The weakest and dumbest are running our nations. Parents should be allowed to choose if their kids have whatever coloured eyes they want if the technology exists which it does. Same goes for anything else. Heart problems, multiple sclerosis or a host of other genetic defects could be eradicated. But no... not if religious fanatics with no comprehension of science keep dictating policy.

The team says they were surprised to find potential evidence for heavy water flows in the last billion years. That’s well into the time period when astronomers think Mars was losing its atmosphere and drying out. How a planet with so little sunlight and atmosphere stayed warm enough to host – not just a little surface water, but fast-flowing rivers – is hard to figure out. #Mars

Saturn has more than 60 moons, including giants like Titan and Enceladus, whole worlds with complex geologies and atmospheres. But embedded in its rings are smaller, rocky bodies that are just as mysterious in their own ways. #Saturn #Moons #Astronomy

Zoomy, which is about 6,500 light-years (1,992 parsecs) away in the constellation of Cassiopeia, is about 53 light-years from the centre of a bubble-shaped supernova remnant. Researchers think that the supernova explosion that produced CTB 1 could have been asymmetrical, which somehow kicked the pulsar into high speed. The explosion took place around 10,000 years ago. Zoomy caught up with the edge of the supernova bubble around 5,000 years ago. #Zoomy #Supernova #Astronomy #Cosmos #Pulsar #MilkyWay #Star
