More than 90% of water and desalination facilities in Gaza have gone out of service. As infrastructure systems collapse, thousands of displaced families are left with no option but to rely on contaminated, salty, and undrinkable water sources.
With Desalination Plants Destroyed, Families in Gaza Are Drinking Salty Water
“The water is salty, and sometimes it smells strange, but we have no other choice,” 17-year-old Ruba Al-Amsha said.

I combined my full image of the Moon with the closeup of Schiller Crater. It gives an idea of how zoomed in I am when taking images with the 8" SCT and 2x Barlow compared to the 80mm refractor. The former has a 4000 mm focal length, the latter 400 mm. #astrophotography

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Centrifugal force on the surface of this rapidly rotating asteroid would be 0.11g outwards! So almost Lunar-level anti-gravity…
You spin us right 'round!

NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory scientists at #AAS247 just announced the discovery of a record-breaking asteroid over 500m in size that spins once every ~2 minutes 🤯😵💫

It’s the fastest-rotating asteroid this big ever found! 🔭🧪☄️
