Hopefully we get a video of the first compression (break) test of a brittle, high-strength concrete mix in zero-G! 🤓

Heck yeah, this is going to seriously level-up my slow Friday at the office. Space junk be damned! Tereza, we are in your debt for this gem of an article. 🧑‍🚀

If I lived on a planet orbiting Betelgeuse, I'd be pretty dismayed that fellow beings within the same galaxy are anxiously routing for my cataclysmic demise haha. Stop the supernova! www.SaveBetelgeuse.org

With so much to learn from Betelgeuse, why are so many stargazers excited to see it destroyed? Stop the supernova! www.savebetelgeuse.org

Okay, so at least 100 years before we "really" have to worry about this huge beast hitting Earth, buuuuut... isn't that still a BIG problem for humanity?! Not that we'll be around to experience this, but what estimate of catastrophe exists for the planet and the people who will be here? 100...

While I concur with Dr. Ian that the description of Earth's "first rotation", in which OP shrewdly points out that Diameter = 2 x Radius and that 12 =12, is indeed utter gibberish; I'm now on the edge of my seat to hear OP's scientific dissection of Earth's second rotation. This cliffhanger has...

Watching this live feed made my lunchbreak! Watched for a good 20 minutes. Much thanks to the team in Italy!

You hang in there, lil fella! The people of Earth are rallying to bring you home safely.

Aren't all black holes spinning? I recall reading something (i think Brief History) saying that any black hole can be characterized by spin, mass, and temperature.

This is how we drive in Hawaii to avoid similar sized craters in our roads.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Many dead or displaced. Old Lahaina was such a place of Aloha with shops, bars, restaurants, and all the hippies hanging out under the great banyan tree. You could sit on the custom house steps and watch the surfers. Sounds of laughter and scents of weed from...

Happy Birthday JWST! i'm going to celebrate by wearing my NASA socks to work.
