I have an unwanted guest (of sorts) with me at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
Kudos to the New York Public Library (#NYPL) for mining this vein of gold beneath our feet.

"NYPL has been reviewing the US #Copyright Office’s official…records for [books] whose copyrights haven’t been renewed…The books in question were published between 1923 & 1964, before changes to US copyright law removed the requirement for rights holders to renew their copyrights…Around 65 -75% of rights holders opted not to renew their copyrights."

A most spectacular scene by @VitkusJustinas: the 300 gigaton impact of Shoemaker-Levi 9 in Jupiter's atmosphere.
