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?

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.

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

I hope the human race is destroyed before we have a chance to infect other planets.

Don’t worry we all will be long dead before that happens.
