    I understand it, now. The color gray. I've got a strong feeling I'm on the right path.

    A View of San Francisco’s Leaning Tower From Space

    New satellite data showed the city of Pleasanton, bottom right, rising as well as movement along the Hayward Fault, running north-south on the center right. Green indicates no detected movement. Yellow, orange and red indicate where structures are sinking. Blue represents rising sites. Credit European Space Agency

    The left "lobe" of Pluto's heart-shaped feature is a 600-mile-wide (1,000 kilometers) ice plain known as Sputnik Planitia.

    But a new study suggests that the ice buildup came first and the accumulated material eventually pushed the underlying landscape down, much as Greenland's enormous ice sheet has done here on Earth.

    Because the earth rotates, and revolves around the sun, and the sun moves around the center of our galaxy, which moves through space itself, you will never be in the same place twice. Ever.

    I'd like to try space lettuce.

    Do you think it would be like the devil's lettuce?

    does a planet have enough raw materials to build that?

    How much wiring? And drywall?

    No, no, no, you find the planet made of steel then machine it down to a Death Star.

    I may not be smart man but I do know what planets are made of.

    I don't understand, is Maximus banned or not? How did he come back and then get banned again? What's going on?

    As Cassini nears the end of its mission, it continues to beam data back to Earth, including this image of Saturn, its rings and the tiny moon Mimas. The craft's wide-angle camera captured the image of the sunlit rings on July 21, 2016.
