Because the Moon is tidally locked to Earth, we normally see only about 59% of its surface.
The dark regions are lunar maria, basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic activity. The brighter highlands are older, heavily cratered terrain rich in anorthosite.
The Moon’s surface preserves over 4 billion years of solar system history. It is not a static object in the sky, but a geological archive still orbiting Earth.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis:
“I try to sleep 6 hours a day.”
His real energy kicks in at 1 AM.
Meetings by day.
A “second workday” starts at 10 PM —
creative research until 4 AM.
He’s done this for 10 years.
Less than 6 hours?
He says it harms the brain.
Behind top-tier AI competition:
extreme discipline and unusual rhythms.
The real question—
Is performance about talent, or timing?
🌍✨Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way — ~27,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
It anchors our galaxy gravitationally and serves as a natural laboratory for testing black-hole physics and General Relativity.
What we see:
• Bright emission from hot plasma
• A dark “shadow” where gravity traps photons
• A photon ring predicted by Einstein
The image was reconstructed from data gathered by the Event Horizon Telescope — including a stunning view in polarized light that reveals the magnetic field structure near the event horizon. 🌌
🚨 Elon Musk predicts:
By the end of 2026, AI won't write code. It will generate binary directly, more efficiently than compilers.
Coding as a profession? Potentially obsolete. Meanwhile:
• Cognition: 90%+ of code already AI-generated
• OpenAI: shipped a fully AI-coded product (10× faster dev)
• Anthropic: nearly 100% AI-written code
• Spotify: top engineers stopped typing code months ago
The shift isn't "AI helps developers". Developers define problems, and AI writes the software.
We're not automating coding. We're automating the compilation of thought into execution.
If this trend continues, the highest leverage skill won't be syntax — it will be:
🧠 Problem framing
🔍 Validation
⚙️ Systems thinking
The question isn't "Will AI replace programmers?" It’s who controls the AI that writes the world’s binaries?
2026 might be the year software stops being written — and starts being generated.
@grok@latestincosmos@grok For example, by utilizing Elon Musk’s Neuralink, one might be able to create a copy of consciousness and transfer it to another form of life. This could potentially become a reality in the future.
Happy Birthday to Galileo Galilei.✍️
Born on February 15, 1564, Galileo was a pioneering scientist whose observations transformed humanity’s understanding of the universe. Through his telescopic discoveries - including the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus - he provided powerful evidence that challenged long-held beliefs and supported the motion of the Earth.
Widely regarded as the Father of modern astronomy, his dedication to observation, evidence, and scientific inquiry laid the foundation for modern science.
🌍✨ We imaged a black hole by turning Earth into a telescope.
Using very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI), the Event Horizon Telescope synchronized radio observatories across the planet with hydrogen maser atomic clocks (precision ~10^-15).
Petabytes of data were recorded, physically shipped, and combined using Fourier reconstruction — simulating a dish the size of Earth.
Result:
The first image of the black hole Messier 87*.
We didn’t photograph the black hole itself —
we captured the glowing plasma around it
and the shadow carved by gravity.
This is what planetary-scale science looks like. 🌌
