Night Sky on Mars as seen from NASA Curiosity Rover.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video does not show authentic imagery from NASA's Curiosity rover. Rover Mastcam images capture planets as isolated points of light in twilight skies, unlike the dense starfield with diffraction spikes and nebulae shown.

If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

hi @ScotRail, at the moment none of my tickets will show on the app. I bought a single and the flexi pass was missing and not validating and was in a rush.
It’s not showing either and is only valid today. How I do get this refunded?
Hi @ScotRail, for the 2nd night in a row I've been put off a train at Dalmuir as the train has then run as an express to Helensburgh (and not an express to Dumbarton central as would normally do in a situation like this). Just wondering why that is the case?? – at Clydebank, Scotland

We're saddened to hear of the sudden & unexpected loss of Sam Neill. Sam had talked about his experience of lymphoma - helping to raise the profile of this cancer & awareness with the public. Today we're thinking of his family, friends & colleagues 💜 bbc.co.uk/news/live/crl1gk55…
What a film, and an emotional rollercoaster #RemarkablyBrightCreatures is. I LOVED it! ❤️❤️
