Marsquakes indicate that the inner core of the red planet is solid, not liquid

An analysis of seismic waves propagating through Mars finds evidence that the planet has a small, solid inner core, which challenges existing planetary models. #Mars #InSight 🧪🔭

Been getting into this 20th century composer of late. An interesting, short work with appealing visuals.

Taking a break by re-reading some old SF classics -- Arthur C. Clarke (Earthlight, The Nine Billion Names of God), Octavia Butler (Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents), Ray Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles).

Behold #IC410, the #TadpolesNebula! 🐸✨ This cosmic nursery, 12,000 light-years away in Auriga, is a stunning mix of glowing gas and dust sculpted by stellar winds. Spot the ‘tadpoles’—dense knots of material! The beauty of creation on a universal scale. #Astrophotography

"...these “new” moons are sort of like buying a used 2005 Buick LeSabre: definitely not sporting a new car smell, but hey—it’s new to *us*."

I visualized this a few years ago to give an idea as to how it might appear to be there with Daphnis

Embedded in the Keeler Gap of Saturn’s rings is the tiny 8km moon Daphnis. Daphnis, with its tiny gravity, tugs on the ring particles as it bobs up and down making visible waves.

It was discovered by the Cassini imaging team in 2005.

Michigan is the first state with a law that mandates automatic voter registration for people when they exit prison.
Michigan Law Is First to Automatically Register People to Vote As They Leave Prison
The legislature passed a bill that will also expand automatic voter registration in other ways, including applying it at Medicaid offices, and likely add many new Michiganders to voter rolls.
