nasa-official!!!!!! why is it that the Rosette nebula only appears red in some photos? Is that how it appears optically, or is that just how it appears in one of the spectra that we read it in?

Well whenever you see red in nebulae, thats typically due to hydrogen being excited. The Rosette Nebula is actually classified as an H II region. H II (singly ionized hydrogen) regions are caused by some source of energy, kicking the electron out of the hydrogen atom and keeping it out.

So Rosette is definitely red. To strengthen this effect, pictures are often taken using a Hydrogen-Alpha filter which (you guessed it) only lets the light in from this transition!!! But, sometimes people want to look at what’s going on in the nebula in different wavelengths too

MUJI/STATIONERY GIVEAWAY ~ MULTIPLE WINNERS

Hey guys, it’s been a while. I’m in my second semester of college now, realizing that my school stationery days are coming closer and closer to the end.

Everyone has their different tactics for notetaking, and although I have been an absolute stationery fiend since I was a kid, I noticed I prefer taking notes in class with just pen and paper, no real fancy sticky notes, index cards, tabs, or washi tape. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I was a sophomore in High School, a friend and I would go into NYC often during the summer (we live 15 miles outside the city) and literally RAID the muji stores STUFFING OUR SHOPPING BAGS WITH STATIONERY AND OTHER SUPPLIES. We would walk all the way from the financial district and hit up EVERY muji store until 42nd street. (That’s over 50 New York blocks WALKING because him and I were too shy to flag down a taxi—- and at this time there were only 4 mujis in our area, now there are 6.)

So I have, like, 30 muji pens, 15 notebooks, maybe 30 altogether if you count the various sizes, TONS of little sticky notes (like the infamous cat sticky notes that muji carries) sticky tabs, special letter writing stationery, all sorts of stuff!!

And over the years I’ve also had the opportunity to shop at various Japanese and Korean markets and stores that carry ENDLESS supplies of kawaii themed stationery.

I don’t need this stuff in my life anymore and for the past 3 years it’s all been stowed away nicely and untouched as desk accessories.

I would like to hand down these items to MULTIPLE lucky winners of a giveaway I had in mind.

Because I have SO MUCH muji stationery and other kawaii stationery, the giveaway prizes would be randomized but equally divided as much as possible. And based on the popularity of products (like the popular pens and notebooks) I would make sure each winner gets at least one or two of those “special items”.

^^^ I know that this is a really ugly pic but I just spent some time hauling out the HUGE load of unused (or very lightly used) stationery that is just laying around my house. Everything is in super good if not perfect condition, and anything that has writing in it will NOT be included in the giveaway. (Obviously)

What prizes are included?

Muji pens

Muji notebooks (in various sizes)

Muji sticky notes

Muji notepads

Muji highlighters

Muji lettersets (mini and standard size)

Muji erasers

Kawaii themed stationery:

Rilakkuma

Pom Pom purin

Sumikko gurashi

Kakao Friends (possibly, not sure if I’ll give it up hah)

EXCLUSIVE Studio Ghibli stationery found in the Japan store in Epcot, Disney World

Kiki’s Delivery Service and Totoro

Moleskine notebooks!

Special art markers (similar to mildliners)

And I’m still going through A LOT of my stuff so there will be more, I may have some pencil cases to give away!!!!

How do I enter???

All you have to do is reblog this post!! I want it to get lots of exposure so I can get rid of this stuff!

You don’t even have to follow me if you don’t want to. But I will say that in the future I will be doing a special Pusheen Box giveaway as well! (Probably in May!)

Deadline:

I will announce SIX (6) winners on March 15th AT RANDOM from the list of reblog s this post gets.

I will message each of the six winners for their mailing addresses, if a winner doesn’t respond by March 17th, then I will go on to a different random entry.

Please get this around the studyblr community, I hate seeing my lovely stationery untouched and unused, it breaks my heart. :”( It would mean a lot if you could reblog this for entry!!

Everyone have a lovely day and also, it won’t count as an additional entry, but if you follow my Instagram @jesspurr I will be posting my own hand drawn stationery and probably more pics of the giveaway prizes from there! (As well as on this tumblr account).

Keep studying friends, and good luck! ♪( ´▽｀)
