The idea has always been to be an advice blog. In my life I find that it's always best to learn from your mistakes, and even better if you can learn from the mistakes of others. So here I am to help everyone learn from mine. I am not a trained psychologist and I will not play one I'm am simply here to help those who want to have someone to speak with about things they feel they can not share with anyone close to them.

New results from our Juno mission suggest the planet is home to “shallow lightning.” An unexpected form of electrical discharge, shallow lightning comes from a unique ammonia-water solution. ⁣

⁣It was previously thought that lightning on Jupiter was similar to Earth, forming only in thunderstorms where water exists in all its phases – ice, liquid, and gas. But flashes observed at altitudes too cold for pure liquid water to exist told a different story. This illustration uses data obtained by the mission to show what these high-altitude electrical storms look like. ⁣

Understanding the inner workings of Jupiter allows us to develop theories about atmospheres on other planets and exoplanets! ⁣

I was sitting in this exact spot almost… a hundred years ago. This was silent movie house before they built it back up. My mama played the piano right over there. It burnt, too. Last thing I saw before my world ended was Bass Reeves, the Black Marshal of Oklahoma. Fifteen feet tall in flickering black and white. “Trust in the law,” he said. And I did. So, I took his name after Tulsa burned. He was my hero. That’s why I became a cop. Then, I realized, there’s a reason why Bass Reeves hid his face. So, I hid mine, too.
