A light-toned flat-lying outcrop with linear features resembles aligned 'crazy paving', one of the 'paving slabs' has a fresh shallow circular abrasion hole surrounded by excavated dust and debris. Part of the rover's body is in shot lower-left of image.

This will kill people. It will kill *children*. RFK Jr has been told this multiple times, and he is doing this anyway.

some of us worked this out a decade ago but it’s refreshing to see a prime minister say it out loud

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Republican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.

The potato shaped moon of Mars, Phobos, as seen by ESA’s Mars Express. Its grey,  covered on craters, 2 enormous ones that occupy nearly a third of the visible side, along with long grooves etched into the terrain. In the background, a tiny far away Saturn appears in a yellowish, colourised view, adding contrast without exaggerating the planet’s size.

Crescent Io in approx. natural color. A red dot in the north locates a volcano eruption site with the red-hot magma glowing, with a blueish plume from the eruption's small particles thrown up hundreds of km up catching sunlight above it.

4 still photos of the beautiful #aurora display on Sat 10 Oct '26 from North #Oxfordshire, UK. The brightest part was between 7:35pm-8:45pm. I took 700+ photos for the timelapse I shared earlier so it was hard to pick 4! #SonyA7iii + Samyang 14mm lens #AuroraBorealis

On a positive note, judging by how furious these fucks are and how they've brought out the real big guns to force Ukraine to stop, the strikes against Russia's oil industry are clearly having a very serious impact.

Did you see this image of supernova remnant Pa 30?!

Bet you'll never look at fireworks the same way again!

A spherical structure made up of long, narrow, radial spikes emanating from its centre. This is the supernova ejecta. Many stars of the Galaxy surround it.

At least you didn't fall for it and then fall again for reasons you can't fathom even when looking at the result again the morning after, like I did, lol
