#PPOD: 180 years ago today, Johann Gottfried Galle used this telescope to discover Neptune — almost exactly where mathematics predicted it would be. Urbain Le Verrier calculated the location of an unseen planet from its gravitational effects on Uranus. On Sept. 23, 1846, Galle searched for it. 🧪 🔭

#PPOD: These enormous troughs cut through Elysium Fossae, a region of Mars shaped by the nearby Elysium volcanic province. Stretching several kilometers across and about 800 meters deep, the depressions likely formed as the Martian crust was stretched, fractured, and ultimately collapsed... 🧪 🔭
