Why do you think our reports and films have reached hundreds of millions of people in dozens of languages, all around the world? Because I made them to be the very best I could. I did not hold back. I bought the very best computers, software and filming equipment I could. I also went to the best university I could, to learn media. I did my best, I purchased the best, I learned from the best, because I want to make the BEST THERE IS. thsnls no bs

​ Put Interest On Ice Until Nearly 2026 Did you know some credit cards can actually help you get out of debt faster? Yes, it sounds crazy. But it's true. The secret: Find a card with a "0% intro APR" period for balance transfers. Then, transfer your debt balance and pay it down as much as possible during the intro period. No interest means you could pay off the debt faster. Find out more​ ADVERTISEMENT

Skywatching See Mars make a close pass to the moon tonight (Chris Vaughan/Starry Night) As seen from the United States, the moon will rise in the east about four hours after sunset and will stay visible throughout the night, remaining high in the sky until after sunrise. Just above the moon will be Mars, shining brightly as an orange-yellow orb. The Red Planet and the moon will also join up in what's known as a conjunction during the close approach. They'll share the same right ascension, the celestial equivalent of longitude that, put simply, measures how far east an object is of the point where the sun intersects the celestial equator on the vernal equinox.

Spaceflight Chandrayaan-2 avoids collision with South Korea Danuri sat (ISRO) India's Chandrayaan-2 moon orbiter maneuvered in September to avoid a close approach with South Korea's Danuri spacecraft, according to a recent report from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The report said the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter raised its orbit on Sept. 19 to prevent a close approach to Danuri, which was expected to occur two weeks later if Chandrayaan-2's trajectory went unchanged. The report noted that a subsequent maneuver, which took place on Oct. 1, also helped Chandrayaan-2 avoid potential collisions with other orbiters around the moon, including NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

Science & Astronomy 5 stunning galaxy images tell a story of cosmic evolution (INAF/VST-SMASH/C. Tortora et al. (2024)) Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) located in the Atacama desert region of Northern Chile, astronomers have revealed five stunning portraits of galaxies in the local universe. The images of these galaxies show their shapes, structures and distributions of stars in stunning and colorful detail. Some of the galaxies are located at the edge of the so-called "local group," a galactic collection that includes our home, the Milky Way, while others are more distant. Full Story: Space(11/19)

SpaceX 'It's bananas:' Toy fruit becomes Starship zero-g indicator (SpaceX/collectSPACE.com) An artificial banana floated peacefully in the microgravity environment of outer space on Tuesday (Nov. 19). No longer needing its attached tethers, it just hung there, suspended in the bay of its steel spacecraft's otherwise empty cargo hold. The fake-but-full-size fruit made history as the first zero-gravity indicator to fly on a SpaceX Starship. Full Story: Space(11/19)

(Brigid Slinger) Lucy's last day: What the iconic fossil reveals about our ancient ancestor's last hours From a distance, it might have looked like a small child was wending her way through the waving grass along a vast lake. But a closer look would have revealed a strange, in-between creature — a big-eyed imp with a small head and an apelike face who walked upright like a human. She may have looked warily over her shoulder as she walked, on alert for saber-toothed cats or hyenas. But she likely had no idea it was her last day on Earth. Roughly 3.2 million years later, her skeleton was unearthed by paleoanthropologists and the stunningly complete fossil was nicknamed "Lucy." Her remarkable species, Australopithecus afarensis, may have been our direct ancestor. Our discoveries about Lucy have transformed our understanding of humanity's tangled family tree. In fact, anthropologists have learned so much about Lucy and her kind that we can now paint a picture of how she lived and died.

The Banana original art went for 9 million or so apparently.

This is an obvious blatant forgery, an erect Banana, shocking, just shocking how this can be done, the obvious time, artistic talent that went into this work......but at least you have a perspective with a 9" brick for those perverts out there.

Also I heard rumours B1 & B2 are suing for Banana abuse. Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1?
