Pretty low key morning here at the homestead. Most of the family is lounging in the living room around the pellet stove, trying to keep warm. We've been having issues lately with our furnace and baseboard heat, so the pellet stoves have been a godsend.
The picture above is Exoplanet PDS 70c, 370 light years away. It's a protoplanet with a disc around it. The small dot adjacent to the exoplanet is a moon in the process of formation. It's an astonishing look at what the Earth-Moon system likely looked like 4.5 billion years ago.
I'm feeling OK, tho I had a close call day on Friday last. I got so sick I thought I was literally going to die. It passed in a few hours, thank the Lord.
A bit rambly, today, sorry. Anyway, the picture above made me think how the atoms in my body, like everyone else's, were formed in the heart of an exploding star billions of years ago. I want to have faith, but perhaps it's enough that, in that form at least, I can find some permanence. God bless you all with a peaceful and restful Sunday. See you tomorrow, Good Lord Willing.
