Everything else is a galaxy.

Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Whoa: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a spectacular view of Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) as it passed close to the Sun. Look at that enormous, splintered tail!

This comet won't be seen again for another 600,000 years. 🧪🔭

Hello, Venus!

Heading toward #Venus for a flyby, our #SolarOrbiter mission caught the planet on camera using the SoloHI instrument of the US Naval Research Laboratory.

SoloHI was designed to capture the faint light of the solar wind. The much brighter Venus “smears” starlight around the edges.

Remember our call to attract talent? The Commission took a first step in the right direction! 🧲
 
Let’s move forward with a Make it in Europe campaign & Express Visa for top talent. A possible game-changer for companies, as it would cut bureaucratic red tape & allow to hire skilled talent quickly.

Artist's view of an Ariane 6 flying into space over Earth. This image depicts the Ariane 6 with two boosters, known as Ariane 62.

Ariane 6 soared to the skies once again! 🚀

This time, with a triple boost from Vinci!

After the deployment of its passenger, Ariane 6's Vinci engine’s third boost put the upper stage into a reentry orbit to safely burn up through Earth’s atmosphere, preventing accumulation of space debris.

An image including many of LucasArts' adventure game characters with the text "LucasArts Adventure Fans" across the bottom. I did not make this image; it's been floating around the internet for at least a decade (minus the text I added). If you know who made it, please tell me so I can give them proper credit! Thank you :)

NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules Proposed guidelines aim to inject badly needed common sense into password hygiene.

Thanks NIST, it was about time!

Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types) for passwords.Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT require users to change passwords periodically
