If you are to apply this to a real circuit, you will have a lot of trouble. For instance the cycle will flash at about 97kHz and will appear on solid to the naked eye. Next you will overload your timer IC because it is not designed for that much load output. It's also taking several amps across the discharge transistor thru your resistor value. To correct this, change your discharge resistance to about 10k ohms. To get your timing more on par with a flasher, set the threshold resistor to about 500k-750k and the capacitor from 8uF to 1uF. You can omit the 0.5uF cap completely. Finally add a simple NPN transistor on the output to drive a bigger load of LEDs. http://everycircuit.com/circuit/4896401518231552

thank you, I'm a beginner.

You can use a value above 1k ohm. Still, it gets pretty hot.

@serge20 you're welcome! I enjoy the hobby and am eager to share it with others.

I placed a 555 monostable I don't know if it's better
