The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix

In this sonification of Perseus, the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center.

I just got back from Gen Con 2022 (the largest board game convention in the US) where we were demoing our game Hike It before the Kickstarter campaign. The map was made in #QGIS and is to scale, highlighting real trails, campsites, etc. in Great Smoky Mountains NP. #gischat

Apple's self-driving car could feature VR technology and no windows: vrscout.com/news/the-apple-c…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Apple has not announced any plans to make windowless cars or VR cars. It has simply filed patents for a variety of car-related technologies. Filing a broad range of patents without specific plans of use is common practice. The article linked explains: vrscout.com/news/the-apple…

Another massive Galeev thread on why Russia really is a different world.

@kamilkazani14 Mar 2022
Crisis and Jubilee: What's happening in Russia? Russia's spiralling into a deep crisis. It was visible before the war but now it's rapidly accelerating. And every major crisis entails mass redistribution of power, property and status. Because crisis is essentially a Jubilee🧵

And finally. The very fact of resistance against so much superior enemy very much empowers the Ukrainian mythology. It's enormous mythos building we are witnessing. The very phenomenon of war is inconceivable without taking into account mythological dimension
