Lunar Transit Authority: Powered By Imagination And Zero Oxygen
Nothing says "scientific literacy" quite like putting a jet engine on the Moon. The image shows what appears to be an aircraft turbine on the lunar surface with a headline about building a train network there. Fun fact: jet engines need oxygen to combust fuel, and the Moon has approximately zero atmosphere. It's like bringing a fish to the desert and wondering why it's not swimming. Next brilliant idea: solar panels for the dark side of the Moon.

Primordial Gases Vs. Modern Emissions: The Ultimate Showdown
The ultimate evolutionary showdown! On the left, we've got ancient cyanobacteria - the OG oxygen producers that transformed Earth's atmosphere 2.5 billion years ago. On the right, molecular oxygen's sassy diagram looking all "bond with me, bro." The cyanobacteria literally changed the planet's chemistry and enabled complex life while today's carbon-emitting "gassy bois" are reversing their hard work. Talk about ungrateful descendants! Those little bacterial chains were pumping out oxygen before it was cool, creating the conditions for everything that followed. Meanwhile, modern gases are just trying to turn Earth back into a hot mess. The bacterial ancestors are probably rolling in their microfossils right now.

The Green Screen In The Sky
Fascinating. Someone who thinks the absence of atmospheric light scattering is evidence of a film studio. Next they'll tell us astronauts float because they're hanging from invisible strings. The irony is that without an atmosphere to scatter light, you'd expect exactly what we see - a bright sun against a black backdrop. But sure, NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing and he insisted on shooting on location.
