I love this..stunning!
This is what the centre of the Milky Way looks like

IF YOU COULD SEE RADIO WAVES

Those filaments are strands of powerful magnetic fields, and the bubbles are supernova remnants.

The really bright object at the centre of the image is Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy.

Wondering if @markhamillofficial.bsky.social would attend my oldest's high school graduation. Possible reasons he should:
1) Grad to be is named after Luke Skywalker's uncle..so already they're practically family right?
2) Pepperoni rolls
3) Check a bucket list item for mom (selfish but honest)

Taco egg rolls are so underrated. I'm pretty sure egg roll wrappers are the best vessel for just about everything. Celebrating my youngest's advancement to the state social studies fair with her favorite meal! :)

It was so cool to witness the lunar eclipse..minus staying up til 3 am and then having to get up on Friday to get the kids off to school. Wish nature would cooperate with scheduling and do these events on the weekend 😅

Such a great read!
EPIC thread critiquing Colossal's woolly mouse stuff, from someone far more qualified than me, who's also quoted in this Guardian article (in agreement with the head of stem cell biology & developmental genetics, Francis Crick Institute!) www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Something looked amiss here..took me a minute but then I noticed in the picture that they misspelled "Treason"..its an easy mistake, Trump and Treason are nearly identical.

Because we are all about wasting things lately..make sure you get some before they are destroyed!
Washington Post is reporting that the US Gov't program to send free COVID tests to households will be shut down tonight, and the remaining tests destroyed. If you haven't already ordered yours in the latest batch (autumn 2024's) it's super quick & easy, price $0.00
