Somebody did a simulation of a giant 🍌 orbiting around the 🌍 at the distance of the ISS.

And, surprisingly, it challenges our intuitions of how orbiting objects would look like in the sky.

I just rendered the smallest ever Christmas tree: a fully decorated pinene molecule! Ok, the shape is not conventional, but still I claim the Guinness record. #lifeatcentral

Look cute – and I won’t delete later.

Greetings from the Red Planet! I took another selfie as I explored a new spot dubbed “Mary Anning,” where I'm analyzing drill samples. I conducted experiments on them in my continued search for organic molecules. https://t.co/NKTjxVNjX7

[ARCHIVED - NASA Moon @NASAMoon]

We just announced that - for the first time - we’ve confirmed H2O💧 in sunlit☀️ areas of the Moon. This indicates that water might be distributed across the lunar surface.

Beware of the Skull and Crossbones Nebula! ☠️

NGC 2467 is a star-forming region characterized by a haunting appearance. What do you see within the clouds of dust and gas? A skull? The Terminator? Or maybe a monkey?

This paper has been cited 1163 times, except it DOES NOT EXIST.

This 'paper' was used in a style guide as a citation example, was included in some papers by accident, and then propagated from there, illustrating how some authors don't read *titles* let alone abstracts or papers

How to gain eternity (a simple recipe)
1) Calculate the equivalent energy of your rest mass (say, for m=70 kg, E=mc²=6.3·10^18 J)
2) Choose a preferred frequency (i.e. azure light f=6.15·10^14 Hz)
