This is one of the clearest images ever captured of Saturn’s mysterious North Pole - and at the centre is a massive octagonal-shaped storm that has been raging for decades. The strange eight-sided jet stream stretches over 18,600 miles (30,000 km) across, large enough to swallow more than two Earths side by side. The octagon remains one of the strangest weather systems in our solar system.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The storm at Saturn's north pole is hexagonal (6-sided), not octagonal (8-sided). Real images show a six-sided structure ~30,000 km across.

A new visitor from the outer Solar System, comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) also known as SWAN25B was only discovered late last week, on September 11. That's just a day before the comet reached perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun. First spotted by Vladimir Bezugly in images from the SWAN instrument on the sun-staring SOHO spacecraft, the comet was surprisingly bright but understandably difficult to see against the Sun's glare. Still close to the Sun on the sky, the greenish coma and tail of C/2025 R2 (SWAN) are captured in this telescopic snapshot from September 17. Spica, alpha star of the constellation Virgo, shines just beyond the upper left edge of the frame while the comet is about 6.5 light-minutes from planet Earth. Near the western horizon after sunset and slightly easier to see in binoculars from the southern hemisphere, this comet SWAN will pass near Zubenelgenubi, alpha star of Libra, on October 2. C/2025 R2 (SWAN) is scheduled to make its closest approach to our fair planet around October 20.

Bom dia. Acabo de ler “O Projeto”, de David Graham, jornalista do Atlantic, dos EUA. Graham dissecou o documento “Projeto 2025”, elaborado por extremistas alojados na Heritage Foudation, tendo à frente os ultraconservadores Russel Vought e Paul Dans. Lá vai fio:

Faleceu um dos maiores fotógrafos dos mundo, o brasileiro Sebastião Salgado, que além de fotografar fez isso com a fazenda dele. Meus sentimentos a família e ao meio ambiente.

ATENÇÃO: Câmara dos deputados ameaça "parar o Brasil e não votar nada" em represália ao fato do Flávio Dino ter proibido o orçamento secreto. Ou seja, a direita e o centrão vão prejudicar o povo se não tiverem acesso a grana de forma "escondida".

Did you know?
There's an Interplanetary Transport Network in our Solar System, used to launch spacecraft from Earth and send them to the desired destination.
It is a collection of gravitationally determined pathways through the Solar System that require very little energy for an object to follow.
The ITN makes particular use of Lagrange points as locations where trajectories through space can be redirected using little or no energy.
Interplanetary transfer orbits are solutions to the gravitational three-body problem.
The ITN is based around a series of orbital paths predicted by chaos theory and the restricted three-body problem leading to and from the orbits around the Lagrange points – points in space where the gravity between various bodies balances with the centrifugal force of an object there.
Notable spacecraft that used the ITN were the ISEE-3, launched in 1978, the Hiten lunar mission in 1991, NASA's 2001–2003 Genesis mission, and the Chinese spacecraft Chang'e 2.
