The new #season of #ForAllMankind is an excellent example of actual, for-real #ScienceFiction. #SciFi is at it's best when the backdrop of #futuristic #space and #technology is just used as a preamble to talk about today's #social and #political issues, and hot damn is this season EXACTLY that. First episode sets shit up magnificently, this is gonna be a good one. #Apple #TV #streaming #vod

Group Pushing Age Verification Requirements for AI Turns Out to Be Sneakily Backed by OpenAI

CEO Sam Altman happens to head a company that provides age verification services. Probably a coincidence.

Group Pushing Age Verification Requirements for AI Turns Out to Be Sneakily Backed by OpenAI

It gave the leader of a nonprofit involved with it "a very grimy feeling."

But wait! Here's another perspective on Saturn. This JWST image shows how auroras on the planet heat the atmosphere, which drives winds, which generate electrical currents, which help create more auroras...

It's an endless dynamic cycle that we've just discovered.

Image shows the asymmetric temperature structure revealed in the paper, as it was observed from JWST. These are offset from where the currents flow into and out of the planet, but ultimately, the winds generated by this temperature offset are what drive those currents.

Scientists solve decades-long mystery about why Saturn appears to change its spin

Researchers at Northumbria University have used the most powerful space telescope ever built to answer one of the longest-standing puzzles in planetary science – why does Saturn appear to spin at a different speed depending on how you measure it?

A tale of two Saturns. The one from Hubble shows visible light, the one from JWST shows infrared.

They're taken 3 months apart, so they also show Saturn's shifting angle relative to Earth. A welcome double dose of beauty.

NASA Webb, Hubble Share Most Comprehensive View of Saturn to Date

NASA’s Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes have teamed up to capture new views of Saturn, revealing the planet in strikingly different ways.
