Raspberry Rum Nebulas and Other Cool Space Shit

[livvykitty]

SO I heard that there are a lot of really neat places in the universe and I think that they would make for great backdrops to a sci-fi rp!! Here are some of the more notable ones I read about:

- Sagittarius B2, a giant dust cloud at the center of the Milky Way, may have the building blocks of life. These building blocks also happen to be a component of fucking raspberry rum. We are made in part of fruity alcohol. It'd be so neat to have like a speakeasy type dealio all the way out there near the center of the Galaxy, literally adding some compounds to make some artificial and famous raspberry rum. Like my dude it's so cool holy shit

- Gliese 581, a planet in a system of two stars, a planet forever in stasis- one side always faces away from its Suns and one side that always faces towards it. There's only a thin band along the middle that could possibly hold life. Step into the cold zone and immediately freeze- step into the hot zone and melt. Or, live in a secret assassin's base in the livable band, growing black plants and watching twin Suns parade around a red sky. I love??? The aesthetic of this murder planet?? Holy fuck???

- Europa, not a planet, but a moon of Jupiter that may have liquid water under its surface due to Jupiter's gravitational pull constantly pulling and pushing at the ice, generating heat. There's no atmosphere, but just imagine??? How terrifying life that didn't need an atmosphere to breathe would be??? Like take water bears, who can survive in space, and make them Not Microscopic. They could fuck some shit up my dudes

- Planet 55 Cancri E, a super earth planet with a large core that takes up 1/3 of its mass, a core made entirely of fucking diamond. Just floating out in space. A literal diamond in the night sky. Think of how many oaths could be said!! How many people would want to give their sweethearts such an expensive gift!!! Imagine how badly Vriska and Meenah would want to fucking steal that sucker out of the goddamn sky, just take that entire fucking diamond for a lifetime of bling. The ultimate treasure.

- the Ninth Planet; where the fuck? NASA says it's possible but they just can't?? Fuckign find it? What kind of life would originate there? What the fuck???

- hyper velocity stars and moving black holes. Those are Things. Those could make for such weird and oddly specific obstacles and yet it??? Sounds terrifying??? Like star nymphs just fucking with us, or for moving black holes, dead star nymphs looking for vengeance. Speaking in which: STAR NYMPHS. PLEASE CONSIDER

But yeah, those are great for rp!!! Man I love me some space stuff!!! If you know anything else, please add on!!!

Man If I was clever with spacey sciencey stuff I would be all ABOUT sci fi rp. That shit is so cool. the universe is so BOSS man.

UPDATE: I just learned about two ecosystems, deep sea hot vents and steeps, that are entirely independent of the sun's energy!! Here's what that means: there's thriving ecosystems so deep in the ocean that no sunlight or animals from sunlit zones drift down to, so the animals get all their energy from specialized bacteria that turn methane and other gases into food

So!!! What does this mean?? Just imagine Europa, with its hot core and probable ocean. It doesn't have an atmosphere, but what this does mean is that perhaps there's a possibility for life there as well!!! Idk must look into further
