Happy Birthday Marilyn!
“I didn’t pay much attention to the whistles and whoops, in fact, I didn’t quite hear them. I was full of a strange feeling, as if I were two people. One of them was Norma Jeane from the orphanage who belonged to nobody; the other was someone whose name I didn’t know. But I knew where she belonged; she belonged to the ocean and the sky and the whole world.”
-Marilyn
“My illusions didn’t have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third- rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve! I didn’t want anything else. Not men, not money, not love, but the ability to act.”
-Marilyn
June 1st, 1926 - August 5th, 1962

The Galaxy Evolution
1. Rainbow of Galaxies
This image of the Cartwheel galaxy shows multi-wavelength observations from several NASA missions, including the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, whose data is seen in blue. The Hubble Space Telescope is in green, the Spitzer Space Telescope is in red and the Chandra X-ray Observatory is in purple.
2. Jellyfish Galaxy
Wispy tendrils of hot dust and gas glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Cygnus Loop nebula.
3. Plowing Through the Depths of Space
GALEX captured a second runaway star, similar to Mira, also speeding through the cosmos.
4. Dissecting a Galaxy
By combining ultraviolet data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer with infrared observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers get a clearer picture of the various components of a galaxy.
