This is a real image of what a new solar system looks like.

The light from the central star is blocked, so it's possible to see the lanes of cleared-up dust around it.

And that small, yellowish blob at lower right?

That's a whole, brand new planet.

This.

Across the country, stories are under attack: books banned, archives erased, and critical funding slashed.

Organizations, including Voice of Witness, have had funding terminated by federal agencies.

This is a view looking down on a portion of Saturn's rings.

Find the white structures along the edge of the ring, near the top.

Now look at their shadows, cast on the rings themselves just below them.

Those white structures are giant towers of icy ring particles, some rising more than 2 km.

My latest WorldView column is a chat with the great @willdalrymple.bsky.social, whose new book, which shows how India -- not China -- was at the heart of East-West contacts in antiquity, is out in the US. It also explores the underappreciated Indian cultural footprint across Asia. wapo.st/4j9IkO4

Snap! Mine too!!! I remember meeting you on your first day at the dig.

Was so excited to see the finds on display at Worthing Museum when I visited a few years back.

But, but, but I thought it needed protecting 'From' not 'By' @durotrigesdig.bsky.social

Poachers, gamekeepers... comes to mind!

Years ago, in an undergrad class, we read Robert Paxton’s Anatomy of Fascism. At the time, I couldn’t understand how the intelligensia—the scholars, the educated, the socially and politically conscious people of a nation—were rendered powerless in the face of Nazism.

I understand now.
