Plus, if you zoom in on the hi-res image you can find some fun pareidolia! Here's Ahura Mazda lighting a fire temple.

I'm going email this to Richard C. Hoagland and see if it shows up on Coast-to-Coast AM within a month or two as Jesus drinking from the holy grail or what the fuck ever he thinks sells more books and speaking tours at whack-a-doodle conferences.

The Parker probe has "touched" the sun itself, and lives to tell the tale!

I watched that footage! That was fucking amazing. I wish I had the astrophysics background to appreciate all the other readings it took.

This year will be huge for space. Only a couple short months before JWST is ready to take pictures.

I'm excited about the things we may learn about the Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, and, exoplanets.

I feel like the debris at edge of our solar system is an interesting thing so far as validating or refuting hypotheses about solar system formation. If something refutes our current ideas then we have a bunch of new shit to think about!

Exoplanets seem really fucking cool though. I want to know how the other kids grew up and live with their families. Maybe they live in a two parent household with a bunch of rowdy siblings. How does that work?

Just ask Meta what it's like to grow up with two gay daddies.

> two gay daddies.

As opposed to two straight daddies?

I don't have a stepdad. I'm just saying it's possible to have two straight dads.

It would be odd if they did.
