Last week I came across a remarkable archival document by astronomer William Herschel. He describes his telescopes as time machines, capable of "penetrating into time" as much as 1,910,000 years into the past.
His numbers were off, but his insight was spot on. In the year 1800!

This striped formation may contain the oldest intact rocks on Earth.* A new study suggests that they are at least 4.16 billion years old--relics from a time before plate tectonics, probably before oceans, even.
* The pocket knife is a more recent element. 🧪

Lots of news just came out about strange, rhythmic goings-on in the outer regions of our solar system.
An object called 2020 VN40 moves in sync with Neptune (1 orbit for every 10 of Neptune), suggesting a large population of bodies in similar resonances. 🧪🔭

Perhaps the most intriguing discovery in the outer solar system: Ammonite, an ancient ~300-kilometer-wide chonk that loops up to 252 times as far from the Sun as Earth.
It orbits roughly where Planet 9 should be...likely meaning that Planet 9 doesn't exit. 🧪🔭

Another object, 2015 OU194, is in a 3:4 resonance with Uranus, meaning it completes 3 orbits for every 4 of Uranus. The object is classified as a "centaur."
So yeah, there's a centaur waltzing around Uranus in 3:4 time. 🧪🔭

@blessingjr.bsky.social there is footage of the Yakuza Pirate game that I feel should be in Games Daily somewhere today. It's like Yakuza meets Black Flag meets Saints Row. Looks bananas

I’ve seen multiple people say #Superman looks like a CW show, so let me remind you that the last CW show was ‘SUPERMAN & LOIS’ and it absolutely had the sauce. Thanks for the compliment.

Auch wenn ich mich in der Wortwahl anhöre wie Nationalkonservativer von vor 100 Jahren, ich steh dazu: Die AfD ist nicht nur elendiger Haufen Vaterlandsverräter, sondern auch ein Sicherheitsrisiko!
Die #AfD macht jetzt offen immer deutlicher worum es ihr geht: Um die Interessen Russlands.
Gegen die EU, gegen die NATO, gegen den Westen und gegen wirtschaftliche und sicherheitspolitische Interessen Deutschlands.

AfD verschärft Kurs: Höcke will Bündnis mit Russland – Chrupalla spielt mit Nato-Ausstieg
Das Programm der AfD für die Bundestagswahl ist noch nicht beschlossen. Nun widersprachen zwei Spitzenpolitiker der offiziellen Außenpolitik-Linie.
