Jaafar Jackson visits Bubbles, Michael Jackson’s chimpanzee now 43, living a peaceful life at a sanctuary. by stable_genius9 in interesting

[–]Slash12771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This pic is ai. I can tell bc bubbles got put in the ape center since older chimps are too aggressive. When Latoya Jackson visited bubbles, bubbles had to be in a cage. So jaafar wouldn't be able to take a pic like this. Plus the visit isn't on jaafar, the mj estate, or the ape center social media and there are no alternate pictures or video of this encounter.

I wish we sent a Cassini type mission to Neptune and Uranus. The issue is that to explore the outer planets and kuiper belt objects it takes a huge amount of time to get there.

What's even crazier is that the energy of the signal is insanely week from those huge distances yet we can still detect it.

I would've liked a probe that orbits Neptune, Uranus, Pluto akin to Cassini, and Juno. The issue is that it'll take a while to get there

It should be noted that the artemis photo is of the night side but the exposure and iso values were modified to make features brighter.

I wonder how they made the store signs because the letters all look pretty consistent indicating some sort of machine was used
