NGC 1898: Globular Cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25122...
This huge ball of stars, NGC 1898, is called a globular cluster and resides in the central bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) -- a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way Galaxy.

A smooth galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey.
It is at redshift 0.059 (lookback time 819.8 million years) with coordinates (208.53302, 12.85447).
45 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo 2.

Imagine a radiologist is using a cutting-edge AI tool to analyze your brain scan. The scan flags a problem in your "basilar ganglia." The problem is, there's no such thing.

Anyway here’s my list on Kirby games based on which i would recommend to starting Kirby fans
(Notice how the only negative tier would’ve only contained Extra Epic Yarn? Yeah Kirby is a pretty good franchise across the board)

Image of Arp 274, also known as NGC 5679, from Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966).
In the original catalog it was in the category: Double and multiple galaxies - Connected arms. It is a system of three overlapping, interacting galaxies.

With any luck, we can replace the CEOs entirely, and just let the stupid computers make terrible decisions that ruin the world. There's no reason humans should be getting paid for that.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

This ep we dive into disks and, gasp, revisit intro physics concepts. Wait don't leave! Cole explores a misbehaving protoplanetary disk while Cormac shows how radiation can hinder the birth of planets. We then visit beefier disks around galaxies and black holes. 🔭

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

New article on how we discovered -- and are discovering -- the idea of human extinction. I consider this to constitute a revolution with implications no less profound than the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions, as I explain below. If you have the time, take a look!
A Revolutionary Paradigm Shift, on Par with the Copernican and Darwinian Revolutions, Is Happening Right Now and No One Is Talking About It
Over the past two centuries, especially since the 1950s, a dramatic shift has been unfolding in how we understand humanity's place in the universe. This article explains. (4,500 words)
