This Suprahorizon Movie was taken on Sol 4223 (2024-06-23) at approximately 8:11 LTST and a solar longitude of 279.89°. (What is this?)

[mixedscholarlybag]

I cannot believe in an episode whos premise was 'ancient martian civilisation' they never actually let me go to my second home planet

[been-thinking-a-lot-today]

I possess so many graphs

[mixedscholarlybag]

Never underestimate the incredible healing power of being sent very specific graphs

[creasecrashing]

We really are deep in the offseason

[creasecrashing]

BUT ALSO: They're just doing this based off of elevation, which isn't representative of the actual distance to the Moon because Earth is a sphere! And now I have a compulsion to figure out what the real ranking is because I have two and a half university degrees in this area

[creasecrashing]

Okay I thought I had it but realized I made a critical error, so STAND BY

Unsurprisingly, the list is basically just "How far from the equator* are we?" (If anyone has any interest in the data for particular teams, I can post that too)

*Not actually the equator, but the furthest north latitude that the sublunar point reaches on Earth's surface, since every NHL team is north of that line

July 20, 1976: Viking 1 becomes the first American spacecraft to land on Mars.

The first of two Project Viking missions to Mars, Viking 1 landed on Chryse Planitia on the 15th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. During its six years of surface operations, the lander analyzed four samples of Martian regolith in search for organic compounds. The Viking 1 orbiter is best remembered for snapping a peculiar picture of Mount Cydonia, famously known today as the "Face on Mars".

Okay, so I got my fanart juices flowing long enough to FINALLY put my hands to the task of redoing a favorite piece of my old art with some updated canon information (Tattooing).

The Queen of Eddis, alternately titled "War Then." Copic and ink on paper.
