Two Kalibr-carrying frigates, a missile ship, a patrol vessel: Ukraine hit four Russian warships in one night at Novorossiysk

Ukraine carried out the strike at the port where Russia’s Black Sea Fleet sheltered after fleeing Sevastopol.

Russia pulled its fleet back to Novorossiysk to keep it safe. Ukraine hit it there with 15 kinds of weapons at once
The overnight barrage fused jet drones, Neptune missiles and naval drones against the fleet’s last major refuge.

Sea drones, jet drones, and Neptune missiles hit one Russian port in a single night

Kyiv paired three different weapon types in a coordinated operation its president called unique against the Black Sea Fleet’s last big base.

🪨 Webb telescope finds signs of ancient disaster for Neptune's moons

｢ After being captured, Triton's own gravitational forces stirred up Neptune's original moons and caused most of them to collide with each other. Neptune's current inner moons eventually formed from some of the resultant debris ｣

Neptune Rings

In Neptune outermost ring, 39,000 miles out, material mysteriously clumps into three arcs. Voyager 2 acquired this image as it encountered Neptune in August of 1989.

An ancient moonpocalypse may explain #Neptune’s odd #moon #Nereid
The strange satellite was born in a steady, circular orbit around Neptune, then tossed into its elongated orbit during a chaotic encounter with a #Pluto-sized body that ejected or pulverized all its sibling #moons. This idea counters assumption that Nereid formed in #KuiperBelt, the cold reservoir of #space rocks in outer #solarsystem, and was pitched into its present orbit later.

#Uranus and #Neptune should be more than 60% rock. For decades, elementary students learned the same tale of the #SolarSystem: first come rocky terrestrial planets such as #Earth, followed by gas giants such as #Jupiter and #ice giants such as Neptune. “We really don’t know what these #planets 🪐 are made of.” https://www.science.org/content/article/uranus-and-neptune-may-not-be-ice-giants-after-all
