20 posts held, back to 8 August 2021 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 25 August 2021. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
The picture below covers a distance of 50 light-years. Each of those dots in the picture above is a star, like our Sun. The distance across our Sun is 864,000 miles, which is 109 times wider than Earth. Think of all that...space. @spacepictureloversspecial

There might be another planet on the rim of our solar system. Some astronomers have found evidence of a ninth planet far beyond Neptune (I'm sorry to those of you who are still sore about the whole "Pluto isn't a planet" thing). Although it has yet to be observed, the astronomers have noticed strange orbital patterns of smaller objects in the Kuiper Belt. @spacepictureloversspecial

have you considered the possibility that we've already sent a message to an alien race in the distant past and it's still making its way to them? Space is huge, we've established that by now, and there's every chance we've already sent a message into space thousands of years ago and forgotten about it (think about how societies change over time). We could either still be waiting for that message to arrive, OR waiti…

According to quantum mechanics, there's a small chance the entire universe could spontaneously disappear and never come back. This idea is based on a complicated theory known as vacuum decay – basically a self-destruct button for the universe! It's only speculative at this point, but it comes down to whether the universe is in a true or a false vacuum – a true vacuum is stable, but a false vaccum isn't. If a random …

Dark Matter is believed to be responsible for 85% of gravity in the universe, and no one knows what it is or how it works. According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Dark Matter is the longest-standing unsolved mystery in modern astrophysics. Indeed, it might not even be matter! Basically, the amount of gravity in the universe doesn't quite equal the amount of observable mass – the planets, the stars, the galaxies, the come…

There are rogue planets that have been knocked out of orbit just chilling out in the universe, and they could do the same to another planet. These rogue planets do not orbit a star, and so it's pretty hard to glimpse them – in fact we don't actually know if there are any nearby at all. Statistically speaking, however, they are not close enough to be a concern and really we're a pretty small target given the size of …

It's possible for two pieces of the same metal to actually fuse together if they touch in outer space. This is known as "cold welding", and it occurs because the atoms of both individual bits do not know that they belong to different pieces of metal, so they join together. This doesn't happen on Earth because there is always air or water separating the pieces. @spacepictureloversspecial

Venus looked pretty much exactly like Earth does now around two billion years ago. Venus today is a living hell. It has a suffocating carbon dioxide atmosphere and there is almost no water vapour; temperatures there reach 462 degrees celsius! But climate modelling has suggested that ancient Venus may have had oceans and a dry land pattern just like ours. Various factors – including the water to land ratio, and the i…

The Voyager 1 spacecraft will likely outlive planet Earth itself. The probe was launched back in 1977 in order to study Jupiter and Saturn and is now on its second mission out of the solar system. It will now drift through interstellar space forever. The Earth will probably be vaporised by the sun in a few billion years, meanwhile Voyager 1 will probably still be moving through space. @spacepictureloversspecial

It's also true that, on average, a bit of debris crashes back to Earth about once a week. It's mostly larger satellites that have survived the fiery reentry process and, truth be told, they more often than not land in the ocean (ugh) or in some remote area. There is a whole team of researchers dedicated to tracking space debris and monitoring its risk of colliding with Earth – as far as we know, no one has died by b…

There's a rogue supermassive black hole speeding through space at around five million miles per hour. Usually, every galaxy contains a black hole, but this one has been kicked out of its home galaxy, 3C 186. This is probably the result of two galaxies colliding, which may have united both black holes. Astronomers predict that in 20 million years, it will break out of its galaxy and roam the universe forever. @spac…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @spacepictureloversspecial. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 1,244,092 of 1,549,376entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 5 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
@spacepictureloversspecial named 7 handles that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 13 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
