If every single person who voted for this could line up so I can run at them and kick them in the nuts so hard they erupt out of the back of their necks, that would be really good, thanks. I want to make sure I get you all. Every single one of you.
The Great British Public need a collective slap this is the sort of cutesy shite they’re pulling

I wonder if the iron-rich intrusion in his back is related. PERSON 2 with ponytail: It could be clastic. Maybe a rift opened in his body, and the intrusive material later fell into the hole.

Why does Betelgeuse's brightness keep changing drastically?
Perhaps because a Solar System-sized cloud of dust is drifting between us and the star. Here's an infographic to give you an idea of its scale:

I was happy to help Filippo out and annotate the beautiful still of his image (non-annotated version sent to @apod.shinyakato.dev as I really think it is worthy).
You could do so much science communication from this one image:
- galaxies (plural!)
- aurora
- stellar evolution
- nearest system
