This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

I don’t see much good news nowadays, but this discovery has me *grinning*. An Egyptian mummy was found with THE ILIAD on its abdomen. Not some religious scripture, but Homer’s epic poem. It dates from from Egypt’s Roman period, so roughly sixteen centuries ago.

Egyptian mummy unearthed with literary text on abdomen in first ever find | CNN

Archaeologists working at the ancient city of Oxyrhynchus in Egypt have unearthed a mummy with a passage from Homer’s “Iliad” stuck to its abdomen, in a first-of-its-kind discovery.

Christophe Plantin printed a number of school editions, including Virgil’s Aeneid, with wide margins & generous line spacing for students’ notes. This copy is especially remarkable: it belonged to his grandson, the young Balthasar I Moretus. Judging by his aannotations, he was a diligent student!

Detail of two facing pages, on the left handwritten notes, on the right the heavily annotated printed Latin text

Title page of the book, reading ‘Pvbl. Virgilii Maronis Aeneidos Liber VI.’ It contains a woodcut engraving of Plantin’s printer’s mark and his imprint.

The first page of the main text with notes in between the lines and margins facing an interleaved page filled with handwritten notes.

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

Therefore, this Dicastery, in the faithful exercise of the functions entrusted to it, considers it necessary to state that this act constituted the delict of schism, with the canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved. Indeed, as was already declared in 1988, "such disobedience-which implies in practice the rejection of the Roman primacy—constitutes a schismatic act" (cf. John Paul II, Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei, 3).

No surprise here! What’s baffling is how little university administrators touting expensive, tech-heavy “future-ready” initiatives want to look at data that touts the benefits of the arts and humanities. It’s as if they can’t stand the idea that the liberal arts might help save higher ed after all.
