Chat, we're sorry we let you down. We've covered nuclear cargo submarines, nuclear cargo ships, nuclear aircraft, nuclear rockets.. But we've neglected the most awesome segment, nuclear blimps. If the blimp could gather water, it could stay afloat for decades / until material failure.

Alt-text via GPT - "The image is a vintage cutaway illustration of a large, futuristic airship powered by nuclear energy. It features various labeled sections including passenger compartments, a command center, cargo bay, and a docking area. The top part shows schematics of the propulsion system, including a reactor and turbines. It's depicted docked at an airport with cars and small planes nearby. There are scale comparisons with other vehicles like an aircraft and a submarine. The illustration is detailed and has Russian text labels."

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) captured by Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) in 2002.

"Our Sun will sometimes, for reasons not entirely understood, eject huge amounts of matter, mostly electrons and protons, from its atmosphere, the "corona". These are known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). This one occurred on 4 January 2002. The sun's corona is studied through a special camera on NASA's solar-orbiting observatory, SOHO. The camera (called "LASCO") has an occulting disk to block out the bright sphere of the sun so that the relatively dim corona can be observed. In this image a separate photograph of the sun (taken about the same time by a different SOHO instrument) has been scaled and superposed over the occulting disk."
