The city of Los Angeles and Santa Catalina Island. These were taken by the Apollo 9 astronauts back in March, 1969. I only color corrected the first image. I fully restored the second image. If you squint real hard, you might be able to spot Randy’s Donuts!

if astronomers are gonna start doing actual planetary science, they can't keep using the word "metal" this way
The compositions of the HR 8799 planets reflect accretion of both solids and metal-enriched gas
With four giant planets ($m\sim5-10~M_{\rm Jup}$, $T_\rm{eff}\sim900-1200$ K) orbiting between 15-70 au, HR 8799 provides an unparalleled testbed for studying giant planet formation and probing compos...

CONFIRMED BY SCIENCE: anyone more online than me is a loser phone addict and everyone less online than me are basic underdeveloped normies

fwiw Canada own the entire bridge BECAUSE THE US WOULDNT CHIP IN THEIR HALF OF THE COST. the Detroit-Windsor crossing is the largest US border crossing in terms of trade volume and we STILL wouldn’t pay for a new bridge. ALL OF THIS is self inflicted!!! this is the dumbest timeline!!!
