I'm still rooting for 2024 YR4 to hit. Now it's like cheering the underdog.

Re: People forgetting how to Google - at the 9th grade class where I teach astronomy I gave the students a task to do on right there on the computers: Find a star that is visible tonight, and complete a simple ID (name, brightness, etc.). 1/

All these good news are not happy coincidences. They are news about lots of people coming together to make a tiny bit of the world a less awful place. There are not great men here. No one hero saving the day. But it saddens me the on the other end, a few bad people can undo the work of thousands.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

If I was a NASA astronaut, I'd probably strike in solidarity. There are not a lot of professional astronauts around the world, and it will only take a few to make a statement.

On the one hand, half the country that defeated the Nazis, voted for the party with all the Nazis. On the other hand, yesterday I saw a pretty rainbow.

I have to finish my term paper, four caskets arrived from Hamas. I need to help my mom with medicine and groceries, a new law is being passed freeing murderers from prison. My dad need me to fix his phone while he is in recovery, Trump administration is dismantling democracy.

There IS Mount Doom. It's on Titan. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_Mons

And onboard both JUICE and Europa Clipper are Israeli instruments and parts. This is gonna be amazing!

duly noted

Here are 70 clones of #asteroid 2024 YR4 that do hit Earth, highlighting the impact risk corridor. There are some big cities along that line: #Bogota, #Lagos, #Mumbai.

Carmel, snails, and rainbow. These are a few of my favorite things 👱🐌🌈

Almond Foxgrain זה אחלה שם לדרואידית

Unfortunately the Constitution did not foresee a situation where the president does whatever he wants and says "What are you gonna do about it dork"

The article say that private industry was on board with the previous directives that considered climate change. Now they shut down everything, and I wonder which industry lobbyists will rush to DOT head, money in hand, to ask that their particular beneficial directive is reimplamented.

I can't believe this is going to be long-lasting historical legacy of Homestar Runner. FUCK.

As a non-American, one of the worst things for me is that now I have to the take the word DOGE seriously.

I guess Trump's plan to stop immigration, is to make the USA an undesirable country.

Talking about astronauts being "stuck" on the ISS is like talking about a teenage boy being "stuck" at a nude beach for supermodels.

This is so sad
