Explanation: Shackleton crater lies at the lunar south pole. Peaks along its 21 kilometer diameter are in sunlight, but Shackleton's floor is in dark permanent shadow. Still, this image of the shadowed rim wall and floor of Shackleton crater was captured from NASA's ShadowCam, an instrument on board the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) launched in August 2022. About 200 times more sensitive than, for example, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's Narrow Angle Camera, ShadowCam was designed to image the permanently shadowed regions of the lunar surface. Avoiding direct sunlight, those regions are expected to be reservoirs of water-ice and other...

Imagine what Biden will be like two years from now – or six years from now should he win re-election? He is a befuddled mess most of the time. Today he suddenly told a shocked press corps taking pictures of a meeting he was having that he was having a “major Press Conference” this afternoon. That was news to all of them! . . . .

ANNAPOLIS, MD — As part of its push for diversity and inclusiveness in recruitment, the United States Navy has announced that it will provide unlimited Bud Light for all new recruits. The Navy hopes this offer will entice recruits with an even broader range of alternative lifestyles to join the service."This offer will entice exactly the type of recruits we're looking for," said Rear Admiral Alexis "Lex" Walker, who runs Navy Recruiting Command.

Close Up Of ISS And Sun The Sun (Andrew McCarthy) The Sun is incomprehensibly massive, turbulent, and violent. It erupts high-energy radiation into space, some of which slams into the International Space Station rocketing around Earth. The ISS circles our planet 16 times a day. With the right telescope, from the right location, you can see it passing overhead. And for just a few precious milliseconds, the astronaut-staffed space laboratory will occasionally zip across the face of the Sun. Photographer Andrew McCarthy recently captured that split moment in a stunning portrait that took 12 hours to compose, three telescopes to...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has a “sugar daddy” while discussing Harlan Crow. Co-host Joy Behar said, “Cornyn, a Republican, says basically, it’s a racist attack, which is what he said when he was appointed to the Supreme Court, back in the day, when Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment. And they said it was a high-tech lynching of a Black man then, and now they’re also saying it’s racist. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “They use the black card more than I do.”

Recent research suggests a potential link between the diabetes drug pioglitazone and a reduced risk of dementia in people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The study, led by Dr. Eosu Kim from Yonsei University, analyzed data from 91,218 participants over an average of 10 years, showing that those taking pioglitazone were 16% less likely to develop dementia. This percentage rose to 37% in those taking the drug for four years. The effect was more pronounced in people with a history of ischemic heart disease or stroke. A study in the Neurology journal suggests that the diabetes drug pioglitazone may...

Ok, it is well-known that Biden was the stupidest man in the US Senate. And with Washington’s Patty Murray in the Senate, that is quite an accomplishment. But Biden is President and is still stupid and spiraling down the dementia rabbit hole. He is blaming Republicans for their budget proposal to end the debt ceiling crisis despite saying previously that he would negotitate. Apparently, Biden’s puppet masters are telling him to risk default by playing the blame game. So, US credit default swap (CDS 1Y, SR, EURO) price remains elevated which indicates that Biden, Yellen and Schumer may actually default...

So, he found an alternative: The Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer.in a letter dated May 1, he wrote: “Maintaining access to the Traditional Latin Mass is an important value for me as the chief liturgist in the diocese.”The new location is much better for the "vibrant community" (Bishop Thomas). Now, confessions...

Russell Fry, R-S.C., told The Daily Signal...

I've turned off Fox News completely, like many here, and in the aftermath, I've watched a couple of Megyn Kelly's Shows. NOW HOLD OFF, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING..."I WOULDN'T WATCH BLANKETLY BLANK OR HER BLANKETY BLANK BLANK SHOW ETC.!!!!!" Like just about everyone on this forum, she pis*ed me off with her chicken shit questioning of Trump during the 2016 debates, but She really upset me more, when she remarked on her Fox Show one night, that she had received a "creepy letter" from Donald Trump congratulating her on her new promotion at Fox. I thought what an ungratefully...
