🔭 Did you know that there is *silver* in the Sun? If yes: did you know we JUST found out there’s 55% more than previously thought?! +0.19 dex from ref values, which is a LOT!
The culprit? (Scooby-Doo villain reveal) As always, those darn meddling 3D non-LTE effects!!! 👻

What would you do if a meteorite crashed through your house? In this case, "The homeowner...quickly sealed the evidence in glass jars, handling the fragments with disposable gloves and aluminum foil." Two years later, we have amino acids and brine! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🔭 Сверхскопление галактик Волосы Вероники, находится примерно в 300 млн. св. лет от нас
Andre Vilhena снимал область 16-19 марта 2026 года. Затем автор вручную удалил около 2 тыс. звёзд Млечного Пути, сверяясь с каталогами, чтобы показать кадр словно из межгалактического пространства.

The shielded enclosure features conducting metal walls, floor, and ceiling that form a Faraday cage, screening out all external interference.
Its 9 m-high interior is lined floor to ceiling with foam spikes that absorb electrical signals and sounds to mimic the void of space.

50 years ago today. Viking 1 landed on Mars to search for signs of life.🦠
Its Labeled Release (LR) experiment famously yielded positive results for metabolism on Mars. Other on-board experiments and later analyses refute that finding.
I am among those who think LR detected life, then killed it.🧪🔭
