Another one bites the (Moon)dust!

This is Intuitive Machines' #IM2 lander that once again toppled over after trying to land on Mons Mouton near the lunar south pole.

The picture had lots of detail hidden in the shadows which I brought out in processing.

Why do the odds of asteroids hitting Earth keep fluctuating?

@Salon explores the question with astronomy professor Richard P. Binzel: https://flip.it/0.AJBW

Here's the ugliest #globalwarming chart you'll ever need to see
#Earth is running a fever. That's not news. What's surprising is exactly how fast its temperature is rising
The plot: Monthly global temperatures since 1880 ...
No matter what baseline you choose, it's unarguable that the Earth is now rapidly heating.

The U.S. Space Force shares a photo of Earth taken by the X-37B space plane.

@theverge reports: "The secretive autonomous plane snapped the photo during experimental maneuvers in high-earth orbit."

From @sciencefocus: "In the scramble for clean energy that could help us transition away from fossil fuels, scientists may have found a new power source – and it could be lurking in our mountains."

#Saturn in #Infrared from Cassini

Saturn's cloud bands and a hexagon larger than #Earth are visible in infrared. Captured by Cassini in 2014, the image highlights the #planet's rings and shadows. The hexagon's origin remains a mystery. Cassini ended its mission with a plunge into Saturn in 2017.

The odds that asteroid 2024 YR4 would hit Earth in 2032 rose and then plummeted in recent days. The latter is good news, considering the asteroid is thought to have the potential to release 500 times more energy than the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. However, riskier asteroids may continue to pester our planet. Read more from @LiveScience:

We have all of us been warned , time & again. Some have listened, many more have not. Soon , very Soon , The #Earth , our #mother will shake herself and there will be much #death. We here, who know #Compassion will be called to rise and stand together to help those in need. Mark these words - i may be wrong and will WANT to be reminded but, i fear i am not very wrong. As a veteran , i swore an oath to the constitution and people but, i did not need to to join some fascist org like #Oathkeepers or #proudboys - which are False Orders of Extremism - to remember my oath.

I S E E YOU A L L ! May you always find water and Shade by my fire if you come to me
