What mariusafa said is correct, but I wanted to point out that objects in space do not freeze immediately. Dissipation via blackbody radiation is much slower than convection and it can take a long time for something to cool down without the latter. In other words, a vaccuum does function as a very effective insulator, which can sometimes make it more challenging to get rid of heat in space than it is to keep something warm. The ISS, for example, needs to use radiators to keep cool. The same goes for many (most? all?) satellites that are at least as close to the sun as the earth.

The cat is the only character out of the first two movies who faced off with a Xenomorph and got a chance to die of old age. Jonesy shows up in the beginning of Aliens, too, but Ripley doesn't take her on the trip back to LV-426.

SpoilerAlthough anything after the second movie didn't happen in my head canon anyway, so Ripley, Newt, Hicks and Bishop haven't died yet, either.

Man, this is one of the most adorable cat pics I've ever seen. Awesome! Has she done this more than once?

 

The library in Aachen, to be precise.

Ich war vor kurzem zum ersten Mal in der Stadtbibliothek Aachen und war – enttäuscht trifft es fast schon nicht mehr, so bizarr wirkte das ganze.

Die anderen Regale waren zwar nicht ganz so leer, aber naja…

Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mystery und Horror zusammen anderthalb Regale zu geben ist doch etwas gewagt. Ganz zu schweigen von dem Regal in der Mitte des ersten Bildes.

War die Bibliothek schon immer von so gähnender Leere geprägt?
