This celestial image captured by NASA astronaut Don Pettit using a camera with low light and long duration settings pointed out a window on the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft shows the Milky Way beyond Earth's horizon crowned by an atmospheric glow. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are also distinguishable as the International Space Station orbited 257 miles above the Pacific Ocean.

Researchers at Microsoft say they have created so-called topological qubits, which would be exceptionally resistant to errors, but their claim has been met with scepticism.

As of 2/20, the asteroid should pass us at 09:00 Β±2ish hours, missing Earth (it has to pass us at 14:00 to hit).

That's not true. The Taurus Molecular Cloud is 140 parsecs away (about 430 light-years), not 140 light-years. So Rho Ophiuchi is indeed the closest star-forming region to Earth.

ππ°οΈ Almost 40% of glaciers in Central Europe were lost between 2000 and 2023.
A new study, using data from various satellite observations -including our CryoSat mission- reveals alarming insights about the declining rate of glaciers.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.
Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayinβ.
