The HR 8799 system harbors four super-Jupiters orbiting with periods that range from decades to centuries. We’re currently monitoring this system to understand if and how this system is dynamically stable. This footage consists of 7 images of HR 8799 taken with the Keck Telescope over 7 years. Video made by Jason Wang, data reduced by Christian Marois, and orbits were fit by Quinn Konopacky. Bruce Macintosh, Travis Barman, and Ben Zuckerman assisted in the observations.

I rotate my arms regularly just because I like it when they do this.

iiiiiii dont. think thats how bones work

Here are two videos on Reddit demonstrating how the radius bone rotates around the ulna bone: link / link

Yeah i doubt someone would make these gifs for the purpose of an online joke so I have no choice but to believe it

i have a degree is bones (bioarchaeology) this is how bones work and i hate it

For fellow autistic people who aren’t sure whether this is a joke: I asked my mother, who has an MD, and she said this is in fact how those bones rotate

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret
never to be told

Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a chance
you must not miss
Eleven for a wasp
Twelve for a bee
Thirteen for a coffee
Fourteen for tea

Fifteen for a pencil
Sixteen for a pen
Seventeen to hear
these options once again

Eighteen for pepper
Nineteen for salt
Twenty for an accident
in which you were not at fault

Twenty one for Jerry
Twenty two for Tom
Twenty three – where are all these
magpies coming from?

Twenty five no seriously
Thirty this is weird
Forty eight from where have all these
magpies suddenly appeared?

Sixty two stop counting
Seventy just run
Ninety nine the revolution
of the magpies has begun

Two hundred no more sorrow
Five hundred no more fears
One thousand for how long
the empire of the magpies will last
in years
