Carrolade, 8 miesięcy temu w NASA's Hubble Tracks a Roaming Magnetar of Unknown Origin

Why would they just copy/paste a few select paragraphs (and not even the most interesting ones) from the much more informative NASA article?

AbouBenAdhem, 8 miesięcy temu (edited 8 miesięcy temu) w Scientists hail ‘avalanche of discoveries’ from Euclid space telescope

Further images reveal how massive galaxies surrounded by dark matter, the invisible substance said to pervade the universe, warp space and magnify more distant galaxies behind them.

So Euclid’s images violate Euclid’s parallel postulate.

The furthest of the four is estimated to have an orbital radius of about 0.03 AU. That’s 1/10th the size of Mercury’s orbit around the sun!

troyunrau, 9 miesięcy temu w Saturn has 128 new moons – more than the rest of the planets combined

This is a great question. It’s like asking when a rock is too small to be a planet. I suspect there were be a definition eventually that mirrors the planetary definition – something like “spherical(ish) and clears its orbit”. The issue is that Mars would lose its two moons under that definition.

So we might end up with something like “moons” vs “natural satellites” and Mars will just have to suck it up.

Moons vs. dwarf moons? (Sounds like a fantasy novel series.)

later?

What they’ll say then: The atmosphere used to be on fire. It still is, but it used to be too.

But yeah, I probably should have said “meanwhile” instead of “later”

it’s just standard “haha self harm funi”, it’s so easy to post and reliably gets a few upvotes, so it’s just a kneejerk response to posts like these.
