This week I cover the new, horrible way the US government is planning to destroy the planet and the absolute nightmare fuel that scientists discovered hidden deep inside a cave. 🕷️🕸️ Please subscribe and share if you enjoy! It means the world ✨🐠 open.substack.com/pub/theniche...

What appears to be a craggy, starlit mountaintop kissed by wispy clouds is actually a cosmic dust-scape being eaten away by the blistering winds and ultraviolet light of nearby, massive, infant stars. What else did #NASAWebb find in Pismis 24? https://bit.ly/4mr3cmt
