Truth or Consequences

Trump denied the truth, and that’s one of the consequences Leonard Pitts says the president’s recent ‘operatic self-pity’ has gone too far when 150,000 have died. “Nobody likes me.” — Donald Trump “Truth or Consequences” is the name of a town in New Mexico, and of a game show dating from the 1940s. But it’s also one of the primal laws of existence. Where an important truth is denied, consequences follow. So none of us can be surprised at the state of the Union after seven months of Donald Trump’s lies, alibis and magical thinking in the face of one of the worst public health crises in history. More than 150,000 of us are dead, the U.S. economy just endured its worst quarter on record and there is no sign the disaster is going to abate anytime soon. To the contrary, the federal government is adding to the list of “red zone” states — i.e., states where the COVID-19 infection rate continues to climb.

China’s Mars Mission Took This Picture of the Earth and Moon

Image
No matter where you are, where you’ve been and where you’re going, it’s always good to see home.  And we all love seeing pictures of our home planet, as seen from space. The latest image of the Terran System comes from China’s Mars mission,  Tianwen-1,  which launched on July 23. It captured an image of the Earth and Moon, seen from about 1.2 million km from Earth, according to the  China National Space Administration (CNSA). It joins a great group of photos taken of our “pale blue dot” from missions like Voyager, Cassini, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and of course, the Apollo missions to the Moon.  You can see a gallery of Earth-Moon images as seen from other words here. https://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/earthglobalsurveyor.jpg https://www.universetoday.com/147278/chinas-mars-mission-took-this-picture-of-the-earth-and-moon/
