A spherical structure made up of long, narrow, radial spikes emanating from its centre. This is the supernova ejecta. Many stars of the Galaxy surround it.

New Merch Alert!! Fish. The ocean's full of 'em. And protecting the ocean is a global job, so we better learn the word for fish in as many languages as we can fit on a tote bag. Support @skypeascientist.bsky.social by getting a *sturdy* tote bag with a zipper (with a zipper!!!) at SquidFacts.net

4 freak-ass fish illustrated on a tote bag. We got a barreleye, a mola mola, a gulper eel, and a viperfish

It’s crazy how our expectations have evaporated over the last few years. We used to see something like this as a crisis that would require international action. Create a humanitarian corridor. Negotiate a temporary ceasefire to evacuate non-combatants. All that’s over now. Cruelty reigns.

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass. It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots. This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

I remember someone comparing it to the gym. It's more efficient to move large amounts of weight with a forklift truck than a human being, but the point of going to the gym isn't that the weight is moved, it's that YOU learn to move the weight.
