This is one amazing photo.
Jets of water vapour and ice crystals blasting out through four deep fractures in the icy shell of Saturn's tiny moon Enceladus.
This is the only alien ocean we know of that we can directly access.

At this moment, 17:15 UTC (12:15 Eastern US time) Earth is at perihelion: the closest point to the sun on its elliptical orbit, about 147.5 million kilometers (center to center, which is how astronomers measure things).

Galaxy Quest, like Iron Giant , Fury Road and Tremors, is one of those rare movies without flaws. It's not just good, but miraculous.
Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.
Sigourney Weaver Says She Wishes DreamWorks Released A Director’s Cut Of ‘Galaxy Quest,’ Reminisces On Sequel That Never Came To Pass
Sigourney Weaver reflected on cult classic Galaxy Quest and how she wishes the sci-fi satire had released an R-rated director's cut.

This second image is quite unusual. The Mars Express viewing angle makes it look like Phobos is passing over Kasei Valles, but that region is actually farther north than Phobos’s orbit.

A cool result of everything having AI in it now is there are a bunch of buttons on every application that I have to be careful to never push, and everything takes five more seconds to load during which there's an animation of bonzi buddy thinking really hard

Happy anniversary to The Expanse, one of the (if not THE) greatest scifi TV shows ever! The first episode aired OTD in 2015.

For the first time, astronomers have detected a coronal mass ejection from a star other than our Sun, and it was a big one – powerful enough to strip the atmosphere from nearby planets. That's bad news for the search for extraterrestrial life. Here's why: physicsworld.com/a/astronomer... 🧪⚛️🔭

Burst from M-dwarf star could be powerful enough to strip the atmosphere of any planets that orbit it, with implications for the search for extraterrestrial life

it's not a taking ownership kind of pride, me sending like $60 a year certainly doesn't entitle me to that. it's just been so wonderful to watch some nice Midwestern boys work hard and have it pay off spectacularly. I just think what they've accomplished is so cool!

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

With the AI Google summaries, people aren't just cherry-picking the failures. The only time it is 100% is when there is an extremely easy and well-known answer to your inquiry. If it's anything you'd actually need to dig to find, it will hallucinate a fake answer basically every time.
