SATURN’S RINGS ARE DISAPPEARING
They’re slowly losing material as tiny ice particles are pulled into Saturn’s atmosphere by gravity and magnetic forces, a process known as “ring rain.”
Scientists estimate the rings could disappear within 100–300 millions years.

Data from @NASAHubble, @ChandraXray, and @NASAWebb combine to give us a vibrant look at the Tarantula Nebula. This star-forming region is 160,000 light-years away from Earth.
Peter Thiel on why the best companies come from founders, not CEOs:
"A lot of the great companies built over the last two decades were founded by people where it was somehow deeply connected to their identity, their life project. They had some kind of idiosyncratic, somewhat different vision of what they were doing. They did something new, and then built something extraordinarily big over the years.
Of course, these extreme personalities often have a lot of blind spots. There are ways in which it's a feature, and ways in which it can be a little bit buggy — but it's a package deal. And I net out to it being massively advantageous versus a professional CEO."
