dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET?
LIKE THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A PERSON’S BACKYARD. LIKE YEA A LITTLE DUSTY MAYBE THERE WAS A SANDSTORM BUT THAT’S COOL I’M JUST GONNA WALK DOWN TO THE STORE P S Y C H YOU’RE ON MARS BICH!
It really makes you THINK that in all seriousness, we have so much yet to explore. And seeing actual pictures like these cement it for a lot of people who didnt even think twice about it before. Hell, when footage from Comet 67P (the gif below) showed up I know I cried. Because it was a moment of awe, because we finally have actual footage from the surface of a comet! And it felt and still feels like “hey, humanity has come so far and we still have so much to go. And I may not explore the universe but we’re the people who are going to make sure the people in the future do.”
There’s so many beautiful, amazing places to go here on Earth, but I cant wait for the day that we set sail into the distant unknown.
These photos of the surface of Venus really fuck me up
Okay but the New Horizons mission! Sure we don’t have pictures from Pluto’s surface but we have pictures of Pluto!!
Of its blue atmosphere!!
And of its surface!!
In less than a decade ago, Pluto used to be a blurry dot, but it’s so much more! It’s a dynamic place that has mountains, volcanoes, craters, planes and so much more! It’s a real place and we know what it looks like!!!
being on here 5 years does not make you heauxes a tumblr ancient. im sorry but you have to have been here when ppl still said “creys” and “what is air” and you actually remember this cursed imaged

man. Remember the first time you watched Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Dir. Taika Waititi and hela asked thor ‘what were you the god of again?’ and then it went to loki smirking and you KNEW something good was coming. And then immigrant song started to kick in and the LIGHTING started and you felt your SOUL leave your body and go to another plan of existance. Then Thor desending lighting and all onto that pile of aliens in slow motion looking goddamn RENAISSANCE painting? That moment changed me! the DRAMA! The rest of that scene? Valkyrie, Loki, and Hulk fighting together? Thor’s LIGHTING striking those aliens straight outta there like they were fucking ants? ICONIC! The iconic truly JUMPED out of that movie! Taika Waititi took my hand in that movie, told me it was all gonna be ok and then changed my life FOREVER! That was ART! Mr. Waititi thank you for my LIFE
