Conspiracy theorists: “scientists know it’s all wrong but they’re preventing the truth from coming out to protect their precious ‘theories’”

Actual scientists: “crap, our theories were dead on yet again, damn it, will someone please finally blow even a tiny hole in this thing so we can move forward”

From this angle the telescope looks like a guy wearing a Vietnamese hat and doing yoga.

I’m amazed that we can detect a 10 m wide object at 4 million km away. Let alone track its trajectory.

I’d rather swim over the Mariana Trench wearing cinder blocks for shoes.

Somewhen in there are creatures we’d really get along with were it not for the 58.71M light years between our galaxies, and the unlikelihood we both exist as simultaneous civilizations.

How tiny? Inside earth tiny?

As small as event horizon of 1 micron tiny to 1/10 the earth's diameter tiny for this paper.

Aww that’s cute. Barnard’s star has kind of an interesting history of exoplanet claims that were sadly ruled out after further examination. Great to hear we finally have good evidence.

I’m digging the way the map shows Tasmania as part of the continental plate.

What does this post even mean? Did you confuse astronomy with astrology?

Everytime I see this, I can’t help but giggle a little at that magnificent lump, just florpin’ on by, awkward as hell. I love our moon, so much.

Olap, 10 miesięcy temu w Planet Nine: Is the search for this elusive world nearly over?

Surely the absence of nine indicates our model of gravity is off. Combined with lack of Dark Matter, is Einstein wrong?
