It’s well known: What flat-Earthers fear most is Sphere itself.

This is really cool! A few days ago, I tweeted that you'd only be able to dig down into the Earth about 1% of the way towards the center before Earth itself became luminous. @KentRatajeski calculated the blackbody radiation color at every depth; here's what your eyes would see!

Fun fact: if you were to drill deep into the Earth, it would only be dark for the first ~60 kilometers. Below that, it's so hot that the Earth itself starts glowing in visible light. First red, it would become a "cool white" ~5000K at the center: almost as "white" as the Sun.

Studies confirm there is no risk of asteroid 99942 Apophis impacting Earth for at least another century. Originally identified in 2004, new data have better defined the orbit of Apophis, putting astronomers at ease. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3roCptG

Thank you, Veterans - for your sacrifice, your bravery, and the example you have set for all of us. Please join us in thanking and honoring our CHS Staff Veterans.

LIVE: Our @SOFIAtelescope has discovered water on the sunlit side of the Moon — but how much? How could it be used by future #Artemis astronauts? We’re using rovers, spacecraft, telescopes & more in pursuit of answers! Ask our experts anything on @Reddit: reddit.com/r/space/commen…

"Particles are flying all over the place. We really did kind of make a mess on the surface of this asteroid, but it's a good mess, it's the kind of mess we were hoping for." - @OSIRISREx principal investigator Dante Lauretta on the new sample collection images. #ToBennuAndBack

🚨Never-before-seen images from our journey #ToBennuAndBack Yesterday, @OSIRISREx captured these pics showing the spacecraft touch Bennu, press into its surface & stir up material. The team is busy analyzing what's likely to be NASA's 1st asteroid sample: go.nasa.gov/34gnGIK

🗓️ Mark your calendars: We will be revealing a new discovery about the surface of the Moon from our airborne @SOFIAtelescope observatory, and YOU are invited. ✏️ Pencil us in for 12pm ET on Monday, Oct. 26! To participate: go.nasa.gov/3dKNz6N

TAG! We're it! Just released: new @OSIRISREx views from yesterday as our spacecraft touched the surface of asteroid Bennu for about six seconds, and used its robotic arm to attempt to collect a sample of rocks & dust: go.nasa.gov/2HrfUCQ #ToBennuAndBack

This is pretty amazing. A unique form of time-based art from colored rice grains and a uniformly accelerated frame of reference.
