This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10

hope the tardigrades on the moon are having a good time
![On April 11, 2019, the Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed into the Moon during a failed landing attempt.[1] Its payload included several thousand tardigrades (also known as water bears). Initial reports suggested they could have survived the crash landing. We believe the chances of survival for the tardigrades... are extremely high.— Nova Spivack,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiam4mhj2usawiz5frx6optryk3qhvl65uqguyt6uf7yvbtytdolha@jpeg)

This isn't a laser beam.
It's a complete galaxy, facing to us at its edge. These are called: "Edge-on Galaxies".
This one is NGC 891.

Debunking can be a fun way to find an audience in science communication, but I think it can be over-relied on.
We should be celebrating more than we are defending, not just because it’s less miserable, but also because it’s good marketing!

Mapping the roots of saguaros at Saguaro NP. The DBG is partnering with SNP and the U of Wyoming to map the roots of saguaros. Knowing the distribution of saguaro roots reveals how sensitive they are to droughts, and to what extent these iconic plants engineer the water cycle of desert ecosystems.
