."The current price for HIV treatment is $42,250(!) per patient per year(!) "

They say the #fermiparadox solutions list is getting longer by the day.

i got my own list..

#reasonswhyih8capitalism

If I would write it down on paper the list would reach the #oortcloud..

.."Lenacapavir, an HIV-1 capsid inhibitor by Gilead Sciences, is poised to transform HIV prevention in 2025. This twice-yearly injectable drug has shown remarkable efficacy.."

Where does the #solarsystem end? The #OortCloud.

Mucho se habla por estos días de las hazañas de las #Voyager I y II las cuales salieron ya de la #heliopausa y están cruzando la #oortcloud (Nube de Oort) de la cual, saldrán dentro de 2.000 años, quizá cuando la humanidad ya no sea la misma ó esté extinta.
Es una hazaña dramática y la gente de este mundo no es consciente de lo que pasa "allá" fuera. Me da terror...a ti no?.

The vastness of Space, the Oort cloud and Voyager

“Voyager 1, the fastest and farthest of the interplanetary space probes currently leaving the Solar System, will reach the Oort cloud in about 300 years and would take about 30,000 years to pass through it.”

I wonder if our Oort cloud is connected at its extreme edge with Proxima Centauri’s Oort cloud. Far away comets from different neighborhoods just out there chillin’.

A 'captured' alien planet may be hiding at the edge of our solar system — and it's not 'Planet X'
The cold and mysterious Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system may be hiding a rogue exoplanet, new research suggests.

#NASA’s #Webb #Telescope Finds Water, and a New Mystery
#JWST's near-infrared camera detected first known instance of #water vapor around a #comet in main #asteroid belt, also known as a main belt comet. Scientists had thought comets could preserve water ice so relatively close to the Sun, but didn't have firm evidence until now. They generally expected comets to sit in the #KuiperBelt or #OortCloud, both of which are far enough away from the Sun that ice could last.

When the title of a paper - "Direct measurement of decimetre-sized rocky material in the Oort cloud" - is obviously too obvious ... and the journal that published it puts it on the cover and gets the astronomy dead wrong: https://twitter.com/meteordoc/status/1639297365474529281. Anyway, the paper as such is quite interesting and you can read it open access at https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.06812 #meteors #OortCloud #SolarSystem

The Supermassive #BlackHole pair designated PKS 2131-021 #orbit each other closer than it was previously believed possible. Each SMBH is several 100million #solar masses, but are only 200-2000AU (0.003- 0.03 light-years) apart. For scale, they are closer to each other than the #OortCloud (part of our own #solarsystem) is to the #sun. Despite their incomprehensible size, a single orbit only takes 2 years.
