Hawaii conservation groups are voicing their opposition to plans by the U.S. Space Force to conduct cargo rocket testing at Johnston Atoll, a national wildlife refuge in the Pacific.
The atoll, known as Kalama to Hawaiians, was used in earlier decades as a nuclear testing site but is now a refuge to seabirds, including one of the largest known nesting populations of Red-tailed tropicbirds, more than 300 species of fish and a shallow coral reef.

Those pricks know what βrefugeβ means, and they simply donβt give a shit.
The two different distances imply different sizes for Teleios, since objects appear smaller the farther away they are.
But what if theyβre in a mirror?
Someone on Reddit asked, βYou get one 30βsecond phone call to any moment in history β who do you call and what do you say?β
I phone Richard M. Nixon in the Oval Office at 11:40pm on July 21, 1969.
And I say, βIβm sorry, sir, Neil and Buzz canβt come to the phone right now, theyβre arguing over a parking ticket.β
Then I hang up.
Earlier studies of the system had suggested that there was also an exoplanet present in the system. But the properties of its orbit made little sense, in that nobody could seem to figure out a stable orbit that would be consistent with the observations. The only thing that was clear was that the most stable orbits appeared to require that the planet have a retrograde motion, meaning orbiting in the opposite direction to the companion star. Ξ½ Octantis definitely fell into the vast category of βmore data is neededβ questions.
Weirder than we can imagine indeed.
