What if you had to take a picture of a donut on the moon?
The moon is 238,000 miles away.
That's what the Event Horizon Telescope (a system of radio telescopes) was able to do, but all the way out to the center of our galaxy.
Or, another way to think about it:
If an astronaut held up a donut on the edge of the moon, that black hole would be about the same size from our position here on Earth.
This is the terrifying donut about 25,000 light years away:
This is one of the first big investments in a solution to extract CO2 from the atmosphere using technology: https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/19/politics/doe-carbon-capture-investment-climate/index.html
HiPOD 19 May 2022: Sedimentary Rocks inside Terby Crater
The sedimentary history of Mars is important to understanding climate change and the evolution of Mars. Sedimentary rocks consist of fine particles carried by the atmosphere and/or water and deposited in generally flat-lying layers, which become indurated (turn into rock) over time.
Distribution of COVID cases in San Francisco as of 5 days ago. Red circles mean it is still increasing.
The two big circles south of Market St could be due to a homeless shelter and a testing facility. Nevertheless, they were not there a few weeks ago. So, the data collection may have changed or there is a significant shift away from BayView (southeast section of town).
Despite the Tech, Science and Philosophy we have developed, I still believe we are still under a smothering blanket of inefficiency that stifles mankind's potential.
We see this a normal, everyday life. (traditions, animosity, friction, sickness, war, death...)
But I can envision a near-term future where this smothering blanket dissipates and extraordinary things start to happen at an extraordinary pace.
And, we will look at our history and wonder "why did we take so long to get here?"

This is a few days old, but an insightful and historical breakdown on why the Russian pincer strategy in the Donbas is probably going to fail.

Hey @Render, I just listened to a Peter Zeihan video about how the Ukr strategy will probably change in the near future.
1. US Intel is providing highly accurate geo-intel on commanders
2. The Excalibur projectile will provide greater range and accuracy to within 16 ft
These two attributes together will give the Ukr army an ability to execute a decapitation strategy.
Valid?
Meet the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Maybe it'll get here by 2024!

This Ukr recon guy is awesome!
