Huge mystery blob found under the moon's far side

Researchers have discovered something massive lurking underneath the far side of the moon: a mysterious blob with the mass akin to a pile of metal five times the size of the Big Island of Hawaii.

The structure, described in a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters, sits at least 180 miles beneath the South Pole-Aitken basina colossal crater punched into the lunar landscape billions of years ago, when the moon's initially molten surface had cooled just enough for impacts to leave a lasting mark.

The blob is likely related to the crater's formation, and it may be the remnants of an ancient impactor's metal core, says study coauthor Peter James of Baylor University.

Aliens left a gift for us to celebrate discovering spaceflight!

Speaking of mystery blobs; I assume everyone in here is aware of the fact that every computer after 2006 for Intel and 2013 for AMD contains proprietary binary blobs which are basically "features" in which your favorite triple letter friends steal all of your coins on your sleep. Just a reminder.

Which setup are you running again?

In other vacuous perverts news, the British Government.

The government would welcome views on whether the publication of open-source software should be subject to CDD [Customer Due Diligence] requirements. If so, under which circumstances should these activities be subject to these requirements? If so, in what circumstances should the legislation deem software users be deemed a customer, or to be entering into a business relationship, with the publisher?

Your going to have to explain this one?

They want you to run open source software which has been approved by "them". Imagine.
