A Solar Filament Erupts : What’s happened to our Sun? Nothing very unusual – it just threw a filament. Toward the middle of 2012, a long standing solar filament suddenly erupted into space producing an energetic Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The filament had been held up for days by the Sun’s ever changing magnetic field and the timing of the eruption was unexpected. Watched closely by the Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, the resulting explosion shot electrons and ions into the Solar System, some of which arrived at Earth three days later and impacted Earth’s magnetosphere, causing visible aurorae. Loops of plasma surrounding an active region can be seen above the erupting filament in the featured ultraviolet image. Although the Sun is now in a relatively inactive state of its 11-year cycle, unexpected holes have opened in the Sun’s corona allowing an excess of charged particles to stream into space. As before, these charged particles are creating auroras. via NASA
“In celebration of the twenty-first anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope’s deployment in April 2011, astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute pointed Hubble’s eye to an especially photogenic group of interacting galaxies called Arp 273.
The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, has a disk that is tidally distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational tidal pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813. A swath of blue jewels across the top is the combined light from clusters of intensely bright and hot young blue stars. These massive stars glow fiercely in ultraviolet light.
The smaller, nearly edge-on companion shows distinct signs of intense star formation at its nucleus, perhaps triggered by the encounter with the companion galaxy.”

We know more about the surfaces of Mars and the moon than we do about the bottom of our oceans. Source Source 2 Source 3
Martian volcano Olympus Mons is more than twice as high as Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, the tallest mountain on Earth from top to bottom.
Compared to the Grand Canyon on Earth, Valles Marineris on Mars is nearly five times deeper, about four times longer, and 20 times wider.
The red planet doesn’t have plate tectonics, which is what causes most quakes on Earth. But rising plumes of magma could trigger Mars quakes, as could meteorite impacts and the contraction of the world due to cooling. InSight will listen for them with its seismometer.
Martian oceans also had tsunamis like those on Earth. The tallest may have reached as high as 400 feet, just slightly shorter than the London Eye.
Like Earth, Mars has ice caps at its poles. The northern cap is up to 2 miles deep, is a mix of water and carbon dioxide, and covers an area slightly larger than Texas.
The average surface temperature on Mars is -81˚F, 138 degrees chillier than on Earth. But on a mid-summer day at the red planet’s equator, temperatures can peak at a balmy 95˚F.
Billions of years ago, Mars had oceans and flowing water. But adding them up would give you just 1.5% of all water on Earth today.
Mars has almost as much surface as Earth has land — but that doesn’t account for the 71% of Earth that’s covered in water.
The Martian atmosphere is 61 times thinner than Earth’s, and it consists almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which makes up just 0.04% of Earth’s atmosphere.
On Earth, sunsets are a brilliant mix of reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, and other colors. But on Mars they’re blue. Because air is dozens of times less dense on the surface of Mars than it is on our planet, white sunlight refracts less — leading to fewer colors (primarily blues).
Missions to Mars have become much rarer — after 23 launches in the 1960s and 1970s, we’ve launched just 10 in the new millennium (so far).
Getting to Mars is hard: About a third of the missions launched have failed.

finished a 4 hour html homework now i gotta study math and programming im gonna kms i swear
This is the binary code to the “Hello, World!” program, a simple computer program used in beginner classes to introduce basic programming syntax. The program’s sole function is to print “Hello, World!” on screen: an uplifting, symbolic gesture in which the computer (an emerging technology when the program was first created) greets the world full of hope, and of wonder.

Esse é o Objeto de Hoag, uma galáxia curiosa do tipo anelar: seu núcleo é rodeado por um anel de estrelas, gás e poeira. Sua origem é um mistério, pois galáxias anelares são formadas quando uma galáxia atravessa a outra. Nesse caso não há nenhuma galáxia nas imediações que possa ter feito isso. . This is the Hoag’s Object, a curious galaxy in the the shape of a ring: its nucleus is surrounded by a ring of stars, gas and dust. Its origins remains a mystery, as other ring galaxies are formed when one galaxy passes through another galaxy. In this case, there is no candidate for the bullet galaxy in the vicinity. .
