Have you ever wanted something so badly that it became a physical ache? When the faintest glimmer of longing grows into a throbbing orb in your chest and at times you imagine that people can sense it radiating from your skin.
This week i have been mostly wishing upon a self-luminous celestial body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity in which the energy generated by nuclear reactions in the interior is balanced by the outflow of energy to the surface, and the inward-directed gravitational forces are balanced by the outward-directed gas and radiation pressures. Will the heavens concede?
