💁🏻♀️ TIL: ☀️🌍 For decades, scientists assumed #Earth would spiral into the #Sun when it swells into a red giant billions of years from now.
A new study flips that prediction. Better modeling of tidal dissipation inside dying #stars finds that the Sun’s mass loss from stellar wind may push Earth outward, potentially saving it from incineration.

Speaking of D&D classes, and magazines, and specifically White Dwarf. In Issue 35, they presented a Necromancer class. Then in Issue 36, someone presented some follow up spell abilities for the class.
Want to know who wrote these abilities in 1982?
He is still around and making RPG additions to this day.

Eternal ponderings. D&D did not have perception as an ability score.
In my homebrew, I added perception.
Come to find out, such quandaries were happening since the beginning. In White Dwarf Magazine Issue 17 published February 1980, Barney Sloane proposed the same idea.

Games Workshop: "Two classic issues of White Dwarf are being added to the Warhammer Vault this month!"
/me checks the Vault
I don't believe that 18 month old issues of White Dwarf are "classics" 🤨
Go back further than WD284 from August 2003, you cowards!
