At a speed of 7 million km/h, the barred spiral galaxy ESO 137-001 hurtles towards the center of cluster Abell 3627, traveling through hot intergalactic gas with a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius along the way

This produces stunning images..

38 years ago #Halley's Comet visited us. This image was taken in 1986 with the (now decommissioned) Grand Prisme Objectif telescope at La Silla Observatory. We'll have to wait until 2061 to see it again.

I think LORD OF THE RINGS being a story in which, canonically, it is entirely possible for evil to triumph in the temporal world, and in fact more likely than not that it will, but also that reality should not change the meaning of your moral values, is an underrated part of what makes it so good.
