A burst of light from a newborn black hole billions of light-years away in space and time has struck Earth with such power, it rattled the planet's upper atmosphere. The gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A shattered records as it flared in the darkness of space in October 2022 some 2.4 billion light-years from Earth, its light blazing with up to 18 teraelectronvolts of energy in what is regarded as the brightest space explosion ever recorded. Now, scientists have determined that the explosion was so powerful that it caused large variations in the electric field of Earth's ionosphere, at an altitude of some 500 kilometers (310 miles). "In this work we present the evidence of variation of the ionospheric electric field at about 500 kilometers induced by the strong gamma-ray burst [that] occurred on October 9th, 2022," write a team led by astrophysicist Mirko Piersanti of the University of L'Aquila and the National Institute of Astrophysics in Italy.

If you are a science nerd like me and you like binging on space documentaries until 2 am, then I definitely recommend checking out documentaries about space narrated by Professor Brian Cox! I'm incredibly bad at physics, but he explains things in a way that it's not that difficult to understand, if that makes sense? Lol I highly recommend them! I actually wanted to go to one of his lectures, but sadly I was abroad at the time so couldn't go..
*Those are nice
I shared this weeks on Reddit but since that site is a wreck, I’m sharing over here too. I identified which (100% free!) cape pattern the illustrations of Vin and Kelsier on the stickers in the Mistborn swag box heavily reference! You’d obviously have to do a bunch of tweaks, but I would recognize this torso wrap and dart situation anywhere, so it’s a solid starting point!
please tell me I'm not the only one who gets really fixated on a song but feels like actually bad when the song ends and you wish you could listen to it on loop without ending up hating it
