Description:
On May 1, 1949, Neptune's moon Nereid was discovered by the Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper.<br/><br/>This was the second of 14 moons discovered at Neptune. It was also the last one to be discovered with certainty before NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Neptune in 1989. Astronomers suspected they had observed a third moon before, but it wasn't actually seen until the Voyager 2 mission. Kuiper spotted Nereid using an 82-inch reflector telescope at the McDonald Observatory in Texas. He decided to name it after the sea nymphs in Greek Mythology. Neptune was the Roman god of the sea, so Kuiper stuck with the nautical theme when he chose this name. Despite years of astronomical observations, Nereid's exact shape is still a bit of a mystery. Voyager 2 did get some pictures of Nereid, but they were taken from nearly 3 million miles away and were pretty pixelated. However, spectroscopic observations have shown that it has a neutral color and may have water ice on its surface.

_what-does-92.webp "Romans 8:28-30 ESV<br/>28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.<br/>29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.<br/>30And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.<br/><br/>Foreknew doesn’t mean that God knew what was going to happen or who was going to do what or even the character of each person who didn’t exist yet (even if he does, that's not what the word means in this passage). It’s talking about God’s established relationship with those whom he has determined to conform into the image of his Son. \")

The Mutiny Hotel was Casablanca on cocaine. Businessmen, politicians, international narcos, CIA and FBI agents, models, sports stars, and musicians all frequented the hotel and its glitzy nightclub and restaurant. At the center of it all was Compte, who did his best to keep it all going and fulfill his own American dream. Over the course of the season, Roman Compte (played by Danny Pino) walks the tightrope between the DEA, who have his daughter's fate in their hands, and his older brother Nestor Cabal (Yul Vazquez), Miami's biggest supplier of cocaine. Together, the pair face ruthless rival Colombian cocaine suppliers as the brothers ensure their drug domination in Miami and keep their families safe. HOTEL COCAINE is a meditation on family, brotherhood, the American Dream and the American nightmare, and what we will do to survive and protect the people we love.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>directed by Guillermo Navarro, Fernando Rovzar, Sara Seligman (various episodes)<br/><br/>starring Danny Pino, Yul Vazquez, Michael Chiklis, Mark Feuerstein, Laura Gordon, Tania Watson, Corina Bradley<br/><br/>release date June 16, 2024 (on MGM Plus)")
