Elon Musk will never win a popularity contest but his Starlink receiver dishes might among cats … many people in frigid climates are finding their dishes are malfunctioning as stray cats discover the dishes give off heat and make great outdoor warm spots on cold days. The cats will flee as soon as Musk. Read more »
While studying the icy Saturnian moon that is fortified with a 12.4 mile-thick shell of ice, Cassini witnessed strange geysers rising from the surface via fissures called Tiger Stripes, which etch Enceladus south polar region. This material originated from a global subsurface ocean hypothesized to exist beneath the moon s wintry blanket, where there s a sizable chance some form of life might be dwelling.
Unlike Earth s relatively shallow oceans, Enceladus’ waters have been speculated to be far deeper on average and might actually extend over 18.6 miles from the frozen crust s bottom to the boundary of the hot solid core. Here on this satellite world, heating dynamics are not reliant upon the Sun s warming rays like Earth s oceans, but arrive via chilled water lying close to the cold crust and the deepest part of the ocean, which is blasted by heat from the moon s superheated core.

763 NGC 1808 is barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Columba. It was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop from Australia, who describe it as a faint nebula . It is a barred spiral with marked similarities to our home Milky Way Galaxy. NGC 1808 is distinguished by a peculiar nucleus, an unusually warped disk, and strange flows of hydrogen gas out from the central regions. Amidst all of this, because NGC 1808 is undergoing with intense star formation activity it has been deemed a starburst galaxy. NGC 1808 is relatively close to our Milky Way, and spans in about 35,000 light-years.
