A sitting president shouting that people should be jailed for telling the military to follow the law.

You can hear the panic in every capital letter.

This vile man, who has sexually assaulted over 20 women and an unknown (so far) number of girls, *never* had control over himself.

One of my favorite ocean weirdos, Phyllodesmium briareum. I prefer to call it the Spaghetti Nudi, but what do I know. It happens to look like the coral it feeds on, proving once again that macro critter spotting isn't about finding the critters, but moreso their food source!

How will we hold accountable those that are in powerful positions and were either complicit or participated in the crime?

In today’s ep, we celebrate our glorious return from hiatus by tackling black holes in weird places. Shashank covers a lot of acronyms for BHs on top of other BHs, while Cormac does his 2nd Astrobite with a sausage in the title, establishing a worrying precedent.

Image Source: Wikimedia Commons This image of Centaurus A shows a spectacular new view of a supermassive black hole's power. Jets and lobes powered by the central black hole in this nearby galaxy are shown by submillimeter data (colored orange) from the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope in Chile and X-ray data (colored blue) from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Visible light data from the Wide Field Imager on the Max-Planck/ESO 2.2 m telescope, also located in Chile, shows the dust lane in the galaxy and background stars. The X-ray jet in the upper left extends for about 13,000 light years away from the black hole. The APEX data shows that material in the jet is travelling at about half the speed of light.
