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.

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

This rules so much. Dying for an update, what did the “ummia” (expert/teacher) send back in reply?
Helpful_Loss_3739 OP • 2d ago

lam hesitant about exact transliteration. It does contain information to contact me IRL after all.
But a rough translation goes this way:
"To the museum, tell them thus [name redacted] speaks so.
I am a young/apprentice scribe.
I ask for a sumerian teacher
From the sumerian teacher I ask for understanding.
Send your tablet to the land of Finland.
In [city name redacted] next to [city name redacted] | wait.
Into the house of tablets in the [city name redacted] send your tablet.
What do I write right?
What do I write wrong?
