i gotta say, i don't know much about the solar system.
i never was particularly interested in it.. but i've recently read professor brian cox's book (which accompanies a bbc series) and it's completely fascinating.. i'm quite interested in pictures of mars.
martian landscapes seem familiar and different at the same time ….
Here's a video showing surface photos of Mars.

^^^ Pretty amazing!
Plus, the Martian sunset at the end of the vid … Martian sunsets are apparently blue rather than our red sunsets here on Earth. And the view of Earth in the Martian sky! Beautiful!!

Interesting post, Brock Talon.
And here's a NASA photo of the surface of Pluto …

Venus' slow retrograde rotation helps the roasting too. She turns like the truly original planetary gear - yes, good point.
Venus's day is longer than its year.
why is there a group so fearful of being tracked?
if you carry around a cell phone, your every movement is being tracked, even if you disable it.
court proceedings have shown google and apple can hand all the data over of all your movement.
The covid vaccine and microchip fears
^^^ whenever you give anyone any power, they will always - always - abuse it.
Whenever there's more tech, there's always be the possibility that those in authority will abuse it.
yeah, so boris johnson has plunged the whole of the uk back into a second lockdown.
kids are still going to school (thank goodness!
) but this second lockdown is ruining the economy and killing small businesses.. the first lockdown was forgivable because, at the time, nobody knew what we were dealing with.. but now, we know more and more about covid-19.. it is lethal to elderly people (the average age of deaths with covid in the uk is 82 years - the average age of deaths without covid in the uk is 81 years).. it is also lethal to obese people and people with diabetes.. i'd imagine hiv+ people are another vulnerable group.. but to everyone else, catching covid is fairly similar to catching the flu.
Schools being open makes no sense - WTF?!
Schools must be open. Education is very, very important. This should really go without saying.
Kids may not exhibit symptoms and they may still spread the virus, but then it should be up to the vulnerable groups to protect themselves.
Instead of common sense and rational procedure, what we've got is the nanny state interfering, not letting adults make rational decisions, closing down shops and putting our economy in stasis.
It's doing billions of pounds of damage.

Here's the surface of Venus.
^^^ Temperatures here are apparently hotter than Mercury. Venus's thick cloud cover keeps the suns heat in.
Venus was once thought to be possibly like modern Earth. Then the probe landed on the surface, lol.

It's Wonders of the Universe.
There is a BBC TV series of the same name (which I've not seen).
Prof. Cox is obviously knowledgeable and passionate, but he also explains things very well to absolute beginners such as me.
The book was very interesting - it goes into Mars, Venus, Saturn's rings, Saturn's moons Enceladus and Titan, Jupiter and Jovian moons Io and Europa.
It is fascinating, I couldn't put it down, lol.

Fact is we are only in a second lockdown in the UK - anyone know how many billions of pounds the two lockdowns have cost us so far?
How many small businesses have collapsed because of the two lockdowns?
Long term, we can't treat COVID and other diseases without a strong, thriving economy.

This is Uranus.
^^^ It is tilted on its axis approx. 95 degrees. This means that it's kinda 'laying down' rather than 'standing up'. Its North Pole is on the right in this photo. Its thin rings are also visible.
It also has at least 27 moons.
Pretty amazing ...
