I’m starting work on a project that, if it works, will make this post really funny in about 7 years.

Voyager 2 wide-angle view of Jupiter (July 8, 1979) - From Ian Regan - https://flic.kr/p/2ebde9P
This was one of the last wide-angle views of Jupiter that Voyager 2 snapped, before the planet became too big to be photographed in a single frame. Jupiter appears truncated due to inconsistent and inaccurate pointing of the probe’s scan platform, which housed the camera systems. The orange, green, and violet frames were taken early in the morning of July 8, 1979. The planet was 1.35 million miles distant. The dark, fuzzy spot is the shadow of Galilean moon Callisto.

Currently in an art class at college. This is one of the hardest learning curves I’ve seen. I’d put it up there with my first calculus class. How do people do this man

OK, looks like 3I/ATLAS is a comet! If it were an asteroid the image would be symmetric circles. The distortion is likely due to ices sublimating to form a gaseous tail.

Maybe we shouldn't get into a situation where one guy can threaten the entire U.S. space program because the president wrote a mean tweet about him.

NEW: Those undulations aren’t clouds—they’re Jupiter’s aurora as seen by #NASAWebb. Webb observed light from a particular molecule, represented in orange, and found that the planet’s aurora fluctuates on timescales of minutes or seconds: webbtelescope.pub/4kbsB20 🔭 🧪

THEY LOST A THIRD F18 😭😭😭
joshdobbin.bsky.social Josh Dobbin @joshdobbin.bsky.social · May 7
According to the mathematics of comedy, when they lose a THIRD fighter jet by tumbling it off the side of a boat, that will be genuinely hilarious.

What’s going on in there Kramer? It’s the ice war, Jerry. Europa float behind Kramer, an ice cold blue permeates the frame.

If I have any writers following me, how on earth do you manage more than a thousand words in a day? I can push to 1500 on my best moments but I can’t think for the rest of the day.

Anyone know why my WiFi would disconnect every 2 minutes on the dot?
I’m using a USB netgear wifi adapter on my home network.
