This little dot is Earth about 6 Billion kilometers away (3.7 billion miles) taken by Voyager 1, as it was leaving our solar system. So much life in that little Pale Blue Dot Voyager distance: Now roughly 13.9 billion miles, or 22.3 billion kilometers.

"Huippupedon paluun pitäisi olla hyvä asia. Sen pitäisi palauttaa systeemiä takaisin luonnontilaan, mutta me ihmiset olemme sekoittaneet kaikkea muuta sinä aikana." - Kim Jaatinen, @SYKEinfo #haahka #merikotka yle.fi/a/74-20167344

What’s That Sound Coming from the Tree? Turn your volume up. Capturing clean audio of birds used to be a nightmare: tangled cables, wind noise, dead batteries, and enough curse words to warrant a sailing fleet. Then Sony dropped the ECM-B10, a tiny shotgun mic that plugs right into the camera’s hot shoe. No wires. No fuss. Just click and you’re rolling. This isn’t a commercial. I just genuinely love gear that works and this one works like a charm. Don’t take my word for it. Here’s a chorus of baby Pileated Woodpeckers to prove it.

La guerre de la Russie contre l'Ukraine n'a pas commencé le 24 février 2022. Elle a commencé il y a plus de dix ans, en Crimée. Depuis, le Canada a toujours été clair : nous sommes aux côtés du peuple ukrainien.

François Hollande estime que l'affrontement entre Trump et Zelensky a été "prémédité". "C'est une manœuvre consistant à déconsidérer l'invité, à l'intimider, puis à lui demander de signer un accord." #le710inter

On March 2 1995, the CDF and DZero collaborations at Fermilab announced they had each observed a new subatomic particle—the #TopQuark, one of the building blocks of nature. 🔗 Read the 1995 top quark announcement: news.fnal.gov/1995/03/physic… #TopQuark30

It's the #TopQuark30 anniversary! Here's a look at an illustration of a pair of top quarks reconstructed in the DZero experiment. The final decay products are two muons (turquoise), a neutrino (pink) and four jets of particles. #fermilab #TopQuark #physics

The three stars in Orion compared to the Sun: The stars in Orion's Belt are simply massive. They are all blue supergiants: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.

Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind. 📽: NASA Goddard
