Random crits. Fair and balanced.

In this simulated view of Mars with enhanced color and contrast, darker grey-toned areas of Mars represent grey-black basaltic sands of volcanic origin; lighter patches show clay and sulphate minerals; and the large scar across the planet's face is Valles Marineris.

These photos are heavily exaggerated, with their contrast boosted. It's a great way to visualize the rock and mineral composition in different regions. To the naked eye, Mars would look pretty much as you'd expect. Still really cool though!

You can actually find similar photos of the moon, too. Wallpaper material for sure.

Yup! The asteroid is called "16 Psyche" and the mission is named after it.

For sure, it's such an earworm. Honestly, there's so many good songs in the album, it's hard to pick a favourite. Black Cadillacs, Satin in a Coffin, Bukowski and The View are all great contenders, too.

OpenMW is basically the gold standard if you want to play Morrowind in 2023. Can't say I'm not looking forward to Skywind though—the newer engine and assets are insane.

My personal favourite engine remake is OpenRCT2. Rollar Coaster Tycoon still holds a special place in my heart even with all the newer titles. Multiplayer alone is a literal game-changer.

"We found that the more time people spent in space, the larger their ventricles became," said Rachael Seidler, a professor of applied physiology and kinesiology at the University of Florida and an author of the study. "Many astronauts travel to space more than one time, and our study shows it takes about three years between flights for the ventricles to fully recover."

Space has proven challenging for the human body. I know that prolonged habitation affected bone density and increased the risk of kidney stones, but are there any other well-documented health concerns?

[EDIT] I looked into it and found a few other concerns:

  • Vision problems
  • Muscle density loss
  • Radiation sickness ( ! )
  • Weakened immune system

I would totally recommend their other songs too, especially from this album: Good News for People Who Love Bad News.

The only community I really miss is r/todayilearned. Just some quick, interesting facts. Having an alternative here would be fantastic.

Mmm, that looks fantastic. The ground strawberries really pop.

To fix the preview, you could try changing the link to this instead?

Welcome! And thank you, I'm really happy you liked it. 😄

 

Originally scheduled to launch in September 2022, Psyche was scrubbed last year after delays in development and testing of its flight software.

Located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, Psyche is 140 miles/226 kilometers wide, rotates on its side and, according to its reflectivity, appears to be made largely of iron, nickel or gold. As such, planetary scientists think it could be a rare example of the core of a planet exposed to space in a cataclysmic collision.

It’s even been said that Psyche could be technically worth $10,000 quadrillion. That’s way more than the global economy, which is worth about $105 trillion in 2023 according to Statista.

Psyche is now due to launch from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy between Oct. 5-25, 2023, conduct a flyby of Mars for a gravity assist and arrive at the asteroid in August 2029. It will then spend 26 months in orbit, making observations from different altitudes.

Now in an Astrotech Space Operations Facility near Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the spacecraft twill this month begin its final assembly, test and launch operations.

You can try uploading it to another website like Imgur and then applying that link to your post. When I made a submission, it seemed to work perfectly.

I'm going to try blending the rice flour like you said and see if my food processor can handle it. Maybe by tomorrow, I'll be able to try out that recipe. Thanks!

My mother loves Battenberg cake but she can't get it in Canada, so I decided to make her some instead. I didn't bake two separate cakes to get the tile pattern, but it tastes just as good.

This is the recipe we used as the base, substituting caster with fine white sugar. I would totally recommend it! The marzipan, apricot jam and sponge cake work so well together. 😊

That sounds delicious! We don't have mochi mix here, so I'm a bit jealous. I'd love to see how it turned out.
