Heads up, folks!
Two Earth-directed coronal mass ejections from the Sun are expected to arrive tonight(ish) and predicted to hit Class-G4 tomorrow evening, thanks to an X1.2 flare unleashed by the AR4274 region on Sol.
Thanks to Earth's magnetic field we'll be safe.
But there might be .. AURORAS!

Music video was such a big influence on me (from its slight horror theme, and dance routine) that by the time I was around seven I had a MJ red leather jacket and could do the Thriller dance.
Don't remember this single cover!

Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

There’s a constant concept that Muslim people hate queer people and want us dead.
And sure, yes, there is a small fraction of extremists.
But apples for apples there’s probably more queer hating white evangelical extremists.
I love how Mamdani has publicly broken their brains on this.

3/ At the centre of the Tarantula Nebula, the VLTI/GRAVITY+ observed the binary star in the inset below.
This object was originally thought to be an extremely massive star. Yet the new observations reveal its true binary nature, showcasing the stunning capabilities of the upgraded VLTI.

This will dramatically enhance the VLTI observing power.

Still thinking about Lambor who caused me to panic for about 2 seconds this morning when I saw what looked like a tiger running towards me in the park.
Turns out Lambor (owner told me that is short for "Lamborghini lol) is an absolutely beautiful doggo and is full of beans and character.
