Ridley Scott's Alien (1979): LV-426 exterior, miniature plan
This allows us to see how close the two spaceship models - USCSS Nstromo & Derelict - were to each other.

Today is International Biodiversity day!
What does that have to do with rockets?
Some of the satellites we send to space are used to track biodiversity... and our designers like to do cool infographics that compare payloads to animal weight!
You’re whale-come! 🐋

Very little, it turns out. Recently, a team reported that microalgae deep underneath Arctic ice were growing and reproducing at light levels at or close to the theoretical minimum required for photosynthesis — less than 0.001% of the light of a sunny day.

I Trapped A 15-Year Old in an Experimental Mobile Suit. If he stays in it until the end of the One Year War, he gets to live!

Why do some corals grow into tall and narrow columns, and others into massive domes? The answer is buried deep in each coral polyp’s biological programming.

fun fact: elliptical and lenticular galaxies are galaxies in the late stage of their life. they are dying, they have little gas because they are no longer forming stars. Those remaining are very, very old!
Many were once beautiful spiral galaxies, now a hazy light as they go gently into the night.

This is the Weierstrauss function, a “monster” that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. First published in 1872, it prompted scrutiny of assumptions in calculus. Similar functions are used to study random motion and analyze risk. www.quantamagazine.org/the-jagged-m...

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!
With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:
