Here's Amazon's two new planned fossil-fuelled AI data centres next to the ENTIRE POWER GRIDS OF SEVERAL LARGE COUNTRIES Together, the two gas-burning data centres will emit more than Spain's entire grid, if built

Bar chart comparing 2025 national grid CO2e emissions (grey bars) with two Amazon fossil‑fuelled AI data centres (red bars), showing the Amazon sites at about 33 and 17.5 megatonnes CO2e—higher than many countries' entire power grids.

I laughed when I read this but then thought, "Wait, why DOESN'T the moon block the sun's gravity somewhat? How does gravity work s.t. it can propagate through solid objects?" medium.com/@physics87/h... I found this post that approaches the same question but found myself a bit dissatisfied still.

How does gravity pass through objects?

Researchers have noted a hypothetical change in the speed of a gravitational wave when passing through dense matter. But will gravity be…

Important info from NASA today.

Threads post from NASA. Text reads: We WILL NOT lose gravity today! If you've seen that claim, there's no need to fear. Earth's gravitational pull is determined by its own mass, not the Moon. Eclipses don't have any effect on gravity here on Earth, or on the Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon is orbiting exactly the same as any other day, it just happens to reach the point in its slightly tilted orbit when it crosses between Earth and the Sun. CPSC replies: Oh, good. One less thing you know.
