My daughter practically stood on her head for three weeks when she found out my iPhone6 contract was coming up and it was still in great shape.
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Over the weekend, the Cassini space probe made its closest, and final, pass over Saturn's largest moon, Titan. This image was taken from < 600 miles above

It's really amazing what Juno is sending back.

And the stuff from Cassini is pretty wild too

QuotePlanetary scientists had wondered whether Jupiter would have a giant hexagonal pattern like that spotted on Saturn by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.On Wednesday, NASA released new images of Saturn's north polar region, which has changed color in the last four years, possibly because summer has reached the northern hemisphere.



QuoteIn contrast to the chaotic weather patterns at Jupiter's poles, a stable hexagonal pattern covers Saturn's north pole. A comparison of Saturn's north-polar region in 2013, left, and 2017, right. As the gas giant approached its summer solstice, the sun's ultraviolet light led to a yellow-ish haze.
