So the Sun is wobbling arround, because of the 3 giants. Fascinating.

Well, mostly Jupiter and a little bit of Saturn.

The link in your post links to a different image. Was that on purpose?

[-] nuko147@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Oopsy, fixed.

Yeah, i forgot how to post an image here without uploading it, so i used a random pic from that site to copy the Markdown code.

I wish that was updated for the current year (and beyond) It's important to know when giving OP's statement whether it's outside the sun at the moment

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
