Looks like we might have actually found the rest of the missing ordinary matter in the universe.

Bones of teenage girl that died 90,000 years ago shows that her parents were a Denisovan and a Neanderthal. First provable evidence that interspecies mating happened.

First provable?

I mean, spend a Saturday at a Walmart and you'll come away convinced that inter-species mating is a thing.

If only finding anything on Wired was as easy. Geesh, team of ADD kids do that site layout. NVM - I see what their dealio is - you either join or "back to wired.com" does just that. I'll save my $10

Was it the discarded packing peanuts from all the instruments that the astronomers ordered to detect dark matter?

I have an online sub. IIRC, the student rate is $5/yr, and they sent me a YubiKey that I'll never use.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Interesting.

Does sound like the beginning to a horror movie.

After hailing us with Third Stone From the Sun.

I bet they're telling us "Don't even think about it".

You guys go. I'll wait here.

Once inside the clouds, there is a massive exposure to extreme pressure and a high concentration of hydrocloric acid. Above the clouds, it's just the radiant heat and radiation of the sun you have to deal with.

Anything mankind has sent below the clouds hasn't lasted long. Pressures of up to 100 atmospheres have been reported along with the toxic atmosphere.

If you want a permanent Venus observatory, above the clouds is a perfect first step.

Parker Solar Probe made it through first pass of the Sun's Corona. Amazing.

"15 million miles from the surface of the sun"

There could be many definitions of surface...

Not really. I'm sure I could Google it, but don't really care *that* much.

Yep. There's so many "and then we found out, and THEN we found out. . . " with science it never ceases to amaze me.
