely notice.
