holy shit
Here’s a thing I’ve had around in my head for a while!
Okay, so I’m pretty sure that by now everyone at least is aware of Steampunk, with it’s completely awesome Victorian sci-fi aesthetic. But what I want to see is Solarpunk – a plausible near-future sci-fi genre, which I like to imagine as based on updated Art Nouveau, Victorian, and Edwardian aesthetics, combined with a green and renewable energy movement to create a world in which children grow up being taught about building electronic tech as well as food gardening and other skills, and people have come back around to appreciating artisans and craftspeople, from stonemasons and smithies, to dress makers and jewelers, and everyone in between. A balance of sustainable energy-powered tech, environmental cities, and wicked cool aesthetics.
A lot of people seem to share a vision of futuristic tech and architecture that looks a lot like an ipod – smooth and geometrical and white. Which imo is a little boring and sterile, which is why I picked out an Art Nouveau aesthetic for this.
With energy costs at a low, I like to imagine people being more inclined to focus their expendable income on the arts!
Aesthetically my vision of solarpunk is very similar to steampunk, but with electronic technology, and an Art Nouveau veneer.
So here are some buzz words~
Natural colors!
Art Nouveau!
Handcrafted wares!
Tailors and dressmakers!
Streetcars!
Airships!
Stained glass window solar panels!!!
Education in tech and food growing!
Less corporate capitalism, and more small businesses!
Solar rooftops and roadways!
Communal greenhouses on top of apartments!
Electric cars with old-fashioned looks!
No-cars-allowed walkways lined with independent shops!
Renewable energy-powered Art Nouveau-styled tech life!
Can you imagine how pretty it would be to have stained glass windows everywhere that are actually solar panels? The tech is already headed in that direction! Or how about wide-brim hats, or parasols that are topped with discreet solar panel tech incorporated into the design, with ports you can stick your phone charger in to?

I was taken aback for a moment because you said you got a B and in America a B is pretty damn good, its like 80-90%, but then I read GCSE and was like “Oh right British grading scale”
There’s a lot of math involved. We use telescopes a lot. I worked on some projects, one about gravitational lensing which is really cool. Another one I worked on was with light dips on distant systems to identify exoplanets.
There’s a few different places you can go with it, to government places like SETI and NASA, then there’s private corporations, and then academia, which is where I plan to stay. (Because I’m too short for NASA’s astronaut standards).
Theme #19: Redux Edit (v2)
STATIC PREVIEWS: ONE & TWO // DOWNLOAD
I went to revamp the older version of this theme (which I released about a year ago) and I was only going to update a couple of things. But a couple of things turned into ten. Which turned into twenty. Eventually I just re-did the whole damn thing. Theme details are under the cut! —Rachael
P.S. This is not actually a Redux Edit. It’s a theme I coded from scratch to look like Redux.
Please like or reblog if you use this theme!

Pre-color edit of Capella because it either had to be this color and look nice post-denoise or be gold and look like it was taken with a cheese grater. Also obligatory moon
