For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

Have you noticed plane turbulence is getting worse?

It’s not your imagination. It’s climate change.
Our new study finds that the upper atmosphere is becoming more sheared and less stratified because of climate change. Both these changes are making the air less stable and more conducive to turbulence.

For those unfamiliar with the Halo games, the Flood is a parasitic alien lifeform so bad that superweapons known as Halos were built as a last resort to kill all sentient life in the galaxy in an effort to stop them. And the official DHS page is memeing about it while referring to immigrants. Vile.

For decades, Earth’s hemispheres reflected sunlight almost equally. Now, #NASA’s #CERES mission shows that symmetry is breaking and the north is darkening.

So why do I let AI in my house? Don’t I care about the environmental consequences? What about the theft of intellectual property? Don’t I understand that these are bullshit machines?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
