Here's a good use for "AI" (a rebranded neural net, really): sorting through 100 million Hubble images & identifying hundreds of celestial anomalies. The set includes peculiar colliding galaxies, gravitational lenses, planet-forming hamburgers, and true enigmas. 🔭🧪 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

“The upper 1% can’t spend their money fast enough to keep the ratio against half the human race.”

France has become the first EU country to set up a consulate general in Greenland as Europe continues to strengthen its presence there. Senior Diplomat Jean-Noël Poirier takes office today as Consul General in Nuuk.

A feast for the eyes 🤩 This gorgeous starscape is a vista of the Lagoon Nebula. See the dark patches scattered all over it? They're huge, collapsing clouds of gas and dust that will soon give birth to clusters of young stars. Read more: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0936/  🔭 📷 ESO

Killing the CIA World Factbook might seem like small potatoes, but it was a touchstone of curated facts in a sea of disinformation.

I want to add something this morning.
