I mean actually "New supercomputer simulations have predicted that, in 3 billion to 4 billion years, there is a chance that Venus or Mars will slam into our planet thanks to the subtle gravitational interactions between Jupiter and Mercury."

chance is near-zero, but never zero :P

I've said it before, but it's really disappointing that you basically have to neglect your research and get a minor degree in computer science if you're a #humanities academic who wants to showcase their work on an ethical platform.

I don't expect to be able to do all the things that #tech folks do, but it seems like it shouldn't be as hard as it is just to get some text on a page.

Great appearance on Hoops for Harris by my candidate in the NJ7 critical swing district: Sue Altman. We need her energy--and ethics and intelligence--in Congress to replace nepo-pol Tom Kean Jr.

Ancient asteroid 20 times larger than the one that wiped out the dinosaurs likely hit Jupiter’s moon Ganymede.

CNN reports that Japanese researchers are studying the possible impact of the collision some 4 billion years ago: flip.it/KnQk9p

This EU #openscience policy announcement, despite the somewhat underwhelming EU lingo in some places, is a bombshell, if/when properly implemented:

IMHO, many places around the world, especially the rich ones not running something like SciELO/Redalyc etc. (looking at you, USA!), should closely study this document and what it actually means and entails.

That could be more accurate, yes, but it'd cost me a ton of characters 🤣

Moneyed interests, and all-too-eager stooges to do the dirty work because they get to play shoot 'em up... And oligarchs wonder why they are so despised by working people

Next step of the solar image processing. Still can't see the prominences but they'll appear. Thinking about putting my h-alpha scope back outside during lunch and live streaming it. *note* It will not look this sharp but it will be monochrome.
