LL Pegasi is a binary star system surrounded by a spiral nebula, formed by stellar winds from one star interacting with its companion's gravity. This creates a stunning spiral shape in the surrounding dust and gas. The system is also ready for more #NBA playoffs. #Knicks #Pacers #NBAPlayoffs #Sports

There is also a band called Tycho named after this crater that I would highly recommend

Tycho crater’s central peak on the Moon rises about 1.6 km high and formed from the rebound of the lunar surface after the impact. Scientists believe it holds clues to the Moon’s interior, making it a prime target for future exploration and research. It’s also an #Athletics fan. #MLB #Baseball #A’s

New dwarf planet spotted at the edge of the solar system

The unusual orbit of a possible dwarf planet, known as 2017 OF201, makes it less likely that our solar system contains a hidden ninth “Planet X”

A potential dwarf planet has been discovered in the outer reaches of our solar system, orbiting beyond Neptune. Its presence there challenges the existence of a hypothetical body known as Planet 9 or Planet X. After last night, it’s also a #Pacers fan. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs #Basketball #IndianaPacers

We’re arguing the same point, I’m an environmentalist, I just think the message of “save the planet” isn’t as impactful. I want us to take care of the world for all life, but saying “save the planet” makes it sound like we are doing the Earth a favor whereas we are doing ourselves the favor.

Earth, as in the rocky planet, will be fine no matter what we do. It doesn’t have purpose because we are on it. The sun will destroy the Earth, but that has nothing to do with us. We could kill ourselves and similar life forms off; new life may adapt. We need to save ourselves, not the earth.

We are not “saving the planet”. We are trying to keep the planet habitable for ourselves. Earth will be fine even if we kill ourselves off.

The Synchronous Meteorological Satellite, launched on May 17 1974 by NASA, was the first geostationary weather satellite. Matching Earth’s orbital speed, it stays fixed over one spot, providing constant weather data for improved forecasting. It’s also a #49ers fan and loves the new Purdy contract.

RIP to a real one. Ed Smylie, a NASA engineer on the ground—not aboard Apollo 13—helped save the crew by devising a way to fix a failing CO₂ filter. Using duct tape and onboard materials, his quick thinking enabled the astronauts to survive and return home safely.

Just for context, the year Neptune was discovered was the same year the Liberty Bell was cracked and one year after Texas became a state. The math they could do back then was incredible.

In the 1800s scientists noticed Uranus’s orbit was irregular. With Newtonian Physics mathematicians Urbain Le Verrier & John Couch Adams predicted a new planet's position. Neptune was discovered in 1846 by Johann Galle with a telescope. Both planets are ready for the #Knicks vs the #Celtics tonight.

Skylab orbited Earth for six years and supported three crewed missions during which astronauts conducted hundreds of science experiments.
