The Full Moon is the primary phase of the Moon, occuring when the Sun and the Moon are on different sides of the Earth. In this phase, the Moon is fully illuminated by the Sun, shining at its fullest for two to three nights.

In other significances, the Full Moon is thought to be a powerful sign of all the moon phases. It brings with it a time of being complete, celebrating achievements, and reaping rewards. It's often compared as the Yin to the Yang of the New Moon, and represents a period of closure and coming full circle.

On the day you were born, there was a Full Moon! In many other ways, like how the Full Moon is a symbol of power and sense of completeness, it's also the reflection of you and how your birthday marks a time of celebrating your journey and accomplishments you've achieved. Just like the full moon, it's also the reflection of your character- you bring a sense of closure and peace, and you possess an inner light that draws people in and inspires them.

The Galaxy Cluster Cl 0024+17, allows astronomers to probe the distribution of dark matter in space. The blue streaks near the center of the image are the smeared images of very distant galaxies that are not part of the cluster. The distant galaxies appear distorted because their light is being bent and magnified by the powerful gravity of Cl 0024+17, an effect called gravitational lensing.

Dark matter cannot be seen because it does not shine or reflect light. Astronomers can only detect its influence by how its gravity affects light. By mapping the distorted light created by gravitational lensing, astronomers can trace how dark matter is distributed in the cluster. While mapping the dark matter, astronomers found a dark-matter ring near the cluster's center. The ring's discovery is among the strongest evidence that dark matter exists.

Like all the galaxies shared in their vastness and diversity, it contains countless elements, stars, and multiple parts of the cosmos that are also the multitude of qualities in yourself. Galaxies are ever-expanding and evolving, similar to the ways you've grown and spent an endless curiosity to explore new ideas, relationships, and possibilities.

Also known as Messier 31 (M31) and NGC 224, the spiral galaxy is located about 2.5 million light years away. M31 is located in the constellation Andromeda and is best observed in November (Your birthday month!). Boasting an apparent magnitude of 3.1, the galaxy can be seen with the naked eye, even in areas with moderate light pollution. Because it is such an easily observed feature in the night sky, it is impossible to say who discovered the Andromeda galaxy. However, astronomer Abd al-rahman al-Sufi’s The Book of Fixed Stars from the year 964 contains the first known report of the object.

Named after the mythical princess, the Andromeda constellation contains the Andromeda Galaxy, the nearest galaxy to our own Milky Way. Also known as the Chained Woman, Persea (wife of Perseus), or Cepheis (daughter of Cepheus), the princess found her way into the stars after the goddess Athena promised Andromeda that she would have a place in the sky after her death. Andromeda was a mortal goddess, but true to her word, Athena put Andromeda among the stars after her death, making her immortal.

At 31, you've arrived at an unforgettable mark- just like Andromeda, a steadfast and luminous point in the sky. Each year adds more brilliance to your own journey, aligning with the Andromeda Galaxy's significance. I like to think that with Andromeda's story and her ascendance to the stars also represents the ways you've shown resilience and uprising to be the person you are today, with a deeper sense of self and ambition.

Scorpio- or Scorpius, in astronomy, is the zodiacal constellation lying in the southern sky between Libra and Sagittarius. Its brightest star, Antares (Alpha Scorpii), the 15th brightest star in the sky, has a magnitude of 1.1. Its name comes from the Greek for "rival of Ares" and was probably given because of the star's red colour and brightness.

In Greek mythology, the Scorpion is associated with the death of Orion. There are many versions of this tale, but the one connected to Scorpio tells of a boastful hunter Orion, who bragged that he could kill all of the animals in the wild kingdom. The earth goddess Gaia objected and sent a Scorpion to stop Orion. He confronted, and fought the Scorpion, but died when the great beast stung him in the head. The Scorpion was placed in the heavens as a reward from Gaia for his service, and Zeus placed Orion there as well to commend his valiant fight.

Those born during the timeline of Scorpio, have strengths can be found in their devotion, determination, and observant natures. They are hard workers, often artistic, and deeply committed to study and research. You can count on the Scorpion to see whatever they have committed to through to the end. Scorpios tend to be receptive and patient, letting others play their cards and show their intentions first to better understand the emotional and psychological dynamics of their relationships. Those with the sign of the Scorpion prominent in their charts tend to be magnetic, highly sensitive, intuitive, creative, and secretive at times.

The Bubble Nebula was discovered in 1787 by William Herschel, a prominent British astronomer. It is being formed by an O star, BD +60°2522, an extremely bright, massive, and short-lived star that has lost most of its outer hydrogen and is now fusing helium into heavier elements. The star is about 4 million years old, and in 10 million to 20 million years, it will likely detonate as a supernova.

The Bubble Nebula is 7 light-years across - about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri - and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. The seething star forming this nebula is 45 times more massive than our sun. Gas on the star gets so hot that it escapes away into space as a "stellar wind" moving at over 4 million miles per hour. This outflow sweeps up the cold, interstellar gas in front of it, forming the outer edge of the bubble much like a snowplow piles up snow in front of it as it moves forward. As the surface of the bubble's shell expands outward, it slams into dense regions of cold gas on one side of the bubble. This asymmetry makes the star appear dramatically off-center from the bubble, with its location in the 10 o'clock position in the Hubble view.

Hehe, this was meant to be something cute, and also in good fun of remembering a memorable nickname you had shared with me. There's an adoration in knowing it, but also wanting to let you know that it's also reflected in a nebula out in space, how neat is that?

IC 1805 (also known as the Heart Nebula or W4) is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia, around 7,500 light years away from Earth. It has an apparent magnitude of 18.3 and an absolute magnitude of 6.5. The glow of the nebula comes from the radiation of a small open cluster of stars known as Melotte 15. The cluster contains very young, blue, hot supergiant stars that are about 1.5 million years old and is located near the nebula's centre.

The nebula was given its name the Heart Nebula because of its intensely red glowing gas and dark dust lanes that form a shape that resembles a heart symbol. It forms a famous complex known as the Heart and Soul with its smaller neighbour Westerhout 5, also known as the Soul Nebula, which lies just 2.5 degrees to the southeast.

The Heart Nebula was the inspiration behind the entirety of wanting to create this page for you, and knew that everything I could find would be reflective of November 18th, your birthday. What makes it significant? How does it relate to you, and why? I enjoyed learning so much about what's out there in the universe, and being able to share this project with you. I hope you've been able to take away a few new things, or appreciate a little more about yourself and the cosmos.
