Scott Manley speculated that the problem was clearly engine-related, as the other engine was fed correctly with fuel. Couldn't fire correctly, lots of flaming at the top of the nozzle...

Real time 3D map of stuff/junk in space. Makes you wonder how we launch anything and not hit something else. Pretty interesting, can see the speed and when it was put up and all the debris.

Some crazy stuff.
GW190521: The Impossible Black Hole. An animation of the merger of two black holes to form an intermediate-mass black hole (GW190521). This "explainer video" is an artistic rendering and not a numerical simulation. Aimed at a non-technical audience, it provides a general explanation of the event and discusses possible formation scenarios of the progenitor black holes.

“Farfarout” – Astronomers Confirm Solar System’s Most Distant Planetoid
A team, including an astronomer from the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA), have confirmed a planetoid that is almost four times farther from the Sun than Pluto, making it the most distant object ever observed in our solar system. The planetoid, nicknamed “Farfarout,” was first det
