All kinds of #exoplanets orbit very close to their #star. Some look like the Earth, others like #Jupiter. Very few, however, are similar to #Neptune. Why this anomaly in the distribution of exoplanets?

While I agree, unless there is a way to do a full recruitment drive that filters out all the bad officers, we could end up in the same situation again.
Even the security guards at the Brixton O2 place took bribes. The whole system seems to have issues.

Every day provides a new reason (same as the old reason) to disband the Met Police and replace it with something better (like they did with the RUC).

There was no need to leave #Erasmus and indeed the devolved administrations wished to stay in the scheme but were kept in the dark by the U.K. Government - specifically by Lord Frost - regarding the matter right up until the end of negotiations . Young people are now paying the #Brexit price. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/turing-scheme-brexit-eu-erasmus-programme-study-abroad-funding-cuts/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter

Given what is going on in the UK that makes you a perfect candidate for promotion.

Turns out, Hot Jupiters have low geometric albedo of only 10%. The reason is sodium absorption in the planetary atmosphere. However, 10% is not negligible. One example: Kelt-1 b
This sort of thing is disgusting really, esp in 2023. Lets expose more of this capitalist exploitation.

"The National Restaurant Association uses mandatory $15 food-safety classes to turn waiters and cooks into unwitting funders of its battle against minimum wage increases."

When a planet reflects light from a star, this can be seen in an optical light curve as a phase dependent variation in total light coming from the system. We can observe different "phases" of the planet, and the amplitude of this variation tell us about the albedo of the planet.

Republican leaders love quoting MLK about being judged only by the content of their character without stopping to think how that might actually go for them.
For politicians it seems to be when it comes to important issues.

@zleap possibly! For Earth-like northern light, GJ 436 b would need a magnetic field, and we don't know if it has one. If not, something vaguely like aurora can still happen if a magnetic field is induced from currents in the planetary atmosphere.

LibreOffice 7.5 is revving up at the start line, ahead of the green light for its release in early February! Help us to test the development versions beforehand: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2023/01/17/libreoffice-7-5-rc2-is-available-for-testing/

January 6 committee found that Twitter and other social media companies gave Republicans preferential treatment on social media out of fear of criticism/reprisal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/17/jan6-committee-report-social-media/

That's how we roll
Space Shuttle Discovery rolled out to the launch pad #OTD in 1997, in preparation for STS-82, the second Hubble Servicing mission.
Must make for some great northern lights .

In the GJ 436 system, which hosts a Neptune sized planet, galactic cosmic rays are dominated by stellar cosmic rays, because the planet lies relatively close in to the star (0.2 AU). The stellar cosmic rays lead to high ionization in the atmosphere.
Is there a Atemis II info graphic to go along side the Atemis III one you posted a while back please ?
