The Voyager 1 spacecraft is currently traveling through interstellar space carrying a Golden Record with Earth’s sounds, including music such as Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” and spoken greetings in 55 languages.
The record also contains a wide selection of natural Earth sounds and human made audio meant to represent life on Earth, along with images encoded for any potential finder in the distant future.
What is happening inside this unusual nebula?
Planetary nebula Tc 1, captured here in exquisite detail by the James Webb Space Telescope, is the celestial site where buckyballs were first identified in 2010.
Buckminsterfullerene — as buckyballs are officially called — is a molecule with 60 carbon atoms (C60) arranged in the shape of a soccer ball.
The molecule is named for architect Buckminster Fuller because of its resemblance to the geodesic dome he helped popularize. Webb’s new data reveal where the C60 molecules live in this nebula, and the geometry is striking: they populate a thin spherical shell around the central star, visible here as the bright edge of the nebula’s glowing orange central region.
Look closely near the nebula’s heart and a more perplexing feature emerges: a delicate structure shaped uncannily like an upside-down question mark, fitting punctuation for the many questions this nebula still poses.

Ronny Chieng’s speech at Harvard
“Ai is just going to make mediocre people dumber”
Truer words have never been spoken
This is how you give a graduation speech!
Mother Nature is so extra, a bird evolved a tutu skirt-like display to attract a mate.
The ballet dancer "parrot" – aptly named the Western Parotia (Arfak parotia) – was captured by wildlife photographers in Indonesia in incredibly rare footage.
CHARGED: Anti-ICE agitator bit two federal officers during clashes outside Newark's Delaney Hall, leaving bloody wounds that sent both agents to the hospital.
Brendan John Geier, 26, now faces federal charges for assaulting officers who told his group to clear the road. He kicked one officer and sank his teeth into two others, according to the DOJ.
Acting AG Todd Blanche posted photos of the bloodied agents: 'These riots are clearly not peaceful protests as you can see from the photos of these horrific wounds.'

Look up . The sky is putting on a show you won't see again until 2028.
A rare Blue Moon is rising on May 30, peaking in the early hours of May 31 at 8:45 UTC.
It's the second full moon of May, and the first time two full moons have shared a single calendar month since August 2023.
But the moon isn't doing this alone.
Venus and Jupiter are lining up low in the western sky just after sunset. Mars and Saturn are climbing in the east before dawn. Mercury joins the western evening lineup too.
Four planets. One Blue Moon. One sky.
Here's the kicker — this isn't just any full moon. It's the smallest full moon of the entire year, sitting roughly 252,360 miles away at its farthest point from Earth.
A micromoon. A Blue Moon. A planet parade. All at once.
The moon will glow right next to Antares, the red heart of Scorpius, on May 30. For the best view of the planetary lineup, step outside 30 to 45 minutes after sunset and look west. Set an alarm before dawn if you want to catch Mars and Saturn rising in the east.
And no, despite the name, the moon won't actually look blue. The name comes from the calendar quirk, not the color.
The next one like this won't happen until December 2028.
Don't blink.
From the first trace of an idea to the final glow of its earthy tones, every detail of the W16 Mistral ‘Le Retour du Jeune Prince’ is shaped by hand, guided by a quiet narrative.
Here, the Sur Mesure process reveals itself with discretion: colors blended like pigments of moonlight, constellations applied with patience, materials chosen for their gentle poetry.
A creation born from the dialogue between artisans and imagination, where engineering meets a story rendered with care.

It’s two minutes to midnight. The time for talking is over; the time for action is now. That’s why we are presenting the first-ever patriotic European Citizens’ Initiative: the @SaveEuropeAct.
Acknowledging the ethnocultural continuity of Europe’s peoples as crucial for the preservation of Europe, we demand an immediate and total halt to immigration and the creation of a comprehensive European Remigration system.
To achieve that, we need your help. With a million signatures, the European Commission must meet with us face-to-face and take a stance on remigration and the future of Europe as a whole.
