The major rings of #Saturn are 280,000 km across but only ~10 m thick.
— Paul Byrne (@ThePlanetaryGuy) September 7, 2020
Small moonlets orbit between the rings, their gravitational wakes pushing ring material up to forming thin, blade-like ice towers.
And when the Sun shines just right... we can see their shadows on the rings. pic.twitter.com/xRH6NBgLYC

If you ever have a business idea and get discouraged thinking the market is saturated and it’s all been done, remember that Google was the 21st search engine to enter the market in 1998. A+ products make waves in almost any market, no matter how saturated. https://t.co/CRmiycRn3X

'Fall' was common in British English until the 17th century, when 'autumn', from French, took over. It's short for 'fall of the leaf' (just as 'spring' is short for the 'spring of the leaf') and was the successor to the Old English name for the season, hærfest, 'harvest'.

You won't find many original colour shots of people born in the 1840s, so this early colour photograph from 1903 is remarkable. It shows Rear Admiral William Acland (1847-1924) & was taken by his sister Sarah 117 years ago using the Sanger Shepherd process. (It's not colourised) pic.twitter.com/xhpsAdfXgc

This paper (from one of my favorite economists, I confess) is not headline-grabbing thanks to/because of its neutral language, but it finds that 40% of US economic growth in the last half-century is due to reduction in barriers to women and Black people in the labor market. https://t.co/bilhd1nAKS

My 10th grade Urdu teacher insisted that this sheyr (entire ghazal), written by Siraj Aurangabadi, now around 270 years ago, was possibly amongst the best ever written. I have now listened to it for 40 years; am just beginning to understand what he meant; why it just may be so. pic.twitter.com/0LEbZV5n5X

And you just shared it with your followers too! At least we now know what the authoritative internal finger numbering is.

I am with @kushal_mehra even though I am not an atheist. How does it matter what other people think/say to ones personal piety? It only matters in the political domain, in which case you have already subscribed to Abrahamic notions of blasphemy. Don't tell me you are a Hindu.
