A drawing I gave my mom on Mother’s Day 😁inspired by a recent picture we took at cheer/mascot tryouts. I’m the lion 🙃🦁
A cluster of newborn stars herald their birth in this interstellar picture obtained with our Spitzer Space Telescope. These bright young stars are found in a rosebud-shaped (and rose-colored) nebulosity. The star cluster and its associated nebula are located at a distance of 3300 light-years in the constellation Cepheus.
A recent census of the cluster reveals the presence of 130 young stars. The stars formed from a massive cloud of gas and dust that contains enough raw materials to create a thousand Sun-like stars. In a process that astronomers still poorly understand, fragments of this molecular cloud became so cold and dense that they collapsed into stars. Most stars in our Milky Way galaxy are thought to form in such clusters.
The Spitzer Space Telescope image was obtained with an infrared array camera that is sensitive to invisible infrared light at wavelengths that are about ten times longer than visible light. In this four-color composite, emission at 3.6 microns is depicted in blue, 4.5 microns in green, 5.8 microns in orange, and 8.0 microns in red. The image covers a region that is about one quarter the size of the full moon.
As in any nursery, mayhem reigns. Within the astronomically brief period of a million years, the stars have managed to blow a large, irregular bubble in the molecular cloud that once enveloped them like a cocoon. The rosy pink hue is produced by glowing dust grains on the surface of the bubble being heated by the intense light from the embedded young stars. Upon absorbing ultraviolet and visible-light photons produced by the stars, the surrounding dust grains are heated and re-emit the energy at the longer infrared wavelengths observed by Spitzer. The reddish colors trace the distribution of molecular material thought to be rich in hydrocarbons.
The cold molecular cloud outside the bubble is mostly invisible in these images. However, three very young stars near the center of the image are sending jets of supersonic gas into the cloud. The impact of these jets heats molecules of carbon monoxide in the cloud, producing the intricate green nebulosity that forms the stem of the rosebud.
Not all stars are formed in clusters. Away from the main nebula and its young cluster are two smaller nebulae, to the left and bottom of the central 'rosebud,'each containing a stellar nursery with only a few young stars.
Astronomers believe that our own Sun may have formed billions of years ago in a cluster similar to this one. Once the radiation from new cluster stars destroys the surrounding placental material, the stars begin to slowly drift apart.

Gency, Happy Mothers Day
Genji: Happy Mother's Day, Dr. Ziegler.
Mercy: uh... Thanks? But I'm not a mother yet, Genji.
Genji: ... Let's fix that...
Mercy: O_O *blushing*
Genji: *Genji now with candles and roses. And sexy bg music plays*
Happy (Late) Mother's Day!
l’ll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my █████ you'll be.
Happy Mother’s Day
A little gift for my lovely mom. I hope you all have a wonderful day (Context: when i was little i was very fond of umbrellas for some reason so i made drawings of my mom under an umbrella all the time. They are like my oldest drawings so i redrew them for this day. Maybe someday ill find those drawings when i visit my hometown and compare them.)
In honor of Mother's Day, we share this photo of Chemist, medical doctor and NASA astronaut, Anna Lee Fisher, who became the first mother in space when she embarked on mission STS-51A on the Space Shuttle Discovery. Happy Mother's Day, and keep looking up! (Photo credit: NASA) Thank you @StarTalkRadio for this groovy post! #mothersday #KeepLookingUp
Happy Mother's Day to all the Groovy moms! #mothersday #happymothersday #superhero #supermoms #thankyoumum
To all the incredible mothers out there, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Tomorrow is Mothers day 2018.
A word which means #World for us!
EN|| I’ve being trying something new. I usually draw my illustrations with black outlines, either in pencil or vector. So, I’ve done a series of illustrations about baby animals with their mothers, experimenting with flat colors, only using lines in “small places” to make separations. I think I quite like the final pieces... Let me know what you think! 🤍 To start the series, a giraffe mum and her cute little child looking up to her. Always learning new things to thrive in the world.🦒☀️
ES|| Estos días he estado probando algo nuevo. Normalmente suelo dibujar mis ilustraciones con contornos negros, ya sea a lápiz o con vectores. Así que he hecho una serie de ilustraciones sobre crías de animales con sus madres, experimentando con colores planos y usando las líneas negras solo en pequeños puntos para crear separaciones entre planos. Creo que me gusta bastante el resultado final de las piezas... ¡Contadme qué os parece a vosotros!🤍 Para empezar la serie, una mamá jirafa y su adorable cría mirando hacia arriba, admirándola. Siempre aprendiendo cosas nuevas para prosperar y “florecer” en el mundo.🦒☀️
ESP || Esta ilustración, aunque hace unos años que la hice, sigue siendo una de mis favoritas. Ayer fue el día de la madre y no hay mejor día para contaros la historia detrás de ella. Hace unos años mi madre se embarcó en el proyecto de abrir un espacio propio como terapeuta, como todos cuando empezamos un nuevo proyecto tenia mucha ilusión y nervios. Yo quise contribuir con una ilustración que le diera buena suerte y pensé en esta ave majestuosa, la cual en muchas culturas esta relacionada con la buena suerte, la compasión, la bondad y la resurrección, acompañado de diferentes flores como el lotus, símbolo de la espiritualidad, e insectos polinizadores esenciales para la vida. Aunque en estos momentos casi todos los autónomos vivimos momentos de incertidumbre, espero que esta ilustración le siga dando toda la buena suerte necesaria para volver a florecer!🌻
ENG || This illustration, although I did it a few years ago, is still one of my favorites. Yesterday was Mother's Day and there is no better day to tell you the story behind it. A few years ago my mother embarked on the project of opening a space of her own as a therapist, like everyone when we start a new project, she was very excited and nervous. I wanted to contribute with an illustration that would give him good luck and I thought of this majestic bird, which in many cultures is related to good luck, compassion, kindness and resurrection, accompanied by different flowers such as the lotus, symbol of spirituality, and pollinating insects essential for life. Although in these moments almost all the freelancers live moments of uncertainty, I hope that this illustration continues to give her all the good luck necessary to flourish again!🌻
CAT || Aquesta il·lustració, encara que fa uns anys que la vaig fer, segueix sent una de les meves preferides. Ahir va ser el dia de la mare i no hi ha millor dia per explicar-vos la història darrere d'ella. Fa uns anys la meva mare es va embarcar en el projecte d'obrir un espai propi com a terapeuta, com tots quan comencem un nou projecte tenia molta il·lusió i nervis. Jo vaig voler contribuir amb una il·lustració que li donés bona sort i vaig pensar en aquesta au majestuosa, la qual en moltes cultures està relacionada amb la bona sort, la compassió, la bondat i la resurrecció, acompanyada de diferents flors com el lotus, símbol de la espiritualitat, i insectes pol·linitzadors essencials per a la vida. Tot i que que a hores d'ara gairebé tots els autònoms vivim moments d'incertesa, espero que aquesta il·lustració li segueixi donant tota la bona sort necessària per tornar a florir! 🌻

Still working on my Mother's Day card. Even if it's not done before next year, I somehow doubt it will be outdated. If there is anything you'd like to give your Mom for Mother's Day, let me know in the comments. I've got: Universal prenatal care; A halt to rising maternal mortality; Sensible postnatal advice; Twelve months parental leave; Sliding scale 24hr childcare; A fair division of domestic labor that does not foist the necessary work of housewives onto undocumented workers and underpaid women of color; Valued for your knowledge rather than your appearance or, failing that, at least not condemned for your vanity; A progressive public education system that works to address the systemic inequality faced by previous generations; Inclusive social spaces where children and the elderly are welcome, so as a caregiver, you are not additionally burdened by loneliness and alienation; Job security, so taking time to care for your family doesn’t keep you from providing for them; A functioning civil court system which, in the absence of personal responsibility, ensures a child is equitably supported by both parents; Restorative justice; Healing; Compassion; Solidarity Let me know what I overlooked.
