It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.
Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.

Look at that amazing photo! Hubble struggled to even get good photos that made the rings visible. I'm sure there's some IR or false-color going on in this, but the state of JWST's optics is just incredible.
Still very cool though I assumed it was an illustration!
Right?! Remarkable.
It's an emoroïd

I knew it! I kept feeling something there sometimes.
