Here Are Some Lovely Pictures I Took A While Ago Of The Night Sky. It’s The Best I Can Do With An Old

Thank you science side of tumblr

The problem with nuclear power plants is that you would want the workers to observe the processes carefully to avoid disaster, however nuclear power plants generate energy by boiling water, so the plant technicians can’t watch what’s happening or the water won’t boil due to the Watchpot Phenomenon. Thankfully scientists have overcome this hurdle in recent decades by squinting so the water thinks their eyes are closed and that it isn’t being watched

Why though

Did ya'll catch the sneak peek photograph taken by the James Webb Telescope today?

I am so so so looking forward to the day where humanity as a species can experience these spaceships in person, or something similar in design. Spaceships are so so so cool.

For those who don’t know, recently a bunch of phosphine gas was detected in the atmosphere of Venus. What makes this such a big deal is that phosphine is an organic gas. Of course, certain phenomena like lightning or geological processes could make it, but this is a very rare and difficult thing to do. Now, it may be too soon to tell, but this could mean there’s at the very least some sort of microbial life! We’ve spent so much time looking at Mars and its ancient watery history, that we never even considered Venus as a possible environment for extraterrestrial life. This discovery, should it be validated, would completely alter our way of thinking how life looks, even more so than possible life on Mars.

Just a cool thing I wanted to share. 2020 may be an... interesting year, but maybe, just maybe, there could be silver lining to all this chaos.

I agree! Considering solar radiation, hiding inside of lava tubes is probably the best place to put colonies/bases.

A new study says that lava caves on Mars and the Moon are much more voluminous than here on Earth. Could they be used for underground habita

underground planetary bases would be really cool!
