🌌 Ever wondered what a “galactic year” means on a cosmic scale?
⏳ It’s the time our Solar System takes to complete one orbit around the Milky Way’s center, about 225–250 million Earth years (~230 million, rounded). In ~4.6 billion years, we’ve completed only ~20 galactic years!

🌍 Earth is rotating faster this summer; some days in 2025 end a little early. You will not feel it, but clocks do.

🗓️ July 9 and 22 were the fastest days so far this year, and August 5 may follow. The Moon’s high declination boosts tidal torque, making Earth spin slightly faster. #Earth #Moon #TPC8

🔭 There has been some confusion about a solar eclipse on August 02, 2025. To clarify, astronomical agencies confirm there is no solar eclipse on that date. The much-anticipated total solar eclipse will occur on 🌑 August 02, 2027. See the attached video.

💡 Did You Know? #3.2
Neutron stars redefine density beyond imagination. A matchbox of neutron star material could weigh billions of metric tonnes!

Mind boggling? 👁️ Full story here: ✅🛡️▶️ tpc8.short.gy/RMGSrs04

The cosmos continues to push our understanding. 🌌✨

#NeutronStars #Science #Space #TPC8
This Did You Know? infographic (#3.2) illustrates the extreme density of neutron star material using a matchbox comparison. It explains that a matchbox, about 10 milliliters in volume, would weigh approximately 4 billion tonnes on average. If filled with material from the densest regions of a neutron star, the mass could rise to around 10 billion tonnes. The image features a labeled matchbox and a conceptual depiction of neutron star matter. Astronomers estimate that about a billion neutron stars exist in the Milky Way, though exact numbers vary based on different models and observational methods. From our Cosmic Exploration Series.

This Did You Know? infographic (#3.1) illustrates the density of neutron star material using a teaspoon comparison. A teaspoon, about 5 milliliters in volume, would weigh approximately 2 billion tonnes on average. If sourced from the densest inner core, the mass could rise to around 5.5 billion tonnes.

🐧 Penguins are masters of aquatic life, sharing remarkable traits: streamlined bodies for swift swimming, flat flippers for powerful strokes, and diets of marine life like fish, krill, and squid. Across species, these shared adaptations continue to captivate! 🌊🐧

#Penguins #Wildlife #Nature #TP8
Infographic showcasing common traits shared across different penguin species. Traits include being flightless birds and skilled divers, having exceptional swimming abilities due to streamlined bodies, diets primarily consisting of small fish, krill, and squids, wings evolved into rigid, flat flippers, and extraordinary adaptations for an aquatic lifestyle.

💡Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounds your brain and spinal cord—shielding, nourishing, and balancing them!
🧠 Curious how it keeps your brain running smoothly? See the image of CSF’s journey through the ventricles and subarachnoid spaces.
🌊 Let’s follow its path in this thread!

#BrainHealth #TPC8 🧪
A two-dimensional sagittal view of the human brain showing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The labeled diagram includes the lateral ventricles, third ventricle, cerebral aqueduct (aqueduct of Sylvius), fourth ventricle, and subarachnoid space. CSF spaces are marked in light blue, and venous spaces in dark blue. Additional labels include the choroid plexus, superior sagittal sinus, brain parenchyma, arachnoid membrane, and dura layers. A small legend explains the color-coded regions. CSF flow direction is visualized throughout the ventricular system and into the spinal canal. The Perpetually Curious!
