Some of the best views I've had in this game. Two landable atmospheric worlds and one vacuum world near a red dwarf and white dwarf binary. #EliteDangerous #StellarScreenshots

Meet Hoag’s Object, a galaxy that shouldn’t look like this Its enormous ring contains billions of stars Most ring galaxies are created by collisions between galaxies. But in this case, a collision appears unlikely So what created it? We still don’t know (Credit: NASA/(STScI/AURA)/Ray A. Lucas)

For Transport Fever 2, I highly recommend the Fantasia Map Generator mod. It creates some incredibly beautiful landscapes. #TransportFever2 #games #trains #FantasiaMapGenerator

Love the Orion concept. Very dirty radiation wise, but it could've opened widespread Human exploration of the solar system and possibly been capable of missions to the nearest stars. #space #Orion #starship

Before losing her life in 1986 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger, Christa McAuliffe was set to be the first teacher in space with plans to teach a lesson to kids around the world from orbit. Today is her birthday, and even now, her courage and dedication to education continues to inspire.

Ah, the classic EMD E8 which I became obsessed with after watching the 1976 movie Silver Streak (highly recommended). #trains #railroad #EMDE8 #SilverStreak #TransportFever2

Probably most famous for discovering antimatter, when his equations predicted electrons with positive charge, later named positrons, in 1930. They were detected experimentally in 1932. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933, shared with Schrodinger. #Dirac #OTD #antimatter #science

Paul Dirac, an English theoretical physicist considered to be one of the founders of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics, was born #OTD in 1902. In 1928 he formulated a fully relativistic quantum theory and predicted the existence of positron. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 1933

Exactly, what is it that attracts people to a whiny, rich, entitled self-important grumpy asshole who can't take even the slightest of jokes at his expense? Boggles the mind.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Starting to wonder if Merdred makes more sense as a 'ship rather than Merthur. They both have a lot in common and seem to relate easily to each other, when Merlin isn't acting paranoid and prejudiced. #Merlin #Merdred #Mordred
