And to think, 50 years ago scientists had no idea there were ducks on Jupiter.

Better yet, 24 billion pound ducks that are each about 4,000 feet long. And no, I didn't do the math for the size of the corkscrew genitalia.

Looks real to me, but I wasn't there when the ducks were named

Legit. You can trust me because I checked it personally 🤪

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No it’s real Jupiter means duck in my language

[–] notreallyhere@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

oh that makes a lot of sense

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

Woah, what will they think of next?

(Off the top of my head, I would surmise Saturn.)

Recognize that anywhere. From Pink Floyd's P.U.L.S.E. live show.
