The word “raccoon” was adopted into English from the native Powhatan term, as used in the Virginia Colony. It was recorded on Captain John Smith’s list of Powhatan words as aroughcun, and on that of William Strachey as arathkone. It has also been identified as a Proto-Algonquian root *ahrah-koon-em, meaning “[the] one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands.”

Remember how the earth is hella big...

Remember how it’s smaller than the sun...

Well, this is how small the sun is compared to VY Canis Majoris.

VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa) is a red hypergiant in the constellation Canis Major. It is one of the largest known stars by radius and also one of the most luminous of its type.
If placed at the center of the Solar System, VY Canis Majoris's surface would extend beyond the orbit of Jupiter, although there is still considerable variation in estimates of the radius, with some making it larger than the orbit of Saturn.

That's a huge *****.

I think I may have posted this before, but I think it's interesting.

Clearly shows some of the facial arteries.
A malignant tumor is also visible under the lower incisors spreading into the mandibula bone, the mouth cancer is a result of smoking tobacco.

Nyiragongo Lava, Congo

Cradling one of the world’s largest and least studied lava lakes—more than 700 feet across and possibly miles deep—Nyiragongo has twice sent molten rock racing toward residents of Goma.

So Mordor is in Congo....Frodo was badass.
