@LambeauLeapp @hawkmania4 How old are you? Did you ever see him play? He was the original comeback kid, he would be down 3 td’s on a regular basis after his defense failed him, and he’d comeback and win. Do some research buddy.

@hawkmania4 John always didn’t go to wash state, his dad coached there and he was a ball boy but his entire career was at Stanford

@JoshHigdon1 @konstructivizm Lemme guess, the earth is flat and everyone with money is a lizard? Same old song with a lot less evidence than space

Miranda doesn’t look like a moon.
It looks like a warning.When Voyager 2 slipped past Uranus in January 1986 and turned its cameras toward the innermost of the five major moons, the probe sent back something no one was ready for: a small, icy sphere only 470 km across that had clearly been blown to pieces and then clumsily stitched back together by gravity’s indifferent hands.There are three distinct terranes on Miranda, each so different they seem stolen from separate worlds. The ancient, crater-pocked highlands, scarred by billions of years of silence.
Rolling, lightly cratered coronae (Inverness, Arden, Elsinore) that look like gigantic scar-tissue racetracks, ridged and grooved as if something enormous once squeezed the moon in its fist.
And then Verona Rupes: a sheer escarpment that drops twenty kilometers straight down, twice the height of Mount Everest, taller than any cliff on Earth, Mars, or Venus. If you fell from the top, it would take almost ten minutes to reach the bottom, drifting in Miranda’s whisper-thin gravity like a snowflake in slow motion.

Scientists on Earth stared at the images and reached for the only word that fit for a corpse sewn from mismatched parts: Frankenstein.The leading story is apocalyptic. Long ago, a wandering body the size of a small moon smashed into Miranda with such violence that the little world shattered into a ring of rubble. Over time, gravity pulled the fragments back together, but not neatly; chunks fell in at different angles, at different speeds, freezing into a chaotic jumble the moment they touched. Some pieces carried deep heat from the impact, melting ice into subsurface oceans that later erupted, resurfacing whole provinces. Others stayed cold and dead. The result is a moon that wears its autopsy scars on the https://t.co/xa1XliMyEy spacecraft has been back in the thirty-nine years since Voyager 2. Miranda still orbits Uranus alone, keeping its fractured face turned toward the darkness, the tallest cliff in the solar system glowing faintly in reflected turquoise https://t.co/5USsrA9yXr day a new probe will return. When it does, it will find a world that remembers the day it died, and the day it refused to stay dead.
