When this couple adopted a senior golden retriever, they were determined to make the last years of the dog’s life his best ones yet. However, what they didn’t know was that this pooch’s gentle presence would enrich their lives, too! In an emotional video on social media, pet mom Jackie Pajan shared just how much her time with Noah meant to her and her partner. These truly were “golden” years for both the elderly canine and his new family! After spending most of his life working for a breeder, this senior golden retriever was more than ready to settle down. Jackie described him in her post as “the most peaceful, calm, and timid boy.” All he really wanted was love and affection, which his new owners were more than happy to give him! Noah’s sweet and mellow personality made him the perfect match for the couple’s other senior dog, Ruby, who had dementia. @jackiepajan As time moves forward, I realize more and more the difference Noah made in our lives when both Jason and I were experiencing huge losses. I pray he knows how loved he was and always will be #seniorgoldenretriever #goldenretriever #goldenretieverlife #adoptaseniordog #seniorrescuedog #goldenretrieversoftiktok ♬ Backsound Puisi – Audiolist Productions Jackie shared some of the most precious footage of her senior golden retriever’s new life as a retired pooch. It looks like he enjoyed plenty of treats and cuddles while living with his adopted family. He especially loved it when Mom brushed his fur! Apparently, this dog wasn’t used to having his own toys to play with. So, he was really excited when he got tennis balls and plushies to chew on! In fact, Noah loved these items so much that he’d bring one with him wherever he went. His owners caught the most hilarious footage of the senior canine eating dinner with a tennis ball in his bowl! This senior golden retriever lived out his last days in the best possible place. Sadly, Noah didn’t get to live with his new family for very long. According to Jackie, he passed away after a year and a half. Although his owners were devastated to lose the pooch that had touched their hearts so profoundly, they knew their time together was truly special. Screengrab from TikTok “We only got a year and a half with Noah before he crossed over, but his peaceful heart and gentle soul got us through the hardest year and a half of our lives and we are so grateful for him,” his mom wrote at the end of her video. “We love you, sweet boy, and we hope you always knew that.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Clinton's love for McDonald's is well-known

Tomorrow is more than just a day away—it’s a recurring theme in rock music, where it often represents the uncertainty of the future, the hope for something better, or the weight of what’s yet to come. Across decades and genres, “tomorrow” has inspired some of the most introspective and powerful songs in rock. In “Tomorrow Tomorrow,” the Bee Gees capture a moment of longing and regret, while Sheryl Crow’s “Tomorrow Never Dies” delivers a sleek, dangerous edge worthy of its Bond film legacy. Billy Joel’s “Tomorrow Is Today” reflects the darker side of tomorrow, exploring personal despair and the feeling The post 10 Best Songs With The Word ‘Tomorrow’ In The Title appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Starting in 2025, the Rubin Observatory in Chile will survey the southern sky every 4 days with a 3.2 gigapixel camera. Statistically, it is expected to discover an interstellar object, like `Oumuamua, every few months. The fundamental question that my research team will address is whether technological objects lurk among the vast population of interstellar rocks that cross the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. One way to separate artificial objects from natural rocks is through their anomalous propulsion with no gaseous trail, similar to `Oumuamua’s non-gravitational acceleration. While passing near Earth in 2017, `Oumuamua showed no evidence for cometary gas or dust coming off its surface that would provide a natural push through the rocket effect. The decline in `Oumuamua’s non-gravitational acceleration with distance from the Sun was not measured accurately enough by the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories. The scaling was consistent with the excess push being inversely proportional to distance squared relative to the Sun, as expected from radiation pressure acting on a thin membrane. Another anomalous object detected by the same Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii three years later, 2020 SO, displayed a similar push by reflecting sunlight and was identified as a rocket booster with thin walls, launched by NASA in 1966. By now, `Oumuamua is a hundred million times fainter than it was at closest approach to Earth and cannot be observed by our telescopes. It is impractical to chase blindly `Oumuamua with a spacecraft given the uncertainties in its trajectory. Alternatively, it would be prudent to use the Rubin Observatory in hunting additional objects from its family, `Oumuamua’s-cousins. As it was tumbling every 8 hours, `Oumuamua’s brightness varied by a factor of 10, suggesting a disk-like shape at the 91% confidence level. Given the multiple anomalies of `Oumuamua, there is great interest in learning more about another object from its family. If the Rubin Observatory were to discover a cousin of `Oumuamua near Earth, what could we learn about it now? An artist’s impression of ‘Oumuamua, which means ‘messenger’ in Hawaiian. A key advantage relative to 2017, is the opportunity to use the Webb telescope. It was my privilege to serve on the first Science Advisory committee that designed this telescope thirty years ago, as I look forward to harvesting its fruits in the coming years. The exquisite infrared sensitivity would allow the Webb telescope to detect the heat emitted by `Oumuamua’s-cousin and hence infer its surface temperature and surface area given its distance. The area can be used to determine the reflectance of sunlight by the surface, and potentially the surface composition. As `Oumuamua’s cousin tumbles, these properties could be mapped across its various sides. But most importantly, the Webb telescope would track the trajectory of `Oumuamua’s-cousin with unprecedented precision. Let me explain. There is a good reason for why natural selection equipped us with two eyes rather than one in the context of survival of the fittest. Imaging data from two separated eyes can be used to assess the distance of an approaching predator by observing it from slightly different directions. In 2017, the precision of measuring the distance of `Oumuamua’s was limited by the separation of the Hubble Space Telescope from ground-based telescopes. Currently, the Webb telescope is separated from Earth by a million miles, about 3,000 times farther than Hubble’s altitude, allowing us to localize interstellar objects much better. Moreover, Webb’s aperture is about 2.7 times larger than Hubble’s mirror size, enabling detection of fainter objects at larger distances. In collaboration with my Harvard College student, Sriram Elango, I proposed to use forthcoming imaging data from the Webb telescope in localizing the three-dimensional trajectory of interstellar objects that will be discovered in the coming years by the Rubin Observatory. We demonstrated that with very modest observing time, it would be possible to determine to exquisite precision the radial dependence of the non-gravitational acceleration of `Oumuamua’s-cousin. This will allow us to easily distinguish the rocket effect of cometary evaporation from other sources of non-gravitational acceleration, including artificial propulsion of a functional technological artifact. An anomalous interstellar artifact, signaling the existence of superhuman intelligence, would offer a new context to the concept “Übermensch“, proposed by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Why is the search for interstellar artifacts worthwhile? Because knowing that we have cosmic neighbors might inspire us to venture into interstellar space. This inspiration was highlighted in an email I received this morning, which read: “Good morning, Avi. I have been reading your book “Interstellar”. The book is now full of highlighted passages. I find myself putting down the book and reflecting on multiple paragraphs. Sometimes it hits me so hard I just have to sit down and say nothing at all to anyone for a while. I want you to know that this book is having a profound impact on me… I am always saying, “beam me up Scotty, there’s no intelligent life here!” or “why have I been dropped on this horrible rock that makes absolutely no sense? Please take me home!” I think I say both of those things to myself because I really don’t feel that I and many others belong here, and that our real home lies elsewhere. However, when I read the paragraph at the bottom of page 133, I found that for the first time in 57 years, the prospect of having to move to another planet was made real by what you have said there, and I am struggling with the feelings that I have about the prospect of how serious that reality is. It may come a lot sooner than we expected. I’m having trouble putting this into words, but I just wanted you to know that what you are saying is having a profound effect on me and I’m sure thousands, and hopefully millions of people. I think that is a big part of your intention with the book, isn’t it? For people to stop and think about the challenges facing our Interstellar future.” Adding hope, this morning Starship’s rocket booster was successfully caught by SpaceX’s tower.
