    Assume the lineal ones are the new space x?

    I don't have a problem with them. They provide so many services and some good people would be alive now if GPS was readily available when I flew in PNG.

    There are fair few departing orbit, and some inbound as well. Guess that they are not man made ones, so where is the graphic from?

    Very cool, a map of our Galactic Super Cluster named Laniakea. The Milky Way is just a small part of this cluster.

    New Galactic Supercluster Map Shows Milky Way's 'Heavenly' Home

    A new map of a giant group of galaxies known as the Laniakea Supercluster is giving scientists a revealing glimpse of our Milky Way galaxy's home in the universe. See it here.

    And straight to the YouTube video:

    Just mind blowing stuff with the numbers and distances and sizes.

    A giant reptile has been found well-preserved in the stomach of a slightly larger marine carnivore that lived around 240 million years ago.

    Awesome

    "The carnivore likely fatally injured itself while trying to consume the enormous meal."

    Reminds me of:

    “It’s not a smoking gun,” said study co-author David Clements, an Imperial College of London astrophysicist. “It’s not even gunshot residue on the hands of your prime suspect, but there is a distinct whiff of cordite in the air which may be suggesting something.”

    I think someone forgot to carry the one. If you kill the person responsible for providing you your DNA, how do you exist to kill the person..?

    I think they were trying to say the alternative timeline thing with that whiteboard session with Doc?
