The image showing WISPIT 2 and its disk with WISPIT 2b is not a single direct and clean photograph, but rather the result of a quite sophisticated data reduction process.

Steel hissed as it carved the air.

She knew sentience was no gift, only the curse of feeling every wound, every death that pulsed around her.

Yet she did not hesitate.

Her spear rose.

"Sometimes a tattoo looks #malformed, like a puddle on the street."
"Like a mocking grin."
"An alleyway in Tokyo."
"When the wind hits your eyes."
"I love you, even when I cross my eyes."

They both burst out laughing.

"Pixie?" He said, puzzled, staring at the laptop screen.
“Really? The name of the mouse #Pixie as a prompt for a #vss365?”

"Oh… It's also a hairstyle, and a British leprechaun."
He started laughing, louder and louder, until he choked on his own tongue… and died.

WR 104 is a star 8,000 ly away, its axis aimed like a cannon barrel at Earth. It could explode in a gamma-ray burst, but timing is unknown.

#Laugh while you can, tomorrow’s silence has no promise.

"SpiderFoot ask for permission?" she asked, stealing the last French fry.
"Na... It’s like a cat, sniffs around, and glares at you."
"So it’s a stalker."
"Na... A private investigator… paid in sardines."
"And if you don’t give it sardines?"
"Then it will claw at your secrets."

It seems that a man killed a woman because he was convinced she was an alien (according to what he told the police), but I did some research and it turned out to be her son, and the obituary mentions that she used to dance in her backyard with wind chimes. 😐

Why? This is the photo without your absurd censorship.

It's a woman on the beach.
