Happy cake day!
Ah, I see.
Ah, yes. Still not entirely sure how it relates to the CNSA though...
The "truly marvelous" solution :)
Edit: Wait, was your "yes" a response to the question in the image or the question in the title?
Imagine if Gandalf broke into song to song during the Council of Elrond.
Is this Lemmy thread too small to contain it?
You dropped this:
I love the accuracy of the pigeon "nest".
Now, new observations using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) taken in 2022 and 2023, show that Pluto's atmosphere is completely different from any other one in the Solar System.
For one thing, it contains haze particles that rise and fall as they are heated and cooled.
Pluto's atmosphere is a complicated haze of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. Based on the JWST data, the haze particles control the energy balance of the atmosphere as they heat up and cool off. That's very unusual and hasn't been seen in other solar system worlds.
The "big bang" wasn't really an explosion in the traditional sense though, was it?
Alan Turing. Brilliant mind, one of the fathers of modern computing, helped crack nazi codes during WWII. Was then prosecuted for homosexual acts, subjected to chemical castration, and died in a manner consistent with suicide :(
Is he the "wash your hands" guy?
While astronomers have found evidence for other more complex molecules in planet-forming disks around other stars, this latest discovery is the first time that rare isotopes of methanol have been detected.
The phys org article doesn't specify which isotopes.
Edit: It's carbon 13 and deuterium:
In addition to CH3OH, we detect 13CH3OH for the first time in a Class II disk, revealing a factor of three enhancement of 13C in the disk large organics. A tentative detection of CH2DOH is also reported, resulting in a D/H of 1%–2%, which is consistent with the expected deuterium enhancement from the low-temperature CH3OH formation in molecular clouds and with the deuteration of CH3OH measured in comets.
I had the same thought!
I love this.

The image was like that when I found it.
Sirius XM-10 deployment confirmed!
SES-2, SECO-2, and nominal orbit insertion.
SXM-10 deployment is scheduled for T+33 minutes.
Starbase activities (2025-06-06):
- Jun 5th cryo delivery tally. (ViX)
- B16 static fire
- Road closure is scheduled.
- NSF full livestream.
- Propellant loading begins. (NSF)
- B16 performs a 33-engine 8-second static fire. (NSF, LabPadre, ViX, Starship Gazer 1, Starship Gazer 2, SpaceX)
- Road closure concluded.
- Other: New road delay for Jun 7th from 05:00 to 09:00, presumably for B16 rollback. (cityofstarbase, archive)
- Dan Huot (Communications Manager at SpaceX) clarifies that SpaceX internal nomenclature is "Pad 2", not "Pad B". Zack Golden is in shambles. (tweet 1, tweet 2)
Brownsville:
- Starship Gazer posts 4k video of the construction work on the Linde air separation plant.
Florida:
- Four more cryo tanks are en route from South Korea. (Cornwell)
- Two starship pads are planned for LC-37, with towers 36 metres taller than those at Starbase. (NSF, spaceforcestarshipeis, Anderson)
