Parents For The Planet

The anti-Blackness on this site is omnipresent and uncontrolled, and it keeps getting worse. And every time it gets pointed out, white people keep deflecting to another marginalization they experience. But Black people still aren’t safe just being Black here. That’s that on that.

It might make you happy to see the baby opossum my neighbor found yesterday and the pouch she put him in to come show us.

Sometimes this is what we can do.

'Eyeball' planet spied by James Webb telescope might be habitablewww.livescience.com Located 50 light-years from Earth, the beady-eyed exoplanet LHS 1140 b could be a perfect candidate for discovering liquid water outside the solar system, new research suggests.

This is an awesome discovery! The planet is tidally locked to its star, so the same side always faces the sun. That's why it'd have that 'eyeball' look--the sun's concentrated heat would melt the ice there that otherwise blankets the world.

YOU GUYS THEY FOUND AN EYEBALL PLANET

I am very fond of the planet we parent. But wow, look at ALL the other ones! www.thisiscolossal.com/2024/07/mart...
