mindbleach, 8 miesięcy temu w From a Million Miles Away, NASA Camera Shows Moon Crossing Face of Earth - NASA

Neatly showing off how our moon is exceptionally dull. Here we are, the only dot in the sunbeam that’s not black or white, and our sole natural satellite is this flat dark powder-gray.

And it’s tide-locked! We don’t even get to see all of it. Imagine if Mars had its twin enormous boulders, and they always looked like cardboard cut-outs. Thank goodness for all this water and life and crap, or we’d be a C-tier heavenly body.

SacralPlexus, 9 miesięcy temu w NASA’s Curiosity Rover Discovers a Surprise in a Martian Rock

Since October 2023, the rover has been exploring a region of Mars rich with sulfates, a kind of salt that contains sulfur and forms as water evaporates. But where past detections have been of sulfur-based minerals — in other words, a mix of sulfur and other materials — the rock Curiosity recently cracked open is made of elemental, or pure, sulfur. It isn’t clear what relationship, if any, the elemental sulfur has to other sulfur-based minerals in the area.

Now, is it really those colors is that just science stuff like all those dope pictures of nebulas?

Poor thing looks bruised. Who hit you?!

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love photos like this :)

Thanks for sharing this!

I would like NASA to try to fix me now. I too am a socially isolated remote worker who occasionally says insane things

Edit: Guys, all of a sudden I feel different

I found several of the ideas in this article lacked sufficient explanation, if there even was any, for laypeople to understand.

Zachariah, 10 miesięcy temu w NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Finds Most Distant Known Galaxy

Over the last two years, scientists have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (also called Webb or JWST) to explore what astronomers refer to as Cosmic Dawn – the period in the first few hundred million years after the big bang where the first galaxies were born. These galaxies provide vital insight into the ways in which the gas, stars, and black holes were changing when the universe was very young. In October 2023 and January 2024, an international team of astronomers used Webb to observe galaxies as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. Using Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph), they obtained a spectrum of a record-breaking galaxy observed only two hundred and ninety million years after the big bang. This corresponds to a redshift of about 14, which is a measure of how much a galaxy’s light is stretched by the expansion of the universe

Not true at all, there were plenty of trains built on the Earth. The one on the moon will be far from the first.

They really expect us to believe this shit!? Those are definitely large alien spiders that are coming to the surface to mate and multiply as they prepare to attack Earth. I need to join up with United Citizen Federation, quick. I suggest you all do the same…

TLDR: It’s gas deposits, not Martian spiders… yet.
