NASA probe finds a snowman-shaped relic of the early Solar System
"This may be the most primitive object seen by any spacecraft."
After the New Horizons mission zoomed by the then-unknown Ultima Thule object in the outer Solar System early on New Year's Day, the spacecraft began returning data to Earth via a deep-space network. Although only about 1 percent of that data is now on the ground, scientists were able to share some top-line findings on Wednesday.

I saw that. Watched a doctor (on youtube) talking about it and they think it may just have been dry humping. Although the way they're acting they may have been extremely high.

Maybe they are devout Christians.

That doesn't necessarily make them sober. Unless they are so devout that they had to dry hump on live TV.

Yes, my line was a clever joke.

And that's how they all got the herpes!

Actually 90% of humans have herpes (according to Adam Ruins Everything), so it is pretty virulent anyway.

They have some form of herpes. Turns out most herpes don't actually present with any symptoms... so you most likely wouldn't know if you had a strain of it or not.

"Early last year, Johnson and colleagues published a study estimating that about 25 percent of Florida’s population of free-wheeling monkeys carries the deadly virus, known as macacine herpesvirus 1 (McHV-1), herpes B, or monkey B virus"
You've heard of "Monkey See, Monkey Do", well this is Monkey B, Monkey Poo

Correct, one of the two strains of human herpes. And nearly no one gets any known symptoms (meaning symptoms that they know about.)

China makes history by landing on the far side of the Moon
Soon—if not already—the lander will deploy a rover named Yutu II.
According to state media, a Beijing-based control center commanded the spacecraft to begin the landing procedure at 9:15pm ET Monday (10:15am, Tuesday, local time), from an altitude of 15km above the lunar surface. During an 11-minute descent, Chang'e-4 slowed its speed from 1.7 km/s to nearly zero before it landed in the Von Karman Crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin. This is in the mid-southern latitudes of the Moon on its far side; it should offer important scientific information about Earth and the early Solar System.

Machine learning can offer new tools, fresh insights for the humanities
From the French Revolution to the history of the novel, Big Data makes its mark
Specifically, rhetorical innovations by key influential figures (like Robespierre) played a critical role in persuading others to accept what were, at the time, audacious principles of governance, according to co-author Simon DeDeo, a former physicist who now applies mathematical techniques to the study of historical and current cultural phenomena. And the cutting-edge machine learning methods he developed to reach that conclusion are now being employed by other scholars of history and literature.
