The largest chicken breed, at least in terms of height, is a cross between Japanese gamecocks & caipira chicken breeds called Índio Gigante, developed in Brazil in the 1980's. The name means Indian Giant. They can grow to 3 or more feet long (1 m+). TINY DINOSAURS!

If it's the 14th of the month, it's time for the #ESAJuice bar! The animation below shows Juice's altitude transition from 500 km to 200 km above Ganymede, an update announced earlier this year. The new phase of 30 days at 200 km will enable a more detailed investigation of Jupiter's moon. 🔭

Stephen Miller on Gov. J.B. Pritzker calling for mass protests: “His comments…could be construed as inciting violence…This war that Democrat governors and mayors are waging against federal law enforcement. I mean, this is nullificationist behavior. This is secessionist behavior.”
