I used to dabble in image processing, mostly with NASA's Cassini spacecraft data. Software engineer by day.

That scene at 0:14 gives me strong vibes of Sarah Connor in T2, dunno why.

What a fucking joke, they're more likely to kill people on the ground with those stray bullets than they'll bring down a drone.

At first glance, it looks like our Moon. But on 2nd glance, you can tell it's not. It's less than half the diameter of our Moon and since it's made mostly of ice, its mass is way smaller. Consequently, its gravitational field. End result? Rhea's topography is much more exaggerated than the Moon's.

An FPV drone with a 100 kg payload? Huge, if true (TM).

I'd bet that more people die of DHMO-related incidents yearly than they do with H2O2.

On this day in 1991., Vukovar fell after an almost 3-month siege. This footage was taken 3 years after the town was occupied by the Serbs. At the time, it was the bloodiest battle fought on European soil after WWII. Ukraine took that unfortunate crown since.

This bit has been bothering me for years. It's oval-shaped and it doesn't match any imaging artifacts on the NAC that I've seen before. It's almost as if it's a bow shock in the E ring. Any ideas?

Two narrow-angle clear filter frames were stacked and colorized based upon a red and blue frame covering only Enceladus' south polar region and plume. The overall plume color was used to colorize the rest of the clear filter frame and the saturnlit south polar region was used as color basis for the entire disc. 
The result was then contrast-enhanced to show Enceladus' faint shadow on the E-ring itself.

Even though both the plumes and Enceladus are basically a pure white color, Saturn's overall color is "imprinted" here on the moon, while the plumes are seen because they forward-scatter direct sunlight (this is a very high phase view so not even Enceladus' daylit crescent is visible)

The ring particles are small, on average, so I'd imagine it'd just be the Sun looking way darker (keep in mind the Sun would be 1/10th the diameter we see from Earth)

It kinda blows my mind that the rings were possibly not there when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.

Bullshit. Ukrainians had no say in the outcome, huh?

Ukraine weak, mud stronK. What was the ratio of NLAWs vs Javelins in the first days of the war? What a fucking moron.

Interesting video on how the "NATO phonetic alphabet" (you know, those Alfa, Bravo, November, Lima, Foxtrot, Yankee etc.) words you hear in aviation and in the military eventually got selected.

Here is a fantastic summary by @fcain.universetoday.com of all the important and interesting findings that have been published about #3I/Atlas.
And surprise surprise, none of them indicate that its an alien spaceship! 🔭
