I don't know why this idea is suddenly flaring up online so early, but yeah, this time next year, Voyager 1 will be one light-DAY away – meaning it will take light a whole 24 hours to travel between Earth and the spacecraft. For comparison: Mars is a few light MINUTES from Earth!

The Moon’s two faces don’t match, and we think we know why
The lunar far side is maria-poor, crater-rich, and full of highlands.
With our first far side samples now in Earth laboratories, our leading explanation awaits its big test.

The far side of the Moon is incredibly different from the Earth-facing side. 66 years later, we know why the Moon's faces are not alike.

Space Stuff is so cool...
We're blue-da-ba-dee-da-ba-di because blue is the color of cosmic creation! 💙
In these snapshots from NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory, brilliant blue galaxies are bursting with star formation, lighting up the Universe with newborn stars. 🌌✨

If anyone thinks those Turkeys pardoned by Trump made it out of the Whitehouse alive you are delusional. I bet he was gnawing on a drumstick.

Historian Rutger Bregman is a well-respected proponent of a universal basic income. The Guardian has called him “the Dutch wunderkind of new ideas.”
The BBC invited Bregman to give this year’s Reith Lecture series.
Before airing, the BBC removed one sentence from his lecture, “A Time of Monsters.”

Watching Civilisation Rise and Fall on BBC2. Rome being "hollowed out from inside" by a super wealthy elite not paying their fair share and using immigrants as a handy scapegoat for why things are going wrong.

Everyone needs six puddings. At least.
Just read a post elsewhere by the excellent @dranniegray.bsky.social who is not a slave to the notion of a fixed date for 'Stir Up Sunday' for making Christmas puddings! If you agree, here's my grandmother's - and a neighbour's - recipes from a century ago. You do, of course, need SIX puddings?
