Gemini South Aids in Discovery of Elusive Cloud-Forming Chemical on Ancient Brown Dwarf - 10-billion-year-old brown dwarf nicknamed The Accident unlocks clues to the chemistry of cloud formation on planets like Jupiter and Saturn

In the first discovery of its kind, astronomers have found silane in the atmosphere of an ancient brown dwarf nicknamed The Accident. This molecule plays an important role in the formation of clouds in gas giant atmospheres, but for decades it has eluded detection in planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The discovery was made possible with complementary observations from the U.S. National Science Foundation-funded Gemini South telescope in Chile and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

And you know what, #cryptocurrencies too converge to centralisation.

To paraphrase what I said before in one of my rants on this #mastodon instance, we need our non-tech friends to be able to run their social presence, private websites, everything they get "for free" from the giants from their computing devices, persistently.

That's why I care so much about giving the control over identity management to humans and integrate with with their existing patterns of them using their electronic devices.
