Robbie 👾 ⏳📖🖊️📴<p>“Recent research has suggested that planets can start forming just a few hundred thousand years after their host star begins to form — extremely fast on cosmic timescales.” ~ The Downlink <a href="https://babka.social/tags/PlanetarySociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlanetarySociety</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Downlink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Downlink</span></a></p>
Robbie 👾 ⏳📖🖊️📴<p>“When New Horizons flew by Pluto in 2015, it discovered that its prominent heart-shaped nitrogen-ice plain has no impact craters, meaning that internal processes are reshaping the surface. Despite being so tiny and so far from the Sun, Pluto appears to be surprisingly geologically active.” - The Downlink <a href="https://babka.social/tags/PlanetarySociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlanetarySociety</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Downlink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Downlink</span></a></p>

Robbie 👾 ⏳📖🖊️📴<p>“Because the Moon is getting smaller in our skies, total solar eclipses won't go on forever. In about 620 million years, they'll only happen when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit.
