Sometimes Saturn disappears. It doesn't really go away, of course -- it just disappears from our view when Earth's Moon moves in front. Such a Saturnian eclipse, more formally called an occultation, was visible in early 2025 along a small swath of Earth --

This doesn't look like a satellite, lol.
Looks more like a solar-powered security lamp, judging by the uneven arrangement of the panels.
Besides, a satellite re-entering the atmosphere would show signs of burning.
Funny how easily people fall for engagement bait!
Space exploration is HARD; but the biggest challenge isn't launching rockets through Earth's atmosphere nor overcoming propulsion fuel constraints nor landing rovers on distant worlds.
The real challenge is..
A 2018 study found that when asked to draw a scientist, an increasing number of schoolchildren in the United States were depicting women.
It got me wondering: What does a scientist look like to you? I'm now curious.

Terrence Howard isn't a Fraud not a genius.
Terrence Howard proves that 1 x 1 = 2.
Most people don’t know that the actor is a genius who has 60 granted patents out of 94 total patent filings.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Terrence Howard does not prove that 1 x 1 = 2; this contradicts standard arithmetic and his claims are rejected by experts as pseudoscience. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_…
Patent filings do not validate such assertions. insights.greyb.com/terrence-howar… patents.justia.com/inventor/t-das…

That’s actually known as The Pleiades. It’s not a constellation but an open star cluster containing over 800 stars that formed around the same time and across many cultures, it’s commonly known as the Seven Sisters, even though only six of its brightest stars are visible …
I cannot emphasise this enough: humanity’s next groundbreaking discovery may not be finding life on another planet but rather learning to decipher the signals and establish communication with the diverse lifeforms that already share our precious planet, Earth.
Singularity in Astrophysics; is where time equals to Zero.
