Even the universe is an ATINY!

ATEEZ even has a tune, titled “Star 1117”, that was made in honor of ATINY day (11/17). With lyrics like, “Gather all your painful memories/I’ll make you shine like a star” and “I will never forget those days/To you, the star that always watched for me”, the tune is an attractive tribute to the love that ATINYs and ATEEZ share for one another via the usage of celestial analogies.
Most ATINYs are additionally conscious that there’s sure symbolism that’s vital to ATEEZ’s ongoing lore and worldbuilding. One of essentially the most generally reoccurring symbols is an hourglass — it’s included in many various music movies of theirs, is a part of the group’s lightstick designs, and even made an look throughout their stay phases for Kingdom: Legendary War.
The lore behind the hourglass is complicated and never totally identified, however there’s no denying that it’s an enormous a part of ATEEZ’s universe.
Now, what do ATINY day and the hourglass must do with one another? Well, on November 16 this yr (which might have been November 17 in South Korean time), NASA made an attractive and awe-inspiring discovery that was completely excellent for ATINY day.
In the middle of a darkish cloud referred to as L1527, a really younger star — referred to as a protostar — is within the strategy of being fashioned. About 460 million lightyears from Earth, a photograph taken by the Webb Space Telescope utilizing its Near-Infrared digital camera was capable of seize what the area surrounding the protostar seems like, and it was none aside from an hourglass form.
The form is created by gentle from the protostar — which is hidden within the neck of the hourglass — illuminating the cavities which can be created as materials is thrust away from the protostar and collides with different matter surrounding it. The colours — principally blue and orange — are decided by layers of mud that lay between L1527 and the Webb Space Telescope, with blue displaying thinner layers of mud and orange attributable to thicker layers.
The protostar inside L1527 is taken into account a category 0 protostar, which is the earliest stage of star formation. Over time, it is going to proceed to assemble mass and the core will steadily compress till it grows scorching sufficient for nuclear fusion to happen. While the darkish band of the hourglass that holds the rising star seems tiny, it’s really in regards to the measurement of our personal photo voltaic system! According to NASA, “Ultimately, this view of L1527 provides a window into what our Sun and solar system looked like in their infancy.”
It’s unimaginable that such an attractive picture was taken on the identical day as ATEEZ and ATINY celebrated the fandom’s anniversary. The article from NASA even included the quote, “Shocks and turbulence inhibit the formation of new stars, which would otherwise form all throughout the cloud.” “Turbulence” is the title of one in every of ATEEZ’s most stunning songs, so the coincidence is simply fascinating!
The universe loves Ateez

So, whether or not you assume it was simply coincidence or if there may be some higher energy at play, it’s nonetheless an superior discovery that ATINYs can get pleasure from!
