7 years ago, on New Year's Day, Jan 1, 2019, the NASA New Horizons spacecraft flew by the most distant object ever visited by a spacecraft, the contact binary trans-Neptunian object 2014 MU6, now named Arrokoth.
Arrokoth means "sky" in the Powhatan/Algonquin language.
New Horizons also saw evidence for methanol, water ice and organic molecules on the red surface of the 35 km Kuiper Belt object.

#NealStephenson the #SciFi author makes some use of them in his large interesting novel #AnathemWhich also has some echoes of what, perhaps, scientists might consider around this period of Administration of the USA.

Celebrity female #Conservative women Laura Ingraham & Candice Owens have both argued women should not be allowed to vote.And fmr Fox host Megan Kelly just tried to PRE innoculate #PedoDon... the #MisogynistInChief who implied she was "on the rag" to explain away her contentious questions of him... by suggesting knowingly having sex with 15 year olds that look 18 is not as bad as having sex with 5 year olds.

"But #Iger and Co. are also aware that Disney needs government approval for pending deals like #ESPN’s pact with the #NFL; that its station partners are in the same boat; and that crossing Trump can have severe financial consequences."
Does #Disney still get that deal it needs from #Trump?
Any word on that?
Did Trump cave, or did Disney decide it just didn't care / would take its chances
Or is #Kimmel still gagged?

I remember, a long time ago, when we started to have fuel efficiency standards. The Japanese hired well educated engineers to solve the fuel efficiency problem, the US #bigCorp hired lawyers and lobbyist to go to DC to have our laws changed.It is still going on today and in all areas of business.
Want a present day example.
our gov gives more grants to bigCorp for 4 wheel electric cars but not to #aptera which has a well designed 3 wheel electric car....because it has 3 wheels. -

"...they believe the #SupremeCourt is likely to hold the former president is disqualified under the #FourteenthAmendment."
And it will be then that we all see the true force of #LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety's investment in #SCOTUS judges

China breaks more records with surge in solar and wind power | China | The Guardian https://share.google/tp0sLMQAncfwzYKpJNot suddenly this year.
Solar power in China - Wikipedia https://share.google/46zUPue2ARy2QUvB0This looks like an #exponential curve, up to last year.
It'll be a #logistic curve, I suppose, but there's no indication of the flattening of the rise into an S yet. -

A nice textbook description of how #tariff work; not related to what #HomoStupidus is proposing.We live in a world of crony #capitalism, #bigCorp monopoly controlled economies run by mendacious narcissistic sociopaths where words don't mean anything.
This "tariff" is a con to repressively tax the little guy, to make it appear that we can then give the billionaires another #taxcut and allow them to increase profits, raise prices and concentrate more wealth.

OOOF!
back in the 90s, #Weehawken #NJ was the place yuppies moved to live “in the country, but by the beach” and still be a ferry away from Wall Street. real estate there went crazy real quick because the other alternative would have been a house in that "losers hellhole" called Staten Island.
to Jason Bateman wannabes, the biggest “fuck you, got mine” was a house on the Weehawken cliffs.
if the uppity Jersey Shore #finbros are passing the Trump haterade… we’re a tickety toc to FAFO time

Virtually all of Humanity's history, innovation and creativity is a blue pixel on a 1970's camera.
Stick a selfie mirror on this view and you have everything we have ever done.
We're not that important in the grand scale of things.

Some info on the GoPro HERO4 cameras attached to each of the 4 solar arrays of the Artemis II Orion European Service Module (ESM).
These are a WiFi-based GoPro cameras, modified for use in space.
- 5.8 GHz WiFi
- 4kx3k pixels (12 MP)
- Fixed 18-mm lens
- No LED/LCD display
- Metal caseThe primary purpose of these cameras is to check the health and status of the spacecraft and to aid in problem diagnosis.

Here is a fascinating time-lapse video of the full construction, assembly and installation of NASA’s Deep Space Station 53 (DSS-53) at the Deep Space Network’s Madrid complex in Spain.
The video covers the period from November 2018 to March 2020. The antenna became fully operational in late February 2022.

Construction of the new 34m antenna DSS-23 at NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) site at Goldstone, CA, is progressing well. On Dec 18, the 34-meter-wide 133-ton steel framework for the Deep Space Station 23 (DSS-23) reflector dish was installed on a 20-meter-high alidade – a platform above the antenna's pedestal that will steer the reflector during operations.
The new antenna is expected to be operational in 2026.

U.S. Space Command confirms the break-up of the defunct Russian satellite Resurs P1 yesterday. It resulted in over 100 pieces of trackable debris.
Even though NASA has not identified the satellite that resulted in the defensive posture at the ISS yesterday, it probably was due to this satellite.
Cause of satellite break-up is not known at this time.

The Halley VIa Research Station operated by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is located on the Brunt Ice Shelf as shown in the map below. It used to sit on the A-81 iceberg area as seen in the map above and was moved to its current location in 2016 before A-81 broke loose.
BAS notes that this A-83 calving was expected, the ice shelf is stable and they don’t expect a response to this new event.

Recorded sightings of Halley’s Comet go back more than 2,000 years. One of the famous recordings is in the Bayeux Tapestry which depicts scenes from the Norman invasion of England in 1066. The tapestry is displayed in a special museum in Bayeux, Normandie (France).

@markmccaughrean has a thought-provoking thread on why we should "build a new mission to Halley in the footsteps of ESA’s Giotto, Rosetta, & Comet Interceptor. To rendezvous with it, fly alongside, & return again in 2134."

Although research published as early as the 1970s predicted the importance of CH3+ in interstellar chemistry, it has previously been virtually impossible to detect. It took a sensitive infrared space-based telescope like JWST to finally detect it.
