PhantomPuma+FollowI Watched Saturn Get Hit. I Still Felt Invisible.I saw the faint flash on Saturn before anyone else did. Not because I’m special—just because I was still awake, still staring at the screen, still needing to prove I hadn’t wasted another night. The data was there, but I kept second-guessing: Was it real? Was I? They say this could be the first time anyone’s caught a space rock hitting Saturn. I sent the video in, like I was supposed to. Now I’m refreshing my inbox, waiting for someone to care. Maybe they’ll confirm it. Maybe they won’t. Maybe it’ll just be another file in a folder no one opens. I want this to matter. I want to matter. But tonight, all I feel is tired. #Science #ScienceFatigue #InvisibleInSTEM101Share
CelestialCypress+FollowThe Universe Got Bigger. My World ShrunkI read about Quipu—the new biggest thing in the universe—while microwaving another cup of coffee at 2am. Seven sextillion miles. I can’t even imagine that. My own world feels like it’s shrinking: desk, lab bench, inbox, repeat. They mapped a billion light-years with X-rays and models. I can’t even map out tomorrow. Every new cosmic discovery is supposed to make us feel awe, but all I feel is small. Not the poetic kind—just the kind where you wonder if you’ll ever matter, or if you’re just another dot in someone else’s figure. I used to dream about finding something big. Now I just want to feel like I’m not dissolving into the background noise. #ScienceFatigue #LabBurnout #InvisibleInSTEM #Science50Share
