We had a mission for this exact area of study. MAVEN. The science proves Elon wrong here, but he’s too <redacted> to understand it.

Amazing time for comics. DC’s All-In & Absolute Universe. Marvel’s Ultimate Universe & One World Under Doom. I could go on & on. My FAVORITE comic atm? @cullenbunn.bsky.social‘s “The Hexiles!” The only problem I have w/ this title is that it’s NOT ongoing! More of THIS, PLEASE, @madcavestudios.com!

A crescent Triton (left), moon of Neptune, from Voyager 2 in 1989, and a crescent Pluto from New Horizons in 2015. This illustrates just how much rougher the surface of Pluto is than the melted-down Triton.

When Voyager 2's scan platform jammed during its 1981 flyby of Saturn, many image sequences missed, including a high resolution mosaic of one of its moons, Tethys. On this one, it did at least clip one corner of its battered target.

The battered surface of Callisto, moon of Jupiter, as Voyager 2 flew by in 1979. She sharper appearance of the crater rims in the upper right is real, though I have no idea what the different appearance signifies.

Iapetus, moon of Saturn, from Voyager 2 in 1981. The terminator (day/night boundary) is on the right. The dark area on the left and extending to the bottom of the disk is just not very reflective.

Perseverance has been sending back some gorgeous new views of Mars... I love this view. Look at the hills on the faraway horizon... As the song says, she can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles... ;-) Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/S Atkinson

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Social media is a giant piece of fly paper weaponized to remove you from the field of play. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Life does not happen on this or any other social media platform. If you believe you’re “resisting” online… Surprise! You’ve been captured.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

The cratered surface of Rhea, moon of Saturn, from Voyager 1 in 1980. Rhea, the largest of Saturn's "icy satellites" (all moons except Titan), it was given top priority. Unfortunately, it had the least active surface of Saturn's large moons.

Triton from the receding Voyager 2 in 1989. Some of the night side of Triton can be seen in reflected light from Neptune. However, the images showing this are two badly smeared to recover details (I desmeared some to make this, but no convincing features can be seen).

My poster on the life appearance of Megalosaurus, as presented at SVPCA 2024. A paper on this, and the history of M. reconstructions, is currently in the system and should (hopefully!) be published later this year.

Enceladus, moon of Saturn, from Voyager-2 in 1981. Voyager saw its relatively old, cratered north polar region under the best conditions, although young, smooth terrain can clearly be seen on the left hand side of this image (.just with high sun/no shadows, making interpretation harder)

Maasaw Patera, a smaller shield volcano on Jupiter’s moon Io. The caldera alone is 40km wide and probably 2km deep. Long dark lava flows of sulphur or sulphur-rich silicates radiate out. Imaged by Voyager 1 in March, 1979. flic.kr/p/2qGUdie
