They Keep Saying That

Poor little Pluto is out here sporting cosmic BRUISES from the planetary rejection trauma of 2006! The red patches? Just the emotional scars from being kicked out of the planet club by those mean International Astronomical Union bullies. The dwarf planet equivalent of crying into ice cream after a breakup—except the ice cream is frozen nitrogen and methane. Scientists are still "confused" about these patches, but Pluto knows the truth. It's just waiting for its redemption arc... "Dear NASA, notice how I'm still orbiting perfectly after all these years? #StillAPlaneInMyHeart"

Plot twist: humans are the universe's viral infection! The top shows various virus structures - hexagonal capsids, spherical virions, and bacteriophages with their creepy spider-like landing gear. The bottom shows our space tech - satellites, Sputnik, lunar landers, and rockets - which look suspiciously similar! We're basically cosmic pathogens spreading across space, injecting our genetic material (astronauts) into new hosts (planets). Next time you judge a virus for its lifestyle choices, remember we're doing the exact same thing but with bigger budgets and fancier press conferences.

This meme perfectly captures humanity's selective attention to existential threats! Mr. Krabs represents society calmly sitting through news of asteroid impacts and climate catastrophe, but absolutely losing it over a solar flare potentially disrupting internet access. Fun fact: Solar flares CAN actually disrupt radio communications and electrical grids! When the sun ejects coronal mass ejections (CMEs), these plasma clouds interact with Earth's magnetosphere, potentially causing geomagnetic storms. The 1859 Carrington Event was so powerful it caused telegraph systems to catch fire - imagine what it would do to our precious Wi-Fi! But seriously, we'll ignore planet-ending asteroids and catastrophic climate change, but threaten our ability to doomscroll? That's when society panics!

The ultimate scientific rejection letter! Some poor soul thought they cracked the code to space travel with... wait for it... Coke and Mentos rockets! 🚀 NASA's response is pure gold - professionally shutting down the idea that a middle school science fair experiment could revolutionize space travel. The part about "a shit load of Coke" being scientifically inadequate has me dying! 💀 And the cherry on top? The applicant confused Buzz Aldrin with Buzz Lightyear AND glued mints to their application! This is what happens when your space knowledge comes exclusively from TikTok and YouTube pranks instead of, you know, actual physics.

Ancient Romans had the luxury of naming planets after their coolest gods, while modern astronomers are stuck with alphanumeric soup! Jupiter gets a majestic name befitting its massive size, but exoplanets get catalog numbers that sound like printer error codes. Imagine discovering a potentially habitable world and having to call it "OGLE-05-390L b" at conferences. No wonder that astronomer is facepalming while throwing darts—they're probably aiming at whoever designed the naming convention. Next groundbreaking discovery? Probably named HD-404-ERROR-PLANET-NOT-FOUND.
