A vote for the #Tories - or #ReformUK - at the next General Election will be a vote against the #climate, @GeraldKutney, & in favour of the #fossilfuel #industry. It will be a vote for more #airpollution & more damage to the #environment & #publichealth. It will be a vote for #profits over #people & the #planet.

Knowledge Zone#DidYouKnow:A #Rogue #Planet (also termed an interstellar, nomad, free-floating, unbound, orphan, wandering, starless, or sunless planet) is an #Interstellar object of planetary-mass.
The #MilkyWay alone may have billions to trillions of rogue planets.
In October 2020, OGLE-2016-BLG-1928, an Earth-mass rogue planet, was discovered in the Milky Way.
Mikko TuomiA young #planet outside our Solar System.
The featured image from the #VLT surprisingly captures a distant scene much like our own Solar System's birth, some 4.5 billion years ago.
Although we can't look into the past and see Earth's formation directly, telescopes let us watch similar processes unfolding around distant #stars.
At the center of this frame lies a young Sun-like star, hidden behind a coronagraph that blocks its bright glare.
Surrounding the star is a bright, dusty protoplanetary disk, the raw material of #planets.
Gaps and concentric rings mark where a newborn world is gathering gas and dust under its gravity, clearing the way as it orbits the star.
Although astronomers have imaged disk-embedded planets before, this is the first-ever observation of an exoplanet actively carving a gap within a disk, the earliest direct glimpse of planetary sculpting in action.

itsveganjimDid you know that music legend #StevieWonder has been eating a fully #plantbased diet since 2014? 🎶
One of the best-selling artists of all time, he claims his motivation comes from a place of #health and #environmental awareness. Stevie first gave up pork and beef at the age of 24 before later committing to a fully plantbased lifestyle.
He says the diet makes him "feel good" and hopes to inspire others to help create a greener, more #sustainable future for our #planet. 🌎

Ohne Kollision kein Leben: Die Erde brauchte wohl Nachschub aus dem All
Nach der Entstehung des Sonnensystems brauchte es maximal drei Millionen Jahre, bis die chemische Zusammensetzung des Vorläufers der Erde abgeschlossen war. Dies zeigt eine neue Studie des Instituts für Geologie der Universität Bern. Lebensnotwendige Elemente wie Wasser oder Kohlenstoffverbindungen gab es auf dem jungen Planeten zu diesem Zeitpunkt jedoch kaum. Erst eine spätere planetare Kollision brachte vermutlich Wasser auf die Erde und ebnete so den Weg für Leben.
