Treasure Planet 2 (unproduced): The Centurion, art by Emil Mitev
It's all the more unfortunate that Treasure Planet didn't find its audience, as it was conceived as the beginning of a saga. A sequel was already in pre-production before being canceled a few days after the film's disastrous release.

About 1350 light-years from Earth lies the Orion Nebula 🤩
This stellar nursery is home to the Trapezium — a group of four young stars pumping out fierce ultraviolet radiation that is clearing the surrounding region and making the gas glow.

Six Ships. I'm very much in the Chris Foss school of thought when it comes to colour, rather than SW or ST.

From my research trip to Lake Mungo. What was once a great lake dried out tens of thousands of years ago, and is now a great baking basin and dune formation strewn with fossils, and signs of human habitation.

Some say that Gusty sounds like Bart Simpson, but actually Bart Simpson sounds like Gusty. Nancy Cartwright voiced her first. 👀👀👀

For 8 great Star Wars movies (or, more exactly, narrative arcs), that seems more than fair to me. ☺️
Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies
Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.

We should visit Valhalla.
It's a massive impact crater on Callisto, a 3800 km wide multi-ring structure (the largest in the Solar System) that's been preserved for at least 2 billion of years. It's also evidence that Callisto has had an underground ocean for at least as long.

Our ears are ringing with stellar news: #NASARoman will be well suited to study red giant stars in the Milky Way’s galactic bulge. Based on simulated data Roman will collect, this sonification converts the waves moving inside these stars into sound: https://bit.ly/3KYZIK8 🔭 🧪

#PPOD: A vast cavity on the Red Planet looks back at ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) with an icy stare. The crater is located in Utopia Planitia, the largest known impact basin in the Solar System, with a diameter of roughly 3,300 km, or twice the size of Earth’s Sahara Desert from north to south. 🧪
