Greetings, all!

Here's an animation depicting NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan. With all of the NASA cuts going on in Trumpistan, is this still going ahead? Would be a massive shame if not.

Stylised and far-fetched animation of an orbital ring around the Earth. Such structures, if we ever build them, will in reality be invisible from such a distance.

Animation of a type of binary star system called a DQ Her star. A white dwarf is in mutual orbit with a larger red dwarf. The strong gravitational field of the dense white dwarf draws hot gas from its companion, which forms an accretion disc around the white dwarf.

Ice spires (around 100 metres tall) on Jupiter's moon Callisto. It is thought that these formed from an ancient impact billions of years ago. They are very slowly eroding over time, the ice subliming and dust within the ice accumulating to absorb Sunlight and continue the erosion.

Just upgraded to the latest version of Linux Mint. It all ran in the background whilst I was still using the machine, took about three minutes, and didn't reboot 534 times while doing it. (You know who I am talking about.)

This is what a modern OS looks like.

Here's an animation of an orbital ring. It surrounds the Earth in a continuous loop and could serve as a platform to launch vehicles from low-Earth orbit.

Must just be me, then
Modellers! Do any of you recall the horror models from the 70s by Aurora? Frankenstein, Mummy, etc? Some were re-released a while ago by third parties using the original molds. The first model I ever made as a kid was this Hunchback of Notre Dame so I had to buy it again. Immense fun building it!
