The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope successfully observed the extremely faint near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 (circled in green) on 26 February 2026 with its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam).

JUST IN: Asteroid 2024 YR4 will not impact the Moon in 2032! 🧪🔭

New observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that the object will pass safely at a distance of more than 20 000 km.

Carbon dioxide overload, detected in human blood, suggests a potentially toxic atmosphere within 50 years - Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health - Anthropogenic activities are increasing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. There is mounting experimental evidence that lifetime exposure...

We probably should stop that experiment we've been running on Earth's atmosphere soon.

Rising atmo CO2 seems to = rising bicarbonates and falling Ca and P in human blood, exceeding healthy ranges within this century. Not immediately lethal, still really bad.

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

2D digital illustration. On the left is a person with black hair tied into a ponytail wearing orange glasses, a brown t-shirtm, and black shorts. They're sat cross-legged with their head resting in their hands. They look disinterested. Behind them is a brain interface AR halo. In the middle is a large ceramic pot decorated with many tiny blue/indigo five-pointed stars. In the pot is a bizarre bulbous greyish growth resembling small spherical blobs sprouting off of larger spheres, down into the pot. Long strands dangle from the smallest blobs. On the right a gloved hand is holding one of these smaller blobs which has had a corner cut out of it, revealing its fairly featureless interior.

Bulb Coral (actually a type of fungus) is a medicinal GMO found throughout the Solar System, its main produce is one of the key ingredients in space osteoporosis medicine, which allows folks to spend long periods of time in zero or partial gravity without suffering irreversible skeletal damage.

I just want to say, very clearly, I am pleased the Greens printed election leaflets in Urdu. Unlike the Mail, I think democracy benefits when voters are well informed.

Those on Luna also appreciate it for its visual similarity to their home's grey surface, while many Kuiper belt windrider cultures speak of the symbiotic relationship between a ship's crew feeding their leftover food and other organic waste to the Bulb Corals, who in return give them their medicine.

Wanted to draw an alien Miku!!

ough i should try and read more books outside the sci-fi genre but idk where to start or have anything in mind that piques my interest rn

This artwork depicts crescent Jupiter and Ganymede, both featuring their auroras. On Ganymede (foreground), the auroras take shape of dim bands at ~30 degrees north and south glowing reddish from excited oxygen in its thin exosphere. On Jupiter (background), the auroras are close to the poles and are pink in colour, emitted by excited hydrogen. A minor moon, Amalthea, can be seen as a small yellowish dot located on Jupiter's disc.

Ganymede is the only moon in the Solar System with an intrinsic magnetic field. This produces auroral rings as diverted energetic particles interact with oxygen in its exosphere. Its parent planet, Jupiter, also has auroras.

oh all the floating white things are brain interface AR holograms

so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected

PSA for Discord's new age verification!

If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.

Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+

It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

The ultraviolet aurorae on Ganymede, based on Juno’s close-up observations from 7th July 2021. As Juno flew by Ganymede at high speed, its UV spectrograph could only acquire narrow strips, combined here to display the overall shape of the aurora Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/UVS/ULiège/Gusbin/Bonfond

Nice glow up: Using data from NASA's Juno mission, scientists from the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Planetary Physics (LPAP) have observed fine details in the auroras on Jupiter's giant moon Ganymede for the first time. missionjuno.swri.edu/news/univers...

Doodle depicting a woman in some cramped spaceship interior in zero-g. She's drinking out of some pouch of liquid and is thinking to herself "This tea tastes like shit...". At the top is a date that reads "02/02/2656". To the left is some text that reads "Reading a paper she co-authored in that details more experimental proof in strong support of Persimmon-theory, which describes how general relativity and quantum field theory can be reconciled". Beneath is another panel depicting a long spindly spacecraft. Underneath this panel reads "A 2-month trip riding the solar wind at 500,000 m/s from Saturn to Uranus."

i'm working on doing more complicated drawings again don't worry

Wow Signal

so you want to get to Titan L5 from a capture orbit achievable from outside Saturn's magnetosphere without spending more than a km/s on OMS delta-v: the movie (drift time can be cut to 27 days if another 200 m/s of dV is budgeted for phasing)

alright 👍

also this is very cool, i've sometimes wondered about what sort of manuevers you could take to get closer to somewhere after arriving via plasmadyne

how do you go about making these sorts of visualisations?

big fan of spaceships that accelerate quite slowly. no need to rush. just getting there at my own pace...

Instructions unclear, made a donut. But seriously, fuck the donut. Horrible tutorial.

The first piece in Operation Fuckass Broken Washing Machine is done! Hire me for 1/10th of my usual rate (if you want this style, aren't using it in a commercial work, and are relaxed about the details)!

That's $45 for one, $35 for the next.

Offer good for as long as my whimsical mood lasts!
