Always remember: reducing your personal carbon footprint is the morally correct thing to do, but it is also irrelevant compared to all the environmental damage done by big corporations (who highly prefer you to feel guilty about your actions than to be held accountable for theirs).
Webcomic by Safely Endangered. 4 panels arranged in 3 rows. A stylized man reads from a report to another stylized man sitting on a big chair at a desk. In the background are big windows showing a grey landscape. - We accidentally dropped another million gallons of oil into the ocean - That's bad, right? - I think so - Damn. Well, there's only one thing we can do now - Say we're sorry? - No, we ask the public to reduce the carbon footprint to offset the issue - Of course! Both men smile.

Ah yes, education by example.

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

RIP David Lynch
People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn't so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. —David Lynch

Image of a large galaxy on the right, with two smaller companion galaxies to the left. The large galaxy is ring-shaped, with an oval outer ring, and a small, off-center oval inner ring. The rings and space between are lit with blue plumes and dots. The companion galaxies to the left, one above the other, are much smaller than the main galaxy, and about the same size as each other. The galaxy above has similar coloring and many of the same features as the large ring galaxy, but more of a disturbed s-shape, with no distinct rings. The galaxy below is brighter with a whiter tinge. It has a diffuse spiral shape with a white core similar to that of the ring galaxy, but with a smoother texture. The background is full of more distant, orange-red colored galaxies of various shapes and sizes. A close-up shot of a spiral galaxy. A bright core is seen edge-on, with spiral arms surrounding it. These arms are full of dark brown dust and hazy blue star formation. Thousands of distant stars crowd the view against black space. A rosy, bloomlike tendril of red nebulosity shines near the center-top. A nebula made up of cloudy gas and dust in the form of soft and wispy clouds and, in the center, thin and highly detailed layers pressed close together. Large, bright stars surrounded by six long points of light are dotted over the image, as well as some small, point-like stars embedded in the clouds. The clouds are lit up in blue close to the stars; orange colors show clouds that glow in infrared light.

What's a Sidereal day? Earth completes one full rotation relative to distant stars in 23 hours 56 minutes—this is a Sidereal Day. But, because of Earth's orbital motion, the Sun appears to shift position each day. To align with the Sun again, Earth needs an extra 4 mins, making a Solar Day 24 hours:

The season for polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) is about to begin. NASA climate models show the temperature of the north polar stratosphere rapidly dropping. It is only days away from reaching the cold threshold for Type I PSCs.

Several bright-white, bluish, and orange stars shine with diffraction spikes, interspersed throughout dark dust. Particularly dark regions of gas and dust are seen near the lower left. The Crab Nebula. An oval with complex structure extends from lower left to upper right against a black background. On the oval’s exterior lie curtains of glowing yellow and green fluffy material. Its interior shell shows large-scale loops of mottled filaments of yellow-white and green, studded with clumps and knots. Translucent thin ribbons of smoky blue lie within the remnant’s interior, brightest toward its center. The blue material follows different directions throughout, including sometimes sharply curving away from certain regions within the remnant. A faint, wispy ring of blue material encircles the very center of the nebula. Around and within the supernova remnant are many points of blue, green, purple, and white light. A spiral galaxy seen nearly face-on. The disk holds many tightly wound spiral arms. They contain small strands of reddish dust, near the center. On the left side, the disk features glowing patches of star formation. The whole right side, and part of the center, is obscured by a large cloud of dark gas which crosses the image. Hundreds of stars and galaxies in varying shapes, sizes and colors on a black background. Two of the largest, most prominent stars can be found in the top left quadrant and near the bottom right edge, respectively. They are tinged with blue and have an eight-point diffraction spike pattern. Near the center of this image is the ZS7 system, made up of a merger between two galaxies and their black holes. The ZS7 system is not easily seen by the naked eye in this image, as it looks like very small red dots.

"Mt Bachelor Reflection" This landscape photograph is for the snow riders in Bend, Oregon enjoying an early opening at our local ski resort, Mt Bachelor! This image was captured at Todd Lake, on the Cascade Lakes Highway, about 25 minutes from the city of Bend. #MtBachelor #BendOregon #winter #snow

In just 12.5 hours, Webb captured the deepest, sharpest infrared view of our universe to date! 🌌🔭 Imagine holding a grain of sand at arm’s length—that’s how small this field appears from Earth. Yet, it reveals galaxies billions of years old, pushing the boundaries. #JamesWebb #DeepField #CosmicTime
Deep field image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. The image reveals a dense cluster of bright galaxies surrounded by numerous distant, faint galaxies stretched by gravitational lensing. The background is filled with specks of light representing some of the most ancient galaxies ever observed, appearing as tiny, colorful dots.
