LGBTQ+ Representation on TV Is Cratering. Does Hollywood Care? | Analysis
The loss of high-profile LGBTQ characters on TV is a troubling sign, but surprise hits like “Heated Rivalry” offer a glimmer of hope.

Did NASA just find evidence of ancient life on Mars? Perseverance rover spots complex carbon in Red Planet rocks
"Measurements of two mudstones show hundreds of organic detections, making this the most robust organic detection in Jezero crater."

Apparently an #impact crater candidate in Canada has been confirmed by field work: cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/me - no paper available yet.

Heute vor 58 Jahren: Am 23. Mai 1968 führten die #UDSSR in Degelen, Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan den 283. #Atomtest durch. Er diente der Waffenentwicklung und fand unterirdisch (Tunnel/Schacht) statt. 1968 fanden in der UDSSR insgesamt 17 Atomtests statt.

From V2 rocket-scarred London to Ukraine: how nature thrives in bomb craters
In the UK capital, Bomb Crater Pond is full of wildlife, while scientists studying land obliterated by recent Russian blasts 1,500 miles away have seen ‘how quickly nature begins to heal itself’

Kamo'oalewa,
a 131- to 328-foot-wide near-Earth object (NEO), was liberated by an asteroid impact between 1 million and 10 million years ago,
a smashup that created the moon's 13.7-mile-wide Giordano Bruno crater, according to the research.
"469219 Kamoʻoalewa" as it is officially designated, was discovered in 2016 by the Pan-STARRS 1 asteroid survey telescope on Haleakalā, Hawaii,
as part of NASA's planetary defense effort to discover space rocks…

Earth's weird 'quasi-moon' Kamo'oalewa is a fragment blasted out of big moon crater
"Like detectives, we used all known information regarding this Kamo‘oalewa and the lunar surface to derive a scenario for the origin of this object, starting from the impact that produced the Giordano Bruno crater."

Yesterday, I ordered a new pair of hemp shoes from 8000kicks.
UPS says they had in in Leiria, Portugal 2 hours ago - and plan to deliver it to me BY END OF DAY. That's about 2000km in less than 12 hours.
I'm not sure if that means I have to clear the field outside our house for landing of a freight plane or a helicopter - or if I just should expect a giant crater.

Tracking details of a parcel with UPS, showing it was scanned in Portal at 12:15, Estimated delivery: Friday, June 19 by End of Day in Winterthur, Switzerland

800 Million Years Ago, a Catastrophic Asteroid Breakup Rained Fire on the Inner Solar System - Universe Today universetoday.com/articles/800

800 Million Years Ago, a Catastrophic Asteroid Breakup Rained Fire on the Inner Solar System
On Earth, it’s hard to track events that reshape its surface, as the surface itself is being reshaped constantly by weather and tectonic or volcanic upheavals. However, the Moon is much more static, and scientists have been slowly unraveling a pattern that is noticeable in its craters - that something dramatic happened around 800 million years ago. A new paper by researchers at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), led by Dr. William F. Bottke, and accepted for publication in the Planetary…

Spatially distributed complex #organic matter detected in an ancient river valley in #Jezero crater, #Mars: #Raman spectrometer onboard the #Perseverance rover, we report the heterogeneous distribution of organic carbon within mudstones located in an ancient river valley on Mars. Measurements of two mudstones show hundreds of organic detections, making this the most robust organic detection in Jezero crater thus far, and, to our knowledge, the only detection of macromolecular carbon on a natural rock surface on Mars."
