✨🔭 OMG, NASA's #Voyager found a "hot" #wall in space—because we all know #cosmic borders need heating, right? 🚀🔥 Meanwhile, #IFLScience is more concerned with turning #newsletter subscriptions into a cross-galactic mission control. 📧👽

NASA's Voyager Spacecraft Found A 30,000-50,000 Kelvin "Wall" At The Edge Of Our Solar System

Temperatures there reach an astonishing 30,000-50,000 kelvin.

TFW you've spent ages trying to solve a tricky problem and it. just. does. not. work. Take a break, try something new, nope still noth... Wait! There it is! That's it! 🥳 #IFLscience! and in a busy day as opportunity to work uninterrupted* is so rare, *that's* why I love fieldwork.. #FieldDiary soon

Fighting a natural global crisis like the climate crisis seems like such a daunting task to many, and any hopes of actually making a difference is considered irrealistic quite often.

However, when a lot of people and especially politicians, manufacturers etc. work on turning things around, nature might indeed heal. It just takes time, but it's worth it, and that's not just a theoretical thing.

Just read about how Antarctica's ozone hole is closing, thanks to combined human effort:

Looks like #iflscience went to a #paywall and #personaldata gathering model. Sad, it had potential.

Any recommendations for good #science #blogs , #websites , and the like. Any topic is fine as long as #rss is available.
