Planet with extremely fast winds discovered Scientists have discovered something incredible 500 light years from Earth – the gas giant WASP-127b, where winds blow at 33,000 kilometers per hour. These supersonic flows are six times faster than the rotation speed of the planet itself and significantly exceed the most... powerful winds in our solar system. "We have never seen anything like this before," says Lisa Nortmann from the University of Göttingen. "Part of the planet's atmosphere is moving towards us at an enormous speed, while another part is moving away at the same speed. This indicates the existence of a supersonic jet stream around the planet's equator." For comparison: the fastest winds in our solar system were recorded on Neptune – "only" 2,000 kilometers per hour. WASP-127b is unique in other ways as well. Although it is larger than Jupiter, its mass is significantly less, making the planet unusually "fluffy".show more

What the heck how does that even work. Insane! Really cool, the wind planet. Dante’s first circle of hell w the lust and wind etc.

What is the nature of an existence that is experienced entirely outside of time itself? Can a single decision that is made in a state of timelessness simultaneously affect EVERY point in time and space? Groundbreaking reconciliation of creationism with natural science.

Here are some fun facts about the comet!!! THE BERNOULLI X-FILES! (Yes Beaker is more of a Dana Scully type) Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS: 1.Discovery: The comet was discovered by two independent teams, one from the Purple Mountain Observatory (Tsuchinshan) in China and the other by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) in Hawaii, in early 2023. 2.Bright Comet Potential: C/2023 A3 has the potential to become one of the brightest comets visible in recent times. Traveler: The comet is moving at a speed of around 180,000 miles per hour (290,000 kilometers per hour), a breakneck speed as it journeys through space toward the inner solar system. 4.Close Encounter: At its closest approach to Earth, in October 2024, the comet will pass at a distance of about 70 million kilometers (43 million miles) from our planet. 5.Long Period: Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is considered a long-period comet, meaning its orbit around the Sun takes more than 200 years, though the exact length of its orbit is still being studied. 6.Sun-Grazing Distance: The comet will make its closest approach to the Sun, known as perihelion, in September 2024, coming within about 0.39 astronomical units (AU) of the Sun (about 58 million kilometers or 36 million miles), which is closer than the orbit of Mercury! Did you see the comet?

Saturn doesn’t just have rings — it rules an entire miniature solar of 2026, the ringed giant boasts 292 confirmed moons, far more than any other planet, with the number still climbing as astronomers keep spotting tiny new ones. Dominating them all is Titan, a colossal world larger than the planet Mercury. With a thick nitrogen atmosphere, rivers and lakes of liquid methane, and a diameter of 5,150 km, Titan feels more like a planet that got captured than a mere moon.Titan orbits Saturn at a safe distance of about 1.2 million kilometres — well beyond the outer edge of the famous ring system. Those dazzling rings, made of countless icy particles and moonlets, are confined much closer to the planet, while Titan sails majestically around the entire sprawling family of satellites. The sheer crowd of moons — from planet-sized Titan down to kilometer-scale irregular rocks — reveals just how gravitationally chaotic and crowded Saturn’s neighborhood truly is. It’s a dynamic, ever-evolving system where collisions, captures, and gravitational dances continue to shape one of the most spectacular regions in our Solar System.

Lost in Jupiter’s Eternal Storm Have you ever gazed up at the night sky and felt the gas giants quietly guarding secrets older than humanity itself?This breathtaking view of Jupiter reveals a planet of pure, chaotic majesty. Massive bands of ammonia clouds swirl in hypnotic patterns, driven by winds reaching hundreds of miles per hour. Ancient storms — some larger than Earth itself — have raged continuously for centuries, including the iconic Great Red Spot, a colossal anticyclone that has stormed for at least 400 years.What looks like the masterful brushstrokes of an cosmic artist is, in fact, raw planetary physics playing out 484 million miles away. Turbulent eddies, towering cloud tops, and shifting atmospheric chemistry paint Jupiter’s face in ever-changing hues of cream, ochre, rust, and white.Staring into those infinite swirls is profoundly humbling. This is the Solar System’s largest planet — a massive shield that gravitationally protects the inner worlds from wayward asteroids and comets. Yet for all its protective power, Jupiter remains wild, untamed, and full of mysteries we’ve only begun to understand.

Stephenson 2-18, the biggest mf star in the known Universe. Larger than UY Scuti, Antares, Vy Canis Majoris, you name it. 🤩 The estimated radius is about 2,150 times that of the Sun, and the volume is 10 billion Suns. If Stephenson 2-18 replaced the Sun in the solar system, its photosphere would extend beyond the orbit of Saturn. It would take earth’s fastest jet over 500 years to travel around. It would take almost 9 hours at the speed of light. Data from @planets_education.org Video from / tiktok / spacenstuff

Earth Could Survive the Sun's Death: New Models Offer Hope 🟠 Our planet has a chance of surviving the Sun's transformation into a red giant and avoiding total destruction in its thermonuclear inferno. Earth's ultimate fate will be determined by a delicate balance between the gravitational pull of the swelling star and its loss of mass; as the star loses mass, its gravitational grip will weaken, allowing the planet to drift to a safer orbit. Astronomers from KU Leuven (Belgium) have revised predictions regarding the future of the Solar System. They conducted gravitational simulations that accounted for the internal structure of aging stars, and their findings were published in the journal *Astronomy & Astrophysics*. In approximately five billion years, the Sun will exhaust the hydrogen fuel in its core, causing it to expand hundreds of times in size and transform into a massive red giant. At that point, a "tug-of-war" will begin within the Solar System, the outcome of which will decide Earth's fate. On one hand, the star's massive expansion will generate powerful tidal effects that act to slow Earth down and drag it inward. On the other hand, the star will actively shed its outer layers into space via powerful stellar winds. As it loses mass, the Sun will become lighter and its gravitational grip will weaken, enabling Earth to migrate further out into the Solar System. Updated calculations indicate that the effect of the Sun's mass loss could counteract tidal drag; in this scenario, our planet would have time to shift to a more distant orbit lying just beyond the radius of the expanded star. To validate their theoretical calculations, the scientists turned to actual observations of the dying giant star L2 Puppis, located 200 light-years away. In the past, it closely resembled the Sun, but now it is rapidly losing mass and is surrounded by a dust disk in which a large planet orbits. The fact that this world survived gives scientists strong grounds to hope that Earth might also be saved. However, there is no cause for optimism regarding our own system's neighbors: computer simulations indicate that Mercury and Venus will inevitably be completely consumed by the flames of the dying star. The launch of the PLATO space telescope will help settle the debate about our planet's future once and for all. It is scheduled to enter orbit next year to search for exop всяlanets around aging stars. 🌙

In May 1986, 21 UFOs were tracked across four Brazilian states. Six fighter jets were scrambled and attempted to close in on the objects but "they took off at a speed of 25,000 kilometers an hour" according to Brazil's Former Minister of Defense. The Brazilian Air Force issued an official statement saying these were aircraft flying in ways they technically don't understand. Brazil's former Defense Minister shares his thoughts on the phenomenon and this extraordinarily baffling event from 1986. "The fighters that we had at the time were state-of-the-art." "An object made its approach at a very high speed." "When he tried to approach it, the object took off at a speed of 25,000 kilometers an hour, according to what the radar picked up." "The existence of the phenomena is undisputed." Episode with Aldo Rebelo out now.

The fastest star in the Galaxy is S4714, which accelerates to approximately 24,000 km/s at its peak, or about 8% the speed of light. It orbits the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of our Milky Way, moving in an extremely eccentric orbit. At its closest approach, it comes to a distance of approximately 1.8 billion km from the black hole—comparable to the distance from the Sun to Saturn. From this distance, the angular size of the "shadow" of Sagittarius A* is four times larger than the angular size of the Sun in Earth's sky! Observations of S4714, conducted with the European Southern Observatory, are helping to test the effects of general relativity in the extreme gravity of the Galactic center.

Elon Musk: Everything is solar power. The rest is noise. “The sun is about 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter's about 0.1% and everything else is in the remaining 0.1%, and we are much less than 0.1%. So, if you burnt all of the mass of the solar system, then the total energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%. If you just burnt Earth, the whole planet, and burnt Jupiter, which is very big and quite challenging to burn, turn Jupiter into a thermonuclear reactor, the sun is 99.8% of the mass of the solar system and everything else is in the miscellaneous category. Basically, no matter what you do, total energy produced in our solar system rounds up to 100% from the sun. You could even throw another Jupiter in, so we're going to snag a Jupiter from somewhere else, you could teleport two more Jupiters into our solar system, burn them, and the sun would still round up to 100%. As long as you're at 99.6%, you're still rounding up to 100%. Maybe that gives some perspective of why solar is really the thing that matters. And, as soon as you start thinking about things at a grander scale, like Kardashev Scale 2 civilizations, it becomes very, very obvious. I'm not saying anything that's new, by the way. Anyone who studies physics has known this for a very long time. In fact, Kardashev, a Russian physicist who came up with this idea, I think, in the 1960s, just as a way to classify civilizations, where Kardashev Scale 1 would be, you've harnessed most of the energy of the planet, Kardashev Scale 2, you've harnessed most of the energy of your sun, Kardashev 3, you've harnessed most of the energy of a galaxy. Now we're only about 1% or a few percent of Kardashev Scale 1 right now, optimistically. But as soon as you go to Kardashev Scale 2, where you're talking about the power of the sun, then you're really just saying everything is solar power and the rest is in the noise. Like, the sun produces about a billion times, or call it well over a billion times more energy than everything on Earth combined.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025

Why Jupiter Appears to Move Backward in the Sky Have you ever gazed at Jupiter and caught it doing something weird?For months at a time, the Solar System’s giant seems to defy logic — it slows to a stop, then glides backward across the stars in a motion called retrograde. It looks almost magical… or even wrong. But it’s one of the most beautiful illusions in astronomy.Right now, Jupiter is in retrograde from November 11, 2025, to March 10, 2026 — about four months of apparent backward the real story:Earth is the faster runner, orbiting the Sun quicker than Jupiter. As we lap the giant planet (like a sports car overtaking a semi-truck on the highway), our shifting viewpoint creates the illusion. From Earth, Jupiter appears to pause, reverse direction, and loop back against the starry backdrop. Once we pull ahead far enough, it resumes its normal eastward motion.Jupiter itself never stops or turns around. It keeps cruising forward at over 47,000 km/h in its massive orbit. The backward drift exists only in our perspective.This celestial dance has mesmerized humans for millennia. Ancient skywatchers saw omens and mystery in it. We now see one of the clearest, most elegant proofs that we live on a moving planet in a moving Solar next time you spot that brilliant white “star” in the night sky, remember: you’re watching Earth overtake the king of the planets in real time.

🧵14/34 We move like plants --- First, consider speed. Informal estimates place neural firing rates roughly between 1 and 200 cycles per second. The AGI will be operating at a minimum 100 times faster than that and later it could be millions of times. What this means is that the AGI mind operates on a different level of existence, where time passing feels different. To the AGI, our reality is extremely slow. Things we see as moving fast, the AGI sees as almost sitting still. In the conservative scenario, where the AI thinking clock was only 100x faster, something that takes 6 seconds in our world feels like 6 hundred seconds or 10 minutes from its perspective . To the AGI, we are not like chimpanzees, we are more like plants.

Some people have DMed me saying that it is impossible for things to move faster than the speed of light as described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Therefore a higher intelligence from another star system would be too far away to visit earth. Here Bob Lazar explains how a gravitational drive (warp drive) operates by distorting or warping space-time. The spacecraft itself is not actually moving/traveling in linear space therefore it has a linear velocity of Zero. It is not actually moving in Newtonian physics terms. Thus it is not traveling faster than the speed of light and Einstein’s theory of general relativity stands. Watch this short 3 minute clip: 👇 UAP James

Thus it is not traveling faster than the speed of light and Einstein’s theory of general relativity stands. Watch this short 3 minute clip: 👇 UAP James

Astronomers have discovered a rapidly disintegrating exoplanet, BD+05 4868 Ab, located about 140 light-years from Earth in the Pegasus constellation. This Mercury-sized planet orbits its host star every 30.5 hours at a distance ~ 20 times closer than Mercury's orbit around the Sun, resulting in surface temperatures nearing 3,000°F (1,600°C). The intense heat causes the planet's surface to vaporize, forming a comet-like tail of mineral dust stretching over 5.5 million miles (9 million kilometers), which is about half of its orbital path. The planet loses a mass equivalent to Mount Everest with each orbit, and this mass loss accelerates as the planet's gravity weakens, leading to further disintegration. Astronomers estimate that BD+05 4868 Ab will completely disintegrate within 1 to 2 million years. This discovery was made using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which detected irregular dips in the star's brightness caused by the planet's extensive dust tail. BD+05 4868 Ab is only the fourth known disintegrating exoplanet, but it stands out due to its exceptionally long tail and rapid rate of mass loss. Its relative proximity to Earth makes it an ideal candidate for further study with instruments like the #JWST, which could analyze the composition of the dust tail to gain insights into the planet's internal structure. 👉

Couple of hits here at 1,200 yards, courtesy of the National Association for Gun Rights range. What's cool about this footage is the mirage, though, not necessarily the distance, caliber, etc. Look closely at the target and how the mirage distorts the edges of it. That mirage distorting that target means that we have wind. Finding ways to use mirage to your advantage are good. Mirage is a quick way to determine wind direction at distance. We can see mirage in front of that target moving left-right, without a lot of visible vegetation out there to otherwise determine what winds are doing. If we were to pan right FAR enough, we'll eventually see right to left mirage (the opposite direction). That intersect point, where the left-right (video) and right-left mirage converges, is the general direction the main winds are headed. If we do a 180-degree turn from that intersect point, it'll be the opposite. The mirage will be 'separating' instead of converging. That wind is coming towards us. The value of this is helping us understand what the winds are doing at the TARGET, not just what they're doing at our position. We can also use this from covered shooting positions where we can't FEEL what the wind is doing.

Jupiter looks like a living watercolor from space 🎨🪐 But those beautiful swirls are actually massive storm systems made of ammonia and water clouds racing across the planet at incredible speeds. Beneath that stunning surface, powerful hidden superstorms and lightning far stronger than Earth’s are constantly raging. What looks soft and peaceful is actually one of the most violent atmospheres in the solar system.

we built an IDE from scratch because we have a strong feeling that the future of coding is not moving fast enough there is this sense of urgency in the ai boom among us we hope to allow people to create something people want at that speed follow the changelog and more on Ara

BREAKING NEWS: SHENZHEN JUST MADE WORLD’S FASTEST CAR A BYD car broke records to become the fastest production car in the world. The Yangwang U9 achieved a speed of 496.22 kilometers an hour, which is 308.4 mph, at a car testing center in Germany. While jetfighters and specialist racecars can go faster, this is the fastest speed achieved by a factory produced car that people can actually buy. How much gas did it use? None. The BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme contains four electric motors to give it extreme thrust and special tyres designed to move at 500 kilometers an hour. Built in Shenzhen, China, it can also do the other cool stuff associated with Chinese cars – it can turn on the spot, jump over potholes and so on. But perhaps the most remarkable thing is that the BYD U9 was a concept just two years ago – and is now breaking world records. Pretty good for a toddler of 24 months.
