This day ten years ago.

On 30 October 2015 the now-destroyed Arecibo radio telescope images this giant skull looming out of the dark of space.

On 17 May 1902, Greek archaeologist Valerios Stais sifted through some artifacts from a shipwreck at Antikythera.

A 2,000-year-old corroded chunk of metal turned out to be part of the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient analog astronomical computer.

I used this view decades ago (now taken from Google Earth) to argue that full-globe Cassini imaging coverage of Saturn's moons was imperative. We won!

Hemispheric dichotomies are common across the solar system. If you flew closely over this hemisphere 👇, you'd never know Earth had continents.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

"The Metals Company, a Canadian startup, says it will seek approval this year to launch the world's first deep-sea mine in the eastern Pacific Ocean, by working with one of the few countries that never joined the ISA: the United States."

You want Shoggoths?!?

This is how you get Shoggoths!
