No Context For You – January 17th

This might be what the surface of Pluto looks like just seconds before impact, a la the old Ranger spacecraft we sent to the moon before Apollo and before Surveyor.

Or that giant nickle-iron asteroid that’s out there coming in at 0.99c to vaporize the planet as divine retribution for our political folly.

Or what it would be like to be trapped inside of a JiffyPop pan as it grows with exploding corn kernels all around you.

Or the inside of Smaug’s cave, just before he sees you and fricassees you for an appetizer.

I note that none of those images are particularly non-violent. Not sure if that’s good or bad.
