Why is there a Canadian Flag on the asteroid?
I knew they were up to something.
As a reply to uki's pic of bear cubs in a tree
(Um, right? You probably were not referring to the Hurricane Florence space pic immediately above and made an oblique reference to Mother Nature, yes?)
That adult bear at the base of the tree might not be their mom.

after a refresh and scrolling thru the posts, my comment is actually immediately following the bear pic.
if memory serves..... good luck finding cubs without their mom close buy.. death usually being the only reason she isn't around and cubs are usually lunch at that point.
i find these photos of asteroids to be somewhat unsettling
these hunks of rock floating around in the dark ... :: shudder ::

Hayabusa 2 rovers send new images from Ryugu surface
There's something they're calling a "movie", but it's a 10 frames time lapse. And it's video from twitter, which doesn't work for me, so I found it on youtube:

(J.J. Abrams was right! look at that real lens flare in real space!

"New" version of CT scanning will allow archeologists to examine mummies non-destructively:
a. is a view created with a standard X-ray, while b. and c. shows some of the details that were seen via CT scanning the particular cross-sections at the points indicated by the lines through parts of a.
That "new" in quotes because this method has been used in medicine for about a decade, but it took until now for someone to apply this technique to archeology with an Egyptian mummy's hand.

Our cats did that when they were kittens and still figuring stuff out.
Of course, now they're starting to misjump again because they're old and have arthritic hips...

Well I just had to ask that question.
What are the limits of Magneto's magnetic field?
That whole chart has a really cool '70's vibe ... man ...
IMHO, they shouldn't call the solar system "deep space". Deep space should be outside the solar system.
that would be interstellar space

Exactly. Also, consider just how far out those planets are. Sure, compared to the scope of our galaxy (never mind the universe), they seem pretty close, but even Mars is far.
Weird that they kinda sorta went with having it scaled and then said fiddlesticks it.
change the colours and it could be jupiter
you bet your american ass

nah
scratch the surface and we're a nation of raging uncouth individuals
that sure was one heck of a flash flood no more than 6,000 years ago
now you know God created the Earth 5000 years ago.... why are you trying to stir up human waste with the 6000 years crap eh?
Psh, everyone knows a God year is several times bigger than a human year.
