Un dato curioso:

Orión tardó 42:50 minutos en cruzar el lado oculto de la luna.
The Dark Side of the Moon dura exactamente 42:50 minutos.

That moment when Artemis II got closer to the moon and the earth was 238K miles away.

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

That's us! 🌍

The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

[@KATEWRIGHTLDN @Katewrightldn]

Look at how beautiful and round we are:)

STUNNING🚨: Artemis II crew captured a stunning image of Earth this morning from 41,000 miles away.

The first time since 1972 that humans have seen a crescent Earth in full.

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home.

They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

Gout Gout was at Ipswich Grammar School to play soccer. He had never trained as a sprinter. He was twelve years old, wearing sand shoes, and somebody told him to line up for a race at the school carnival.

The kid next to him was wearing spikes. He had won nationals.

Gout left him in the dust.

His classmate Tyson Walker was in the race too. "Everyone there stopped and watched," Walker recalled. "We had GPS athletics the next week and he broke every record and just didn't stop. He's just kept going faster."

A coach named Di Sheppard saw him run that day. She told him he could be an Olympic medalist. He later said it was the first time anyone had ever told him anything like that. He was twelve. He joined her squad and started training twice a week.

Here is where the story gets strange.

At 14 he ran 10.57 in the 100m, the fastest ever by an Australian under 16. At 15 he broke the national U18 200m record. At 16 he clocked 10.04 in a heat, then 10.17 legal in the final, then woke up the next morning and ran 20.04 in the 200m, breaking Peter Norman's Australian record from the 1968 Olympics. That record had stood for 56 years. Usain Bolt saw the footage, posted a photo, and wrote "He looks like young me."

The Bolt comparison is worth sitting with. Bolt didn't race 100 meters professionally until he was 21. His first professional 100m was 10.03. Gout Gout ran 10.00 flat at 18.

And his coach still only puts him in the gym two days a week. She's managing the fact that his body is still growing. The power phase of his development hasn't started. He is running these times on stride length and raw top-end speed alone.

His parents are Dinka, from South Sudan. They fled to Egypt, then to Australia, two years before he was born. Third of seven children. The family name was misspelled during transliteration from Arabic. It was supposed to be Guot. His father has been trying to change it back because "gout" is a disease name.

The kid kept running.

Brisbane 2032. Home Olympics. He'll be 24, the same age Bolt was when he set the 100m world record in Berlin. Adidas already signed him through that year.

The fastest man in Australian history started in sand shoes at a school carnival. Nobody told him to stop.

BREAKING: The operators of the Canadian-financed Gordie Howe Bridge have announced their toll rates.

And they're significantly less than the Ambassador Bridge, whose private owner has lobbied the Trump administration to block Gordie Howe from opening.

Trump says that tariffs are "paid for by foreign countries."

FACT CHECK:

Tariffs are taxes paid by American importers, as U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts pointed out in November, which means they are borne either by American business owners or American consumers, but in either case, by Americans.

Eight years ago, @tessavirtue and @ScottMoir used their gala spot at the 2018 @Olympics Gala to dance to ‘Long Time Running’. It was the last skate of their olympic careers, and we don’t think it could have been a better farewell. They took home Gold for Canada!

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump’s tariffs are illegal. A massive rebuke to this lawless president — and a decision that will make a huge difference for American families who’ve been suffering from higher prices because of his reckless tariff wars.
