Happy 94th Birthday Pluto!

Cosmic Rick-rolling at its finest! The meme portrays the Andromeda galaxy as a celestial Rick Astley, ready to "never give up" stealing stars from any galaxy that ventures too close. In reality, Andromeda and our Milky Way are on a collision course set for about 4.5 billion years from now. When galaxies collide, they don't actually "steal" stars—they merge in a gravitational dance that reshapes both systems. But imagining Andromeda with sunglasses saying "You know the rules and so do I" before consuming another galaxy? That's stellar humor right there.

The rare "triple threat" of misleading science facts. Sharks have indeed been around for 450 million years, while Saturn's rings formed a mere 100 million years ago—possibly during the dinosaur era. But that coldest temperature claim? Pure nonsense. The cosmic microwave background is 2.7 Kelvin, far colder than anything Earth has experienced. And those "offensive" acacia trees? They do produce toxins when overgrazed, but they're not plotting revenge like vengeful botanical masterminds. This is what happens when Facebook and a half-remembered Discovery Channel marathon collide.

The space history joke we didn't know we needed! Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin get all the Apollo 11 glory while poor Michael Collins (the command module pilot who orbited the moon alone while his colleagues took those famous steps) sits forgotten in the depths of public memory. He literally circled the moon by himself while everyone celebrated the other two. The skeleton at the bottom is the perfect representation of how Collins is treated in space history - completely submerged and forgotten despite being absolutely crucial to the mission's success. Justice for command module pilots everywhere!

The cosmic terror is real! Massive stars casually fuse hydrogen through silicon without breaking a sweat, but when they reach iron, it's game over. Iron fusion actually consumes energy instead of releasing it, causing the star's core to collapse catastrophically within seconds. The resulting supernova explosion is basically the stellar equivalent of "I've made a terrible mistake." The universe's most dramatic energy crisis happens because iron's nucleus is too stable—it's literally too perfect to participate in the stellar fusion party.

The world's most impatient spectators aren't at sporting events—they're astronomers waiting for Betelgeuse to go supernova. Since 2019, when this red supergiant star dimmed dramatically, the cosmic community has been practically foaming at the mouth for the stellar light show of the millennium. "C'mon just explode" perfectly captures the scientific community's collective tantrum over this stubborn star that refuses to die on our schedule. The irony? We've only been waiting a few years while Betelgeuse has been prepping its grand finale for millions. Talk about stellar procrastination!

The ultimate nerdy rocket evolution! This brilliant meme shows SpaceX launches transforming into mathematical functions. We start with a straight-up rocket (linear function), then a parabolic trajectory (x²), and finally the gorgeous sine wave of a trigonometric function (cos x). It's what happens when aerospace engineers get too excited about calculus! The trajectory of the rockets perfectly mirrors their mathematical counterparts - proving once and for all that the universe speaks in equations. Rocket science is just applied math with extra explosions!
