Saturn’s rings were thought to be under 100M years old (younger than butterflies) because they're so pristine, but this model says they’re a billion years old with a built-in epilator vaporising the space-blemishes to stay pretty, and either way I’m like slay girl www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Simulations of micrometeoroid impacts into Saturn’s icy ring particles find limited pollution of the particles by non-icy material, suggesting Saturn’s rings may appear younger than their actual age.

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

The worst attack on 'tenure' at the London School of Economics in years was just revealed by the
@ucu.org.uk LSE branch. It is ongoing and impacts all LSE academics, from Research Staff to Full Professors. Please share widely, as we're in trouble here (1/12)
