We're trying, okay? It's not our fault they have all their preferences set to DNI.
Don't agree. There is so much interesting stuff happening in astrophysics. It's hard to choose one.
Vera Rubin going online is already giving us a huge boost to detecting near earth objects.
And neutrino astronomy is pretty much still in its infancy. There is still a lot to learn.
We're finding older and older objects every month. A potential bio signature has been found on Mars. We discovered our third Interstellar visitor. The next stage of the moon mission is about to launch people around the moon in the next few months. The crisis in cosmology is getting bigger and bigger.
Astrophysics is in a great shape.
It's still a few years away, but so excited for the Europa Clipper to get to Jupiter.
Dark matter is just matter hidden in darkness, hence we cannot see it. It's not some extraordinary substance. Mark my words.
it is because we invested so much in telescopes there was no budget for flashlights
Nah. Neutrinos and NEOs actually exist.
(It's funny because we can't stop them from passing straight through the pool.)
Do you want neutron weaponry? Because that’s how you get neutron WMDs
What about planet 9's likely discovery
Ammonite? aka 2023 KQ14?
Pluto is crying into it's pillow case right now. (If Pluto isn't a planet, then it's dubious that Ammonite is- for the same reasons.)
Very good video on it
Bigger than Neptune
i thought neutrinos were getting less attention because the huge japanese neutrino detector exploded
The implosion incident with Super-Kamiokande happened in 2001. Repairs were completed in 2006.

"HOLY FUCK, an IMplosion?!"
One of these tubes – each of which contains a vacuum – is thought to have imploded as the detector was being refilled with water following maintenance work.
I guess "vacuum tube crushed by water" needed a bit of punching up.
It was a giant cascade of implosions. More than half of the tubes (7000+ tubes) imploded. One popped which caused a shockwave which in turn imploded its neighbors which popped and set off their neighbors…
Oof that sounds expensive...
Well yes, one imploded, but the shock wave created by that first implosion then shattered 6600 of them.
did they see any since then?
