.@PabloReports: What do you make of Nicki Minaj saying the moon landing never happened?
Kelly: You know what the Soviets said after Apollo 11? “Congratulations.” They tracked us all the way to the surface. I would suggest that she lay off the conspiracy theories and study some history.

Early Nimbus satellites made observations of sea ice that predate the sea ice satellite record. The satellites’ film rolls gathered dust in an archive for decades and were unusable to the scientific community until the Nimbus Data Rescue Project. nsidc.org/data/nimbus

In January 1986, I became the first (and so far only) spacecraft to explore Uranus, the second to last stop on my journey through the outer solar system.
Bonus: I found 2 new Uranian rings and 10 new moons. (Previously, only 5 moons were known!)

ALT Dramatic image of Uranus captured by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986, showing the planet as a thin, glowing crescent against the blackness of space. Only the outer edge of the planet is illuminated by the Sun, creating a soft, pale blue-green arc. The rest of Uranus fades into shadow, emphasizing its distant, cold, and mysterious nature. This image was taken as Voyager 2 departed the Uranian system, looking back toward the Sun.

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.
