@johngaltscousin @SteveStuWill That's what I came in to find out, but no explanation of the technology.

@ExploreCosmos_ @ExploreCosmos_ , When attempting to calculate the trajectory of these particles back to their origin, and concluding that they come from a cosmic void, did the researchers take into account motions such as a rotating Milky Way galaxy, and other galaxies that are also in motion?

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@CosmicWatch @ExploreCosmos_ Not complete atoms, but the constituents of them — so protons and free electrons. Also some helium nuclei (without orbiting electrons), so ions consisting of two protons plus two neutrons (these are also commonly called alpha particles). Photons are not a part of this plasma.

NASA releases new image of planet Jupiter captured by James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever built.

@Vincent2112_ @CuriosityonX It is true that nobody knows for sure, and it is good to be skeptical. The number they are presenting is a good guess, extrapolating from our actual observations. The tone of your skepticism seems accusatory though.

@Shalomber108 @McClureShawn Germ theory is also a scientific theory. We all accept germ theory as 100% fact because enough evidence is now present to lift it from a mere hypothesis to established scientific theory. Thank you for personally demonstrating the point of this post.

The nuclear-powered octocopter will hunt for signs of life in -290°F temperatures

@WilliamFDrishJr @ExploreCosmos_ While I agree with everything else you said, I think your timeline is way too ambitious.Our current rocket technology would require tens of thousands of years to reach even the closest exoplanets, and there are no technologies on the brink of making huge propulsion breakthroughs.

@SeanHarasymchuk @ExploreCosmos_ I have wondered about this same thing for many years. I have even asked this same question before, but never received adequate answers. It's a deep question but I don't think it's completely intractable.

@AirAether @NASAHubble Did you use a smart phone or a computer to type that text? You wouldn't have had either one if not for NASA. Pretty physical and has improved multi-millions of lives I would say.

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@bvbandy1979 @latestinspace I came here to ask the same question. I think it's too bright to be a star, but depending on angle it could be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn.

@MadJorgen @latestinspace I'm wondering if this is a giant lightning storm.

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@dotsamarai @latestinspace It's best to spend our money on the things we can actually do something about — small/medium sized meteorites are not one of those things.

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@NASAHubble @NASAWebb @grok , does Messier 101 have a super massive black hole at its center, like many spiral galaxies do?

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@DanielnCanada @CriticalMass605 @ABC @grok What a callous attitude. Children cannot control what families they are born into.

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@CABQ_CPC CPC meetings are divided into one for each APD Area Command. For example I live in the Foothills area command, so I attend the Foothills CPC meetings. Will this Interim Chief be speaking at ALL seven meetings this month?

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@Gilles_Bourdin @visegrad24 I appreciate your balanced approach to journalism @Gilles, but unfortunately most X viewers came in with a bias and don't intend to get persuaded out of it. Your points are very reasonable, but almost all will ignore them because they don't fit the current narrative.

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@ExploreCosmos_ @grok , how many years of observation were required to identify these rotations?

[Tim Vargo @TimVarg0]

@grok @elonmusk That's what I thought
