There was a knock on the door this morning and my gf yelled "Waluigi time!" And it turns out it was in fact Waluigi time

This diagram shows mass and radius of various celestial bodies in the universe. Planets, stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes are included. Each star is being crushed by gravity, but pushed back by different pressures. Original diagram is for a review in Japanese.

Overheard in my gf's room: "Dang it! This is not cute!"

Thinking about that time Janelle Shane tasked an AI with generating attractive paint color names. Here are some of the results. 💫 99pi.org/article/origin…

Felt that one‼️ After more than three years of listening to the soft rumbles of Mars, I just felt by far my biggest “marsquake” yet: looks like about magnitude 5. My team is studying the data to learn more. Science rewards patience! More details: go.nasa.gov/3kXqLVE

The All-sky camera at Gemini Observatory South got a pretty good view of the Lunar eclipse last night! Note the very sharp decrease in brightness between 12-17 seconds! #discovertogether #Eclipse #EclipseLunar #Eclipse2022 NOIRLab NOIRLab en Español

The image taken by the JWST compared to one taken by Hubble, of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723. It's s a gravitational lens, showing us the light of galaxies that are far behind the cluster in arcs around it. I tried to orient them the same. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE.
