Astronomers have recently discovered an enormous structure in space called the "Big Ring," a vast formation of galaxies spanning roughly 1.3 billion light-years. This discovery, along with a previously identified structure known as the "Giant Arc," challenges the Cosmological

Twitter is getting more fucked by the day. It seems that I am unable to comment on certain posts, presumably because Elon is so touchy...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set to make a historic close approach to the sun on December 24, 2024 🎄. The spacecraft will come within 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) of the sun's surface, traveling at a record speed of 430,000 mph (690,000 kph). This mission aims

JWST just took a baby picture… of four exoplanets! 👀✨ Using a coronagraph, it blocked out the glare of their star and even detected carbon dioxide in their atmospheres! This could tell us how they formed and maybe even how our solar system compares! 🚀

It is only because of the FRENCH, that the United States even exists... The Oval Office is a laughing stock around the world right now because of the idiocy spouted from within it's walls...

When a massive star reaches the end of its life, something extraordinary happens. Its core collapses under its own gravity, triggering a titanic explosion known as a core-collapse supernova. While these events are among the brightest in the universe, the first signal they send us

Dark energy might be changing. 🤯 DESI’s latest data suggests the universe’s expansion isn’t accelerating as fast as we thought. But at 4.2 sigma, we need more data. Could dark energy be evolving? Or will new results prove it’s constant after all? 🌌

Did you know tea once saved the International Space Station? 🫖 In 2020, astronauts tracked down a growing air leak by releasing tea leaves in the Zvezda module. They followed the drift to a scratch in the wall. All hail tea. 🍃🚀
