So I just stumbled onto what may be the most awesome soap ad ever. I am now struggling with my basic, uh, thriftiness, combined with my desire to support these guys!

ICE continues to attack and assault CHILDREN of color. Fuck this shit.

Instagram wouldn't let me share it - shocker - so I had to screenshot.

Oza reiterates the astronomer's plea: we need more observing time.
Then he makes it personal.
"Maybe [I'm] just like my mother, she's never satisifed."

Here are some excellent opportunities for dual observations with Clipper and JUICE, as presented by Haji Korth.
None of these are final, so keep those fingers crossed!

Porter: The general trend of the dust in the system is to drift inwards. It could be that Nix is somewhat contaminated with Hydra dust.

By the way, today is @spacewhalerider.com 's birthday!!

"I've always wanted to talk for 45 mts on my bday!" :)

I couldn't find a happy birthday image with an actual whale in space, and I'm too lazy to make one, so I just found a nice happy space whale.

Denton: There are a lot of things that affect the Pluto-Charon impact, and a lot of ways their results can affect Pluto-Charon today.

Denton (@spacewhalerider.com ) points out that Pluto-Charon are similar to the Earth-moon system, in terms of both size and angular momentum. Earth-moon formed via impact.

Speaking of the upcoming observatories and missions, McKinnon lauds the upcoming Roman Space Telescope, which "should offer a spectacular view".

Turned back to Bill McKinnon, who reminds us, "There's so many wonderful worlds out there."
