If people are fighting for an orb you are reading fantasy. If people are fighting for a cube you are reading sci-fi. If it has more sides than that. I dont know. I dont know man.

On Earth, avalanches are terrifying. On the Sun, they are simply overwhelming. The @ESASolarOrbiter captured this magnetic avalanche on the Sun as it triggered a major solar flare. There's an outline of Earth at the beginning of the video for scale. esa.int/Science_Explor…

going to enjoy being one of the last educated people in the post-apocalypse. they're going to bring me scraps of books as I sit by the trash fire, whispering to each other 'garbage sage can see things in the markings' and I will read to them from the Very Hungry Caterpillar

@NOIRLabAstro And sometimes what looks like a planet being born is actually a smash-up in which a planet is being destroyed. We saw it happening twice (!) around the star Fomalhaut: clouds of debris that appeared and then vanished. arxiv.org/abs/2512.15861

Then there's the star J0705+0612, which suddenly lost 98% of its light. A new study suggests it got hidden behind a swirling, iron-rich cloud. Even weirder: The cloud seems to be the remains of a collision between two Jupiter-size planets. noirlab.edu/public/news/no…

Sometimes astronomers are watching a star and it just...fades away. This star in the Andromeda Galaxy might have collapsed into a black hole. Or it might have merged with another star & kicked a huge cloud of dark dust. Either way, strange days in space. arxiv.org/abs/2601.05317
