It did hit our planet.

The term "harvest moon" dates back at least to the 18th century with other cultures celebrating or noting the autumn full moon long before. Blood moon can either mean a harvest moon or a lunar eclipse. Not really fair to blame the news. I'll give you super moon.

JWST isn't in the Earth's shadow. It orbits L2 to keep getting power to its solar panels. The imager is pointed away from the sun at all times and protected by its sun shield.

>Astronomers think that's too high for the planet to have an atmosphere." Err, Venus?

It's not that a high temperature prevents an atmosphere. The high temperature on the day side is evidence against an atmosphere. A dense atmosphere would redistribute heat around the planet, resulting in a cooler day side. That's not what was observed.

I mean I watched it because it was weird and offbeat. But if that's not your thing, this isn't the show for you.

Would that be consistent with the thermal measurements? Sounds like there isn't as much heat exchange between the day and night sides of the planet as there would be with an atmosphere.

It also means much more costly resupply missions.

I mean food poisoning has definitely turned me off of some food.

They were pretty explicit that SVB and Signature were getting an exception due to systemic risk. The Fed and FDIC would have to reach the same conclusion for another intervention. How many deposits in Oklahoma are even uninsured?

The USGS tracker usually has a Modified Mercalli intensity map when there's enough data.

Flu strains mutate rapidly. That's why they're updated and administered every year. We have a vaccine, but it hasn't been designed for the current sequence. The typical turnaround time for the annual flu vaccine is six months.

That's pretty normal for any tv show, even successful ones.

When properly curated, like op is doing, it's fine.

I'd much rather Brenda ping me over chat than have an unnecessary face to face meeting.

There was a segment on our local NPR station the other day about this.

One of the things they mentioned was having to strike a balance between pumping water from the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta for human use, and maintaining enough water flow to the bay to prevent backfill with salt water. One of the guests wrote an op-ed arguing for intelligent land use to allow water to refill the water table.

Aren't they all?

Interestingly, some of the soviet rockets did exactly that. The whole launch pad could rotate to pre-align the launch.

That would be plants and algae, but we're doing a good job of making the Earth inhospitable to them as well.

The chemistry is quite beyond me, but I don't see how this is "actual proof that this is what happened." As far as I can tell, they identified that this asteroid is similar to other water-rich asteroids and more intact than samples fallen to Earth. It suggests this type of asteroid is more common than previously thought. I'm not seeing the conclusive evidence here of the origin of water on Earth.

You're talking about a Gravity situation where the ISS is destroyed? Wouldn't the debris deorbit and burn up relatively quickly? They need a periodic boost to stay in orbit.

If you don't rock and stone, you ain't coming home.

This camera isn't meant to look good to us. It's meant for optimal computer recognition of features for navigation.

Where did you see people claim highest resolution photos? That's not the mission objective. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is getting better photos than Artemis ever will.

No, these are from the navigation camera. Basically doing the same thing as the star tracking cameras. High contrast is good and makes it easier for the computer to get it's bearings, but it doesn't make very pretty photos. There are other satellites looking for ice.
