#OTD in 2011, we discovered Kepler-20e, the first planet beyond our solar system smaller than Earth. In all, we've confirmed six exoplanets in the system orbiting a Sun-like star more than 900 light-years from Earth. exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/… #NASAExoplanets
This artist's animation flies through the Kepler-20 star system, where NASA's Kepler mission discovered the first Earth-size planets around a star beyond our own.
5 Unintended Consequences of Photography, including deciding elections, enabling modern art, and driving social change. saturdayeveningpost.com/2022/0…
Photographs were more than just pictures. While the inventors never intended more than to capture an image, the medium turned into a social force with far-reaching effects.
If this ruling stands, it'd mean that basically every health insurance plans in America (because of the health insurance marketplace) would be required to cover everything WPATH SoC8 deems medically necessary.

One of the best parts about a hackathon is people coming together from around the world in the name of code. The team that created the new organizational chart is a prime example of that.
I was actually wondering this yesterday as I read about the end of the Mars InSight mission: "Why doesn't NASA put windshield wipers on the solar panels to clear off the dust?" youtube.com/watch?v=qC32eIs8xX…
As we say goodbye to Mars InSight, let’s look at this common question: why doesn’t NASA put windshield wipers on the solar panels to clear off the dust?
"Sonic Visualiser is a free, open-source application for Windows, Linux, and Mac, designed to be the first program you reach for when want to study a music recording closely.

We send robots to places people cannot yet go. They are humanity's farthest extensions and our representatives to worlds beyond our own. @NASAInSight is a very good robot💙 #NASAExoplanets
I was delighted to find this surprisingly modern usage of the concept of trash-talk in George Eliot's 1871 novel Middlemarch: "The trash talked on such occasions was the more vexatious to Lydgate..." Surely among the earliest usages? kottke.org/22/12/talking-trash…

O Trappist-1, O Trappist-1, how lovely are thy planets!
We know you are all eagerly awaiting Webb's look at this system of 7 Earth-sized worlds. The telescope has observed all the planets, and preliminary results (including atmospheric properties) will be out in the new year! #JamesWebb
Using light that has passed through the atmosphere of these planets during their occlusions of their home stars, we can literally determine atmospheric composition using a spectrometer. Each element gives a unique spectrographic result. We can read atmospheric composition from hundreds of lightyears. Fucking awesome.
Also, any rocket surgeons, feel free to correct any mistakes in my understanding. I am but a lowly history major.
You think I'm joking? I'm not. Okay, okay. It's not a game but I'll get to that in a moment. The Steam Deck has transformed everything about gaming for me.
.@nasa scientists are developing AI to help guide future astronauts’ navigation of the Moon using lunar landmarks and data gathered from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Another chance for you to get a free game, and perhaps take a look at some tasty discounts too with the GOG Winter Sale 2022 now giving away Broken Sword: Director's Cut.
I don't really see myself returning to GOG until they support a Linux client for Galaxy. 🙁 Sad. I spent years solely at GOG, until Steam came out with Proton. Now I spend all my game money there.

I wrote a thread that user questions, problems and suggestions to send to you. If you can take a look, it's there on reddit reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments…
Eugene, you need to add a news aggregation service to Mastadon similar to Apple News. Make it a paid for extra and provide payment back to news companies. It would be a winner for news services and encourage them to join Mastadon. It would also help you attract a larger user base, make money, and challenge Twitter. Apple News is useful but it lacks interaction. Do a deal with them.
A dedicated Star Wars fan and code hacker has created something awesome: The Force Engine. A brand new free and open source modern game engine for Star Wars Dark Forces.
Though regarded by many as near-impossibly difficult to judge, avant-garde art can be put to its own test of time: does it still feel new ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred years later?
