This is going to be a big thread about climate change, energy, and @TheExpanseWR. Literal representation, analogues, creative decisions in general - I want to talk about it all! Will post my own thoughts, other ppl's tweets, etc.

The next great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be December 21, 2020. That date is, coincidentally, the date of the December solstice.

The rare occurrence will happen after sunset on Dec. 21, 2020, the start of the winter solstice.

Good morning America! You all seem thrilled about Biden’s moon rock. Its symbolism, of the scientific and exploratory achievements that have been made – and will ideally soon be surpassed – certainly hits home.

What you might not know is that rock has an *epic* backstory. 1/x

This rock is known as Lunar Sample 76015,143 - an unromantic name for one of the geologic treasures brought back from the Moon during the Apollo era. This was scooped up by the Apollo 17 astronauts, including Harrison Schmitt, the only professional geologist sent to the moon. 2/x

But that’s not where our story begins. The rock's sage starts 4.5 billion years earlier.

I don’t know if you know this, but you should: the Moon is a hole-punched volcanic crypt, a place sculpted by huge impacts and strange, epic effusions of lava. 3/x

We don’t know how the Moon formed. But the leading theory, partly because it’s the simplest, is that a Mars-sized protoplanet slammed into a magma ocean-covered baby Earth. The impact debris formed an orbiting disk, and it clumped together. Et voilà. 4/x

A whole bunch of cool stuff happened after that. But our moon rock comes into the picture around 600 million years later, around the time giant space rocks were pelting the Moon, Marco Inaros-style. They left some epic scars, mostly on the nearside for some unknown reason. 5/x

Neptune

Q: Thou are notified that thy kind hath infiltrated the galaxy too far already. Thou art directed to return to thine own solar system immediately.

Picard: That's quite a directive. Would you mind identifying who you are?

Q: We call ourselves the Q.

*entire bridge crew cringes*

Q: Oh? You've heard of me?

Picard: Are you associated with the conspiracy-driven propaganda hate group found on Earth in the early 21st century?

Q: Well I must admit, I have dabbled in such things from time to time... but specifically? No.

*entire bridge crew looks relieved*

Q: But this is precisely why I am here, Picard. You can't deny that you're still a dangerous, savage child race.

Picard: Most certainly I deny it. That nonsense is centuries behind us.

Q: Then prove it, mon capitaine, through trial by combat!

*entire bridge crew cringes again*

Q: I suppose you'd prefer a mock trial and execution? I have a gibbet right here!

*another round of cringes, some shaking their heads sadly*

Q: Now see here, I'm not going to let you steal this from me!

*many of the bridge crew look visibly ill*

Q: This is ludicrous! I'm not going to let the mistakes of the past dictate my options here and now!

Picard: That's what you've gotten wrong, Q. Look at us, look at humanity, here and now. If we hadn't learned from the past, it would not be possible for us to be where are are.
