Weasel photographed riding on a woodpecker’s back
Photographer Martin Le-May captured the extraordinary moment of a weasel clung onto a green woodpecker as it soared through the air.
The photo was taken at Hornchurch Country Park in east London
@konstructivizm Where do you get this from? It’s amazing how this make believe stuff becomes theory. Here’s one for you- If the earth is truly a sphere, then recreate water sticking to a ball .
The Sun Has Just 22 Laps Left in Its Epic Galactic Journey
While we measure our lives in birthdays and calendar years, our entire Solar System is on a far grander voyage — one that makes Earth’s history feel like the blink of an eye.Our Sun is hurtling through space at 514,000 miles per hour (828,000 km/h), circling the center of the Milky Way once every 230 million years — a period known as a “cosmic year.” At that breathtaking speed, it takes roughly 230 million years to complete a single lap around the galaxy.The Sun formed 4.6 billion years ago and has so far completed only about 20 of these vast orbits. The last time our star was exactly where it is right now, the very first dinosaurs were just beginning to appear on Earth.Scientific models show the Sun is now middle-aged. With about 5 billion years of hydrogen fuel remaining in its core, it has roughly 22 galactic laps left before it swells into a red giant and eventually fades away. That gives our star a total lifetime of roughly 10 billion years.Think about that for a moment: all of human civilization — from the first cave paintings to space stations — has unfolded in just a tiny fraction of a single galactic orbit. While we obsess over decades and centuries, the Sun is silently carving a path tens of thousands of light-years long, weaving through spiral arms, star clusters, and interstellar clouds on a journey older than the dinosaurs and longer than anything our species will ever witness.We are passengers on a 10-billion-year odyssey that’s only halfway done.Source: NASA .

@konstructivizm 😂 First of all Dinosaurs are NOT REAL. Second of all who is cooking up these numbers 😆 you can’t just say the sun is 4.5 billion years old.
@Vidiyocontexts Are they so fucking STUPID, I mean, they don't have at all periferal vision -? Also they didn't hear it dropped in the water... Staged as fuck.
@Twin_Szn What a BULSHIT for 10 minutes... Obviously I don't stay to watch... Just someone happen to be there by accident, to film all the drama. Annoying
@astro_reid That heat shield did not survive the landing...
You might want to rethink how those shields are installed. Clearly installing them as panels will burn up on re-entry, but what the hell do I know.
Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.
@markw_astro@konstructivizm Because is a stupid AI rendering (CGI) You can see the cilindrica tube is not attached to the cone, but actually welded in place (so is fake, the picture)
:AS17-145-22254 (December 14, 1972)Floating silently against the stark lunar horizon, the Apollo 17 Command and Service Module (CSM) America is captured in this iconic photograph — taken from the ascending Lunar Module Challenger during the tense final rendezvous in lunar orbit.Just moments earlier, Commander Eugene Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt had lifted off from the Taurus-Littrow valley, leaving behind humanity’s last footprints on the Moon. Now, they were racing to reunite with Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, who had faithfully tended the CSM alone during their surface expedition.The image beautifully reveals the CSM in exquisite detail, including the wide-open Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) Bay in Sector 1 of the Service Module. This exposed “garage” housed a powerful suite of scientific instruments: the lunar sounder, infrared scanning spectrometer, far-ultraviolet spectrometer, plus the panoramic and mapping cameras and laser altimeter used to create the most detailed maps of the Moon ever made at the time.A small portion of the Lunar Module’s ascent stage is visible on the right — the tiny spacecraft that had just carried two explorers home from the lunar surface.This single frame captures one of the most dramatic and technically challenging moments of the entire Apollo program: the reunion of the two spacecraft high above the Moon, moments before docking and the long journey back to Earth.A breathtaking testament to human ingenuity, precision, and the final chapter of our first era of lunar exploration.
@TheRealErudi Male version of Brunette is Brunet, by the way. We dont have a ton of openly gendered words in english but they do exist.
(Waitor/Waitress, Widower/Window, ect ect)
@VaheO91877@archeohistories How pathetic you could be -?! Is someone ugly just because executes someone else -?! What have beauty to do with caracter -?!
@archeohistories Cleopatra looked nothing like Elizabeth Taylor. She was ugly and inbred harlot. She was evil and executed an Armenian King for refusing to bow to her.
