This is a view looking down on a portion of Saturn's rings.
Find the white structures along the edge of the ring, near the top.
Now look at their shadows, cast on the rings themselves just below them.
Those white structures are giant towers of icy ring particles, some rising more than 2 km.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Your aperiodic reminder that Mercury has a weirdly HUGE core for reasons we do not yet understand.
It's less a planet and more a molten ball bearing wrapped in a thin blanket of rock.

After 58 days on strike, Alamo Drafthouse workers in NYC have won big.
The strike began when management suddenly fired 70 workers, and now every single laid off worker will get their job back thanks to the union power of @nycalamounited.bsky.social.
