Epic launch of SLS and Orion. So much better in the daytime to observe. Congratulations to NASA and everyone involved. Y’all made us proud.
My mom was a little kid when Apollo launched, and she saw it live on a tiny black and white TV in her village. Now she gets to see us return to the Moon with Artemis in glorious 4K. Wish...

Some stars leave nothing behind. Pair-instability supernovae predict that the most massive stars explode so completely that no black hole remains. For years, we didn’t have evidence. Now, gravitational wave data shows a gap in black hole masses — exactly where those explosions...
