Drunemeton, rok temu w JWST Imaged Two Apparent Alien Worlds Still Circling The Bodies of Their Dead Stars

I’m calling dibs on Neptune as my family’s home base in the future!

I know it’s several billion years in the future, but I called it.

Ugh. Less money for important things, more money for war!

Shdwdrgn, rok temu w New research finds that young planets are flattened structures rather than spherical

Cue the flat-earthers who are going to jump on this while completely ignoring all other aspects including the gravity required to make this happen, and somehow claim this is scientific proof that they were right.

I don’t think flat earthers are getting their ideas from mainstream scientific websites.

It seems that space ecosystems are underdeveloped.

We know that the International Space Station (ISS) is home to a lot of aggressive bacteria and fungi

Damn, TILd

Is it Michael Reeves’ surgery bot?

I hope they can get Robert Picardo to do the voice.

Gotta scale back the saturation on those NASA filters, mate!

Only 137 light years away. And that’s at the speed of light. It is out of reach to organic life but we might send AI out there

NaibofTabr, rok temu w First Space Force guardian to be launched into space this summer

Why did they use a picture of a space shuttle?

po_tay_toes, rok temu

They’re not allowed to show off the anti-grav vehicles yet.

fidodo, rok temu

Same reason the shuttles existed in the first place. To look cool /s

“Guardians” I don’t know how to feel about that.

Yeah the Space force was created during the Trump administration…

sramder, rok temu

It’s more that it evokes two completely conflicting ideas. The optimistic idealism of my youth or the bitter cynicism of Verhovens Starship Troopers.

Pretty sure Trump just gave himself credit for it.

Yeah we would scoff at someone calling a soldier “guardian” even if they’re fighting for us, so let’s scoff at calling space soldiers “guardian” too.

sramder, rok temu

Yeah, the attempts to distance themselves from the military aspect of it is not really engendering a lot of trust… “He’s going up to do *s c i e n c e,*low gravity research or something, various experiments, don’t worry about it.“

They say he can explore small caves, but wouldn’t this little guy be solar charged and they could lose him if he doesn’t have enough juice to get back to the surface?

What the hell is the blue thing going on in the background. That thing looks way cooler.
