They about to offload some Knicks gear too
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

I was expecting this to be closer
There was a time not all that long ago I was hoping Aaron Rodgers would be the next host of Jeopardy 🫠
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
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.
For #WNBA Opening Day, the double dwarf planet system of Pluto and Charon are wearing their #NYLiberty and #LasVegasAces gear. Pluto and Charon are so similar in size they orbit a common center of mass, called the barycenter, that lies outside of Pluto . #Liberty #Aces #Basketball #WomensSports
He should be sent to El Salvador for threatening the president
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.

I'm sure Aaron Rodgers is about to do wonders for this organization - just like he did for the Jets
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.
He hasn’t found her attractive since she became of legal age
You mean the lying liars lied?!?
On May 14, 1973, NASA launched Skylab, the first American space station. Skylab orbited Earth for six years and supported three crewed missions during which astronauts conducted hundreds of science experiments. Also, congrats to the #Pacers for winning their series. #IndianaPacers #NBA #NBAPlayoffs
You’re back?!? Did you ever figure out what happened to your main account?
