  @bellegraylane@universeodon.com @tanukicorner.com @DejahEntendu@dice.camp Yeah, too many shitty arguments. I wouldn't think a human trying to talk about "atheism" "free will" etc would manage to make such a collection of fallacies, but apparently the poster is not aware that such things even exist.

  Solar Prominences: Supply Mechanisms in the Sun’s Corona Large amounts of matter need to be lifted into the solar atmosphere to create and sustain the massive plasma structures. New calculations reveal how this is possible. The researchers consider not only the Sun’s atmosphere, but for the first time also the deeper, cooler layers of our star.

  #Perseverance is on the move again, this time apparently leaving the Lac De Charmes area and not following the planned path. With only a few new images in, so far, this is my estimate of the new location; it appears to be in the middle of nowhere. The path is more or less a guess. The path beyond tosol's location in the 2nd and 3rd map is a speculation about where the rover might be heading next. #QGIS #MMGIS #Mars2020 #NASA #solarocks #space

  «Keeper of the Night Sky» #NASA's title of this image may raise some eyebrows 🤔 Of course I expect NASA's scientists and astronauts to be wholeheartedly against light pollution of the night sky, but seeing a title like this without an explanation I take it as their jab at the chainsaw nazi for his megalomaniac data-center-in-the-sky idea.

Could never revisit it without problems, because after six months of staying on the Moon, Earth's gravity would be too strong for the weakened muscles of a Loony.

  And now you have Jared Isaacman talk about Trump and the 4 crew visiting the White House 🙄, and live coverage from inside #Orion stopped obviously because the spacesailors started firing the rockets to return back to Moon orbit as soon as possible, before gathering more speed toward the W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ Earth. 🙃 🤣 And, a question about future budget of NASA to Isaacman was quashed.
