- Contrary to popular belief, messy work environments have no effect on either creativity or executive functions: https://www.frontier…Salarrue
- given ISS was put up in space in the mid 90's vs China's last year I'd say the ISS looks pretty fucking good given the time it's put inPonyBoy
- ISS looks waaaay coolerOBBTKN
- But surely it’s easy to snag a foot or something on a cable as you’re drifting by and fuck everything up?_niko

- incredible, I wonder if those are known or named galaxies just behind it. probably just a section of unremarkable space yet full of so much wonder._niko

"Invincible" by Eddie Vedder, featuring NASA's Artemis I Moon Mission (Official Video)
Artemis 1 is currently scheduled to launch no earlier than late May 2022. The SLS rocket will launch the uncrewed Orion spacecraft on an approximately 26-day mission, during which it will spend six days orbiting the moon before returning to Earth.

First image in from James Webb telescope, "test star"beats expectations
- Explain to me how "The pin-sharp performance is even better than hoped" Really....the telescope wasn't spec'd out?utopian
- Looks shit, bro.Nairn
- @utopian they could have forgotten to take the lens cap off.mort_
- Seriously tho - and I say this as an uniformed moron - that doesnt look great.Nairn

What's happened to our Sun? Last month, it produced the largest prominence ever imaged together with a complete solar disk. The record image, featured, was captured in ultraviolet light by the Sun-orbiting Solar Orbiter spacecraft. A quiescent solar prominence is a cloud of hot gas held above the Sun's surface by the Sun's magnetic field. This solar prominence was huge -- spanning a length rivaling the diameter of the Sun itself. Solar prominences may erupt unpredictably and expel hot gas into the Solar System via a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When a CME strikes the Earth and its magnetosphere, bright auroras may occur. This prominence did produce a CME, but it was directed well away from the Earth. Although surely related to the Sun's changing magnetic field, the energy mechanism that creates and sustains a solar prominence remains a topic of research.- Oh fuck off already.
Not you, sarah, Existence.
