Why does the Moon ring like a bell? Is it hollow?

Michael PorterJust... no.
Found this when I was searching for a simple Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
(A "what's wrong with this picture" exercise for the astronomy fans 😊)
newtonsenigmaFor anyone attending the WeTeach_CS 2023 summit, come hear me talk about how computer science can be integrated into physics and astronomy courses in high school. https://sched.co/1KcZ0 #cs4yall #computationalthinking #computerscience #physicseducation #astronomyeducation #weteachcs23

#DYK it can #rain on the #Sun? #Plasma rain occurs when large globs of super-hot gas called plasma gather in the Sun’s outer #atmosphere. When the globs of plasma become cooler and more dense than the rest of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, they drip back down on to the Sun like rain.

💢 You can't stand on Uranus
If we ever manage to travel to the gas planets, you might be in for a bit of a shock when you step off the spaceship. That’s because Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune don’t have solid surfaces - they have a rocky core, but are mainly big balls of hydrogen and helium.

Saturn's rings are 90% water
Saturn is home to the Solar System’s most epic ice rink. Being so far from the Sun, the water in its rings is frozen into ice. It is one of four planets that have rings around them - the other gas planets do too. However, the rest were undiscovered until the 1970s when probes went to explore them. Saturn’s were the first rings seen through telescopes from Earth.

As the air then descends, it becomes warmer and drier and therefore more stable. It blankets the region below and stabilizes the air contained within, causing people within that region to notice a calm before the storm.
