    🤔 😖

    By peering into the distant universe, the observatory can essentially see back in time up to about 13.5 billion years ago. (Scientists have determined the universe is about 13.7 billion years old).

    @taniwharugby One wonders why they even bothered including a picture.

    This is the first tweet of a thread. There are some odd creatures in the oceans! With odd names.

    (For who doesn't know how Twitter works, just click on the X (or twitterbird if you still get that one) in the top right corner of the tweet to go to the thread)

    @Snowy said in Science!:

    Without reading his bio - John ended up in Perth? I'm going to put this here which will annoy some but it is engineering / science related and makes me laugh.:

    maybe answered maybe too old but I'm pretty certain he went to Melbourne and his wife was an academic there

    and I think one may be able to visit his park

    Satirist John Clarke left more than a comedy legacy when he died. Now, his family's giving it away

    Satirist John Clarke left more than a comedy legacy when he died. Now, his family's giving it away

    Helen McDonald, the wife of the late John Clarke, gifts the couple's eight-hectare property in Rhyll Inlet to a nature conservation group to create a lasting legacy for the much-loved satirist.

    which is in a way science-related...

    Having never been to Australia (other than airports in transit), I had never heard of this animal before.
