If asked i would say that the Rosetta images of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko are tied with those of Satrun by Cassini as the most dramatic and incredible of a solar system object ever returned via spacecraft. Just look at the mood here.

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable.
If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.
we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this??
between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

Amazing technology from the 1930's in the Yates Hoist room. These giant pulleys, originally built for the Homestake Mine. The Sanford Lab repurposed them to transport scientists and engineers to build the DUNE Science experiment more than a mile underground via the headframe.(photo 3)

Looks like the evidence for this weird chemical abundance in an exoplanet atmosphere has gotten stronger with new JWST data: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s...
Is it really a sign of life? That’s still not clear; lots of analysis left to do. But it’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out! 🧪 🔭

A sample of the first 3D #photogrammetry scan I’ve done as part of my coursework with CyArk and the heritage documentation grant I received.
The building is a reconstruction of Borromeo Church from 1791 in St. Charles, MO. Each little white triangle in the image is where I took the photo from.

Sometimes I think, "Compared to geological time, living things exist for only little blinks," but other times I think, "actually, life is one continuous chemical chain that first formed billions of years ago and every mountain range that existed back then has long since crumbled away to dust."
