Seems pretty obvious the northern half of the planet contained a large ocean.

Yea the click-baity tweet makes it sound like it's some dramatic discovery but the idea isn't new by any means because dry river features on Mars have been known about for decades. It's more about cementing evidence that there was indeed a water ocean (and not a liquid CO2 ocean for example, which would leave behind different minerals) and finding out why it's no longer there. It's also thought that beaches might be a good place to look for fossilized life in future missions so this is a good discovery.

*EDIT* 30 minutes to get one selfie (with overexposure). Also, I lost 10 IQ reading the NASA stream chat. thepeopletheyareretarded-meme.gif

M42 - (The Orion Nebula) is a diffuse nebula located approx. 1,344 light years from Earth and is visible to the naked eye due to its brightness.
Processed using Siril, Starnet ++, GraXpert and taken with a Seestar S50. This is stacked from a little over 3 hours of images.

Sand blasted into space after a billion or two years and/or absorbed into the interior.

Watching the booster get caught by the tower never gets old. Fucking amazing.

Catch was amazing considering not all engines that were supposed to lit up on the boostback burn. Good to see them do it even with a partial failure like that, I could have easily imagined NASA aborting the catch for something like that. It's a willingness to take at least some risk which is by far the best way to learn.
