This run is gonna rock big time

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

This is a photo of the surface of Mars taken by the Viking 1 orbiter in 1976.

It looks like something out of a sci-fi film you'd see today.

(And yes, that *is* a smiley face in that crater...)

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans

We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power

I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇

An American flag built on the backs of Black people...

Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways

All this in New Orleans... What a moment

This is what a protoplanetary disk looks like edge-on.

A young star, blasting jets of material from its poles, surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. Where planets are being born.

People spoke Spanish in this land long before they spoke English.

does anyone else think that it’s crazy that we live in an era where we can watch a sunset on ANOTHER planet?

Brilliant orange spires and hoodoos drop jaws of those fortunate enough to behold their presence at sunset.

- Mañanas lentas de café mirando a la nada.
- Una buena noche de sueño.
- Un cuerpo en forma.
- Paz mental.
- Libertad para elegir lo que quieres hacer.
- Rodearte de personas a las que quieres y te quieren.

Estas cosas no se pueden comprar, debes ganártelas a diario.

The Perseverance rover captured some pretty massive dust devils earlier today. That large one in the foreground was at least 500m high. #PlanetSci

Here’s a view of Uranus’ moon Miranda, a 470 km-wide spheroid of ice and rock with some of the most contorted terrain in the Solar System. This view comprises 8 images captured by Voyager 2 on January 24, 1986 from 32,000 km away.

We need to mention the names of the Jan 6th rioters and the details of what they did to cops. http://dlvr.it/THYylW

This is what a dust storm on Mars looks like.

As seen by the Curiosity rover in 2018. Images taken over nearly a month, with roughly the same view.

europa is the best of jupiter’s moons, sorry i don’t make the rules.

Image of a large galaxy on the right, with two smaller companion galaxies to the left. The large galaxy is ring-shaped, with an oval outer ring, and a small, off-center oval inner ring. The rings and space between are lit with blue plumes and dots. The companion galaxies to the left, one above the other, are much smaller than the main galaxy, and about the same size as each other. The galaxy above has similar coloring and many of the same features as the large ring galaxy, but more of a disturbed s-shape, with no distinct rings. The galaxy below is brighter with a whiter tinge. It has a diffuse spiral shape with a white core similar to that of the ring galaxy, but with a smoother texture. The background is full of more distant, orange-red colored galaxies of various shapes and sizes.

At the center of the image is a horizontal orange cloud known as Herbig-Haro 46/47 that is uneven with rounded ends, and tilted from bottom left to top right. In the middle of this cloud is a yellow-white blob with 8 reddish pink diffraction spikes piercing through it. The left lobe of the cloud is thicker. Just off the edge is a tiny red arc that curves in the opposite direction. The right lobe is thinner, and ends in a smaller orange semi-circle that has a faint purple outline. Just off the edge of this lobe is a slightly smaller orange sponge-like blob. A delicate, semi-transparent blue cloud known as a nebula drifts toward the top of the image and peters out toward the left of the frame. Toward the right and bottom, the nebula ends in a soft ridge set off in a translucent orange. The background is filled with stars and galaxies. Two foreground stars with blue diffraction spikes, seen in the bottom right corner, are especially prominent.

A field of galaxies on the black background of space. In the middle is a collection of dozens of yellowish galaxies that form a foreground galaxy cluster. Among them are distorted linear features, which mostly appear to follow invisible concentric circles curving around the center of the image. The linear features are created when the light of a background galaxy is bent and magnified through an effect called gravitational lensing. A variety of brightly colored, red and blue galaxies of various shapes are scattered across the image, making it feel densely populated.

Red dual opposing jets coming from young stars fill the darker top half of the image. At bottom center is a glowing pale yellow, cave-like structure, its top tilted toward two o’clock, with a bright star at its center. The dust of the cave structure becomes wispy toward eight o’clock. Above the arched top of the dust cave, 3 groupings of stars with diffraction spikes are arranged. A dark cloud sits at the top of the arch of the glowing dust cave, with one streamer curling down the right-hand side. The dark shadow of the cloud appears pinched in the center, with light emerging in a triangle shape above and below the pinch, revealing the presence of a star inside the cloud. The largest jets of red material emanate from within this dark cloud, thick and displaying structure like the rough face of a cliff, glowing brighter at the edges. At top center, a star displays another, larger pinched dark shadow, this time vertically. To the left of this star is a more wispy, indistinct region.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
