This Cool Caterpillar In Peru Will Transform Itself Into Looking Like A Snake When It Feels Threatened

would pluto really use the word plox???

I don’t know why this headline is so hilarious to me

why haven't i deleted this yet omg i was sooo immature my old posts are so gross 😁😥

im a hipster guys, im about the size of russia i could go to starbucks

people act like Pluto was dealt a bad hand bc they thought it was a planet but later classified it as a dwarf but consider this: there are 4 other dwarf planets in the solar system that most people don’t even know the names of so Think Again before you think Pluto is underrepresented

It was a huge disappointment as a child to fall in love with the stars and then find out how much math it requires to get anywhere near them. 

u r. Planet! !!!!!!

i m… Dwarf! !!!!!!!

Sometimes it amazes me that the Juno spacecraft was originally designed without any cameras onboard. The JunoCam instrument has produced stunning imagery of Jupiter thus far and shows no signs of stopping soon. The latest wonder is this false-color, high-contrast animation showing the motion of Jupiter’s clouds swirling and flowing past one another. 

Now, this is not Jupiter as you would see it by eye. This animation is derived from two images taken 8 minutes and 41 seconds apart. In that time, Juno  covered a lot of distance, so the two images had to be mathematically re-projected so that they appeared to be taken from the same location. Then, by comparing relative positions of recognizable features in the two photos and applying some understanding of fluid mechanics, observers could calculate the probable flow between those two states. Although this is a coarse example, it’s the same kind of technique often used in fluid dynamical experiments when measuring how flows change between two images. (Image credit:  NASA/JPL/SwRI/MSSS/G.
