You ever hear a fact that utterly blows your mind? That would be impossible to believe if there weren't photographic evidence?
Saturn's rings can be counted like rings on a treestump. They tell the story of the entire Saturn system's history.
What's more, they aren't rings, they are spirals. The gravitational mechanics of Saturn's rings work similarly to galactic arms, only wound more tightly.
The density waves that are formed by "shepherd moons" aren't one-directional, either. In one of the pics attached, the gravitational wake of the moon Daphnis can be seen throwing up waves perpendicular to the plane of the rings.

This should be a viral national story in #US. After this team unanimously unionized, Google refused to come to the bargaining table.
A resolution supporting the workers was brought to the city council. The day the workers showed up to testify on the resolution, Google laid off the entire team.
This was the precise instant when YouTube Music employees became aware that we had lost our jobs, as we were addressing the City Council.

Owl and other extensions were a must have before.
I am looking forward to more protocol support in TB. If it works well, this will be a cause for a higher donation this year 🥳
