Cleaning out the Inbox

   It's time for another inbox cleaning and we start with two space-oriented notes from the web.

Accuweather discusses a recent study that believes that Jupiter may have gathered its size from eating other planets during the beginning of its formation.

Jupiter's core was examined by the JUNO spacecraft and discovered to have solid material that is thought to have gathered from "eating" other planets at the time of formation.

As the planet grew, it became large enough to siphon gases such as hydrogen and helium to form its atmosphere, and scientists believe with this discovery that they may to reexamine that the remaining three gas giants (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) may have developed in a similar manner.

CNN reports of a double-crater rocket impact on the moon but it's unknown what the rocket was that made the impact.

NASA believes it's a piece of space junk that likely had been flying around for years, so it's uncertain the exact rocket will be identified but it is known that this seems to be the first time that a moon crater has been created from an unintentional landing into the moon.

There have been several intentional crashes from spacecraft into the moon from Apollo missions and others but this is the first time that this has happened unintentionally that NASA is aware of.

The lovely Cherie sends me word from the Akron Beacon Journal of the anniversary celebration of the final remaining restaurant of the Arthur Treacher's seafood chain.

Treacher's started in Columbus, Ohio in 1969 and at its peak had 826 locations but now there remains only one in operation- in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

The Cuyahoga Falls location is celebrating its fifty-year anniversary and became the final Treacher's after the same owner closed the Garfield Heights, Ohio location last June due to staff shortages.

Seafood eateries are having trouble in recent years with another TRS favorite Long John Silvers closing many locations around the country, including the Hagerstown location inside the Valley Mall, which while I cannot write this with certainty, I believe had been open since the Mall started business in 1974.

Mental Floss scores with this article on legendary Democratic prankster "Dick Tuck", who made his goal in life to mess with Richard Nixon!

The article writes of several pranks including in the 1968 election with Tuck hiring pregnant women to attend Nixon rallies and wear t-shorts inscribed "Nixon's the One", which was Nixon's campaign slogan in his successful campaign!

And we wrap with SI.com writing a story that starts sad but ends with a happy ending as the article follows the lost children of the late wrestler Rocky Johnson, all of them across Canada when Johnson (a Canadian native) was wrestling there well before his American fame.

The happy ending arrives with the various half-siblings getting to know each other and their uncle (and former Rocky tag team partner, Ricky) as they begin to form a family that never existed before.

This of course makes each of them half-siblings to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
