"By the mid 2030s, forecasts show the world’s data centers could drive as much carbon pollution as the New York, Chicago and Houston metro areas combined."

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.
A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

Juno is an AMAZING mission. The camera onboard was never supposed to last this long (the radiation around Big J should've zapped it a while back) but it just keeps on ticking. Killing this mission while it's still working and producing great science is a crime.

NEW: The White House wants to kill off Juno, NASA's mission to uncover Jupiter's secrets. Fortunately, its legacy is clear.

Juno's a scientist, but also an artist: it revealed Jupiter as a living van Gogh painting hanging in the sky.

Two surprises about the moons of Uranus: They are not blasted by the expected radiation from the planet...but they are dusted by dark material from planet's rings.

Also, look at that cool moon shadow! 🧪

www.stsci.edu/contents/new...
The four moons in this study — Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon — are tidally locked to Uranus, so that they always show the same side to the planet. The side of the moon facing the direction of travel is called the leading hemisphere, while the side that faces backward is called the trailing hemisphere. The thinking was that charged particles trapped along the magnetic field lines primarily hit each moon’s trailing side, which would darken that hemisphere.

Chesapeake Bay is at a turning point. Once severely polluted, the bay has seen major improvements in recent years. But President Trump's proposed budget would slash key programs.

Waymo is peak American innovation. With way less money they could have built a reliable public transport network, but instead someone was like "what if we could find a way for empty vehicles to contribute to traffic too? There's no reason we can't have more cars on the road than there are drivers"
