Just cause I always like to post Mitchell and Webb:

As long as no-one still believes anything *really* stupid, like vaccines causing autism.
Hidden inside meteorites, scientists have found the fossils of isotopes that once proliferated around the solar…
If it moves and it’s not supposed to: More Struts.
Add this one.

To non-rocket-scientists (and those who don’t play Kerbal Space Program), discussions of rocket science can…
Yes. And soon after reaching the 40% Tea Party level, the home planet of the Society falls under the rule of Donald Trump’s head in a jar. Kind of like Nixon on Futurama.
DIDN'T WE PUT THIS WHOLE THING TO REST WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE KARDASHIANS?!
I’m not saying we shouldn’t try, but it’s really like looking for a needle in a haystack. This picture always puts things in perspective for me... This is how far our radio waves have traveled so far. Alien civilizations would have to be much much more advanced/older than us in order for their radio signals to be…

The cryosphere is amazing, in a away it’s like looking at the oxitic ice cores of other planets without the intervening atmosphere.
Thanks for another outstanding summary of the findings from yesterday. I played hooky from work and watched the press conference but it was so much and so fast that it was really hard to take it all in. Some really nice science journalism, once again.
The more of Pluto’s surface we see, the more interesting landscapes it offers us to explore. Here’s a closer look at…
Continuing with the theme of very loose associations... is a joke, yes?
