Couldn't let this one slide by. Humanity has made it's first confirmed observation of an object from outside our solar system. While scientists have suspected for some time that asteroids drifting through interstellar space must come through the solar system from time to time (one a year was one estimate), this oddly shaped space rock is the first one we have actually seen and studied.

Fly-By of Interstellar Asteroid Portends Quadrillion Trillion More in Galaxy

And there are also theories that there could be actual planets drifting through space as well but we haven't seen any of those yet.

looking at an artists interpretation of the asteroid...RAMA IS BAAAACK!
(or a giant. cosmic. coprolith. azathoth's gift to its worshippers)
 
"giant. cosmic. coprolith"

Copper O' fonts ... or just copper type ... as the lithograph escapes into thoughts? God knows where thoughts go ...

That was actually one of my first thoughts as well. One of my all-time favorite S-F novels. As hard as S-F gets in terms of scientific rigour (it's a Clarke novel and being an engineer, he tended to the hard end of the spectrum) but also full of awe and wonder.
 
Nice piece from PBS Eons on one of my favorite extinct species, Gigantopithecus. G. is the largest primate that ever lived and is related to the modern orangutan (which is why the artists impressions in the video make it look like a giant orang). Some have suggested G as a candidate for the Yeti/Sasquatch but the most recent known remains are c 100,000 years old, making such a survival unlikely, and we don't actually know if it walked upright (as alleged for the cryptid apes) as no leg or pelvic bones have been found. It is still a fascinating bit of primate evolutionary history, regardless.

Even Lucy remained underground for many years to keep out of the Luciferase sight of those that didn't believe in extended temporal spaces required for the development of generalized relative cognizance!

It perhaps still isn't here yet due to the eternal probability functions ... given time anything can happen in eternal stretches ... angst to those devoted to mortal times (limited issues)!

how do/did u folks feel aboot this?
personally i'm amazed that already to me this is old hat
we're so good at what we can do, the amazing over time becomes normal and i laugh at my reactions
also i found out that google AI (this particular one is based around how we think the human brain works...called a neural net) helped find it...so thanks to Skynet for their continued service lol (so wowzers a codiscovery by both a gov't agency that is steeped in the occult and a google...)
i just hope that when google finds alien life that they don't check them for their alien privilege and make sure they are diverse enough lol
 
also good thing our Visitor didn't turn out 2 b a Berserker probe

Man has gotten so smart about not having to think they lost it ... natural thoughts were automated ... thus auto ma Toons ...

The boon of man to bide in until bodes ... when they are forced to sacrifice up the subconscious in rye form ... tis a spirit as' ole?

Is there a chance of bide in IT out?
 
Hey, guess what? Dinos also had ticks to contend with. Not sure about Lyme disease, though.


Also, a nice second story about some cool neurological research.
 
For those who, like me, are into both cosmology and British humour, PBS has a treat tomorrow night:

Eric Idle's The Entire Universe | PBS Programs | PBS

Eric Idle of Monty Python and physicist/tv presenter Brian Cox present a musical about astrophysics. It was well received when it played in Britain last year. And, yes, it ends with the Python classic, The Universe Song.
