thunderkit:

I’m glad you’re here.

I think I’m ready

You can undress me, softly

and after you’ve kissed my shoulder

turn on your flashlight

it’s possible to observe the stardust

if my body is transparent enough

And, why not?

We can have wine in the balcony

and search the sky

to find where you came from.

Before the Dawn - Painless

Without fear I watch the sun that burns horizon
Black flames from the deathstar above
With strength I’ll burn

The reason for me to see
Death in my dreams
A silent reminder
The end of all will kill the pain

Slowly I sear, I bury myself alive
And feel the weight of the world
Crushing all, to the abyss I fall

Before the Dawn - Insomnia

4:19am
I have been here before
In a corner, on the floor
Sorrow chose this hour
Sadness set this time

Into the dark
Where I breathe free
But you can’t see
I want you to leave me

Like a universe without a sun
And black hole as a soul
Creates an abcense of light
Like I was born broken inside

Before the Dawn - End of Days

First snow is starting to fall
This winter will last forever
In the end
Oblivion waits for us all

As the daylight dies
Last flame lingers in the scorched sky
Voice of death
Carries no broken promises
This is the end of day

The end of our world
And our very existence
What was it worth
Waiting for the rebirth
Of the earth
Once worn will be reborn

Before the Dawn - Decade of Darkness

A decade ago I felt like unbreakable
And I had an angel in my songs
A long time has passed, but many things have lasted
I still hear the wings of a seraphim

I am still a sleepless dreamer
Stand behind father and son
Black heart, faithless, unbeliever
Still each night before the dawn I hear the deadsong

I am alone
With monsters in my room
They have come to take me

Before I disappear
Into my darkness
I want you to hide me

I watch the morning sun
Without vengeance or wrath
I’ll wait for the black dawn to come
Don’t look behind, wish for things to be undone
Things happen for a reason under the dying sun

Katatonia - New Night

The pledge
I’ve forgotten this time
I am so uncertain
That my heart will go on
My beloved one
If you were here you’d find
That I’m not feeling well
But that will have to go on

[Chorus:]
And though summer unwinds now
I have no reason to follow
I have only you
My sun is pale
My heart’s old

Why
So quiet this new night
There’s a white cloud
Under my eyelid
My beloved one
There is swirling dark
Shrouding my freedom

Cold is the undertone
Hold my hand
I’m in the waiting line
Mute I stand
Barren ground

[Chorus]

I am incapable of being something that works. My parts are put together in the wrong way and order. They never gave me directions. I didn’t know how I was supposed to be made. My gears do not fit together the way I have put them. Hence, I am incapable of being something that works.

Solution. 45 - Wirethrone

One night
I found what was missing
The thread that attaches
Us all together
Without us knowing
Our nexus
By this we stand parted
We challenge
What we do not know
These mindless masses
Will now take us
For a journey

Nowhere fast to the end
Let nothing lasting remain
Ripping the wires,
From failing structures
And build my self again

One night
I found what was missing
The thread that attaches
Us all together
Without us knowing
Our nexus

[Chorus:]
I have never been
Alive like this
The strings attached
I will make my own
I have never been
Alive like this
Behold my legacy
I have built a wirethrone
My wirethrone

My wirethrone

One too many times
I have failed to answer
To your questions why

Here on my throne of scorn
Concealed walls cannot hide
I have torn out,
All that supports me
To never be whole again

The more I am straining,
The less I attain
What has been built,
All in vain
The more I am gaining,
The less I sustain
Another wellspring to drain

[Chorus]

My wirethrone

The more I am straining,
The less I attain
What has been built,
All in vain
The more I am gaining,
The less I sustain
Another wellspring to drain

[Chorus x2]

The Violent Violet Sun

“After dodging clouds and hailstorms all week I was able to record my first solar image at the CaK wavelength… 393.37nm in the violet end of the spectrum. I see almost no detail visually due to my eye’s poor sensitivity at this wavelength. But the camera sees good!” — Alan Friedman

Fear Factory - Timelessness

[The quote that runs throughout the song:]
“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part;
you can’t even passively take part,
and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus,
and you’ve got to make it stop.
And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it,
to the people who own it,
that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!”
[Mario Savo, 1964]

I’ve felt darkness
Closing in on me
Chilling shadows
Surrounding me
I’ve had the poison
Leak into my skin
And it corroded my heart away
Bled away
Cut away
Dark night of my soul…

The Brothers Rapture - BioShock Short Film

Before the underwater city of Rapture collapsed beneath itself and Splicers roamed its flooded halls, men and women thrived as they explored beyond the limits of their creative and scientific achievements. But who were they before their society crumbled around them?

Return to a corner of Rapture to uncover the story of the brothers Charles and Arthur as they come to realize the true cost of art and power without boundaries.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is the largest known vortex in the Solar System. It’s big enough to engulf several Earths as shown in this artist’s rendition. — Michael Carroll

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's David Bowie cover is an important moment for science:

treehugger:

That the viral response to the music video has created a moment where it is seen as advantageous for editors to program more space-related content (including a post like this, I know) is precisely the goal of using media in the ways Hadfield has. He and his team have brought the world a view of space we have never seen in a way we have never seen. With the myriad issues we face in which science plays a role in solving, we need more people to appreciate and admire science and scientists of all types, so making the subject fun and accessible in space is a great way to do it.

Lastly, as Bonnie Malkin at The Telegraph notes “Hadfield will never need to buy a drink on Earth again,” so he’s also got that going for him, which is nice.

With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.

Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.

Honestly, this is even better than you think it will be.

Politicalprof: If NASA marketed itself this way, we’d already have colonies on Mars…

All of our astronauts should be this self-aware.
