This is *not* a space skull.💀 This is an X-ray binary system made of two parts: a compact stellar remnant -- either neutron star or black hole; and a companion star, with surrounding gas heated to millions of degrees.

Why is our Sun smiling? We think its because of all the planets it has, but it might just be coronal holes seen in ultraviolet light. (Regions where fast solar wind gushes into space.)

Ghostscript released a new PDF parser in summer - written in C, because it is faster and "safer" ... well we fuzzed it for a month and found 25 non-duplicate heap and stack corruptions and reported them (and which were missed by oss-fuzz) ... #fuzzing #fuzzer #afl
