As a moderator of this community, I feel that Google+ needs some really important features to avoid spam. I've already posted them in "feedback / feature request" but Google being Google won't implement it unless a lot of people post the same request. These feature requests are:
0) Posting limit at a given time. There should be a difference of at least 5 mins between postings from the same user. Google should block users from posting for 5 mins after every post. *This will be magical*.
1) Blacklisting and whitelisting Domains. Some good urls fall into spam while bad ones in community.
2) Whitelisting users. They already give an option to ban users so it's the same as blacklisting. Some users always post relevant contents but their posts fall into spam. This hurts community.
*Please share this with other community moderators as well*. You can just copy paste these points in feature request. Make sure to post these three separately as Google takes one suggestion at a time. So, if you paste exactly this, it'll take the first point only. Adios!

✨🇲️🇦️🇬️🇮️🇨️🇦️🇱️ 🇺️🇳️🇮️🇻️🇪️🇷️🇸️🇪️ - An exoplanet in Tau Boötis
This image of the sky around the star Tau Boötis was created from the images of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The star itself, which is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, is in the center of the upper image. The peaks and circles of colors around them are created by the refraction of the telescope and the photographic plate, and they are not real. The exoplanet Tau Boötis b, orbits very close to the star and is completely invisible in this image, but you can contemplate an artistic recreation of how this planet can be, made from the available scientific data. The planet was detected directly from its own light using ESO's Very Large Telescopoe. For the first time, a new intelligent technique has allowed astronomers to study in detail the atmosphere of an exoplanet, even though it does not pass in front of its parent star. An international team captured directly the weak glow of the planet Tau Boötis b. They have studied the atmosphere of the planet and measured its orbit and mass accurately, in the process of solving a problem that arose 15 years ago. Surprisingly, the team also discovers that the atmosphere of the planet seems to be colder on the top, the opposite of what was expected. The planet Tau Boötis b, was one of the first exoplanets discovered in 1996, and remains one of the most exoplanets.....

Today on the 4th of September 1882, Thomas Edison flips the switch to the first commercial electrical power plant in history, lighting one square mile of lower Manhattan. This is considered by many as the day that began the electrical age.

Analysis of blood from patients with sickle-cell disease reveals how cell clumping begins. #MIT - One of the most common complications of sickle-cell disease occurs when deformed red blood cells clump together, blocking tiny blood vessels and causing severe pain and swelling in the affected body parts.
A new study from MIT sheds light on how these events, known as vaso-occlusive pain crises, arise. The findings also represent a step toward being able to predict when such a crisis might occur.
“These painful crises are very much unpredictable. In a sense, we understand why they happen, but we don’t have a good way to predict them yet,” says Ming Dao, a principal research scientist in MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering and one of the senior authors of the study.
The researchers found that these painful events are most likely to be produced by immature red blood cells, called reticulocytes, which are more prone to stick to blood vessel walls.
Subra Suresh, president of Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University, former dean of engineering at MIT, and the Vannevar Bush Professor Emeritus of Engineering, is also a senior author of the study, which appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of Sept. 3. The paper’s lead authors are MIT postdoc Dimitrios Papageorgiou and former postdoc Sabia Abidi. (...)

✨🇲️🇦️🇬️🇮️🇨️🇦️🇱️ 🇺️🇳️🇮️🇻️🇪️🇷️🇸️🇪️ - NGC 6193 by Pete Williamson
The astrophotographer and broadcaster Peter Williamson, shows in this image a group of ionized nebulae by the open star cluster NGC 6193, which can be seen with the naked eye in the heavens of the constellation of Ara, The Altar, and its massive stars are the responsible for making the gas of the NGC 6188 nebula glow brightly. This young cluster contains about 30 stars, is located about 3,800 light years from Earth, and contains the star of spectral type O3 closest to the Solar System, which is part of the binary HD 150136. The star cluster NGC 6193, which it is located right in the center of the image, it is the core of the star association Ara OB1, which measures a square degree. A stellar association is a large group of stars linked by a less intense gravitational loop than that of other clusters, which have not yet completely separated to remain adrift, retaining a link with their initial training place. The OB associations consist mainly of very young white-blue stars, which are approximately 100,000 times brighter than the Sun and between 10 and 50 times more massive. The Edge Nebula is the prominent wall of dark, bright clouds that marks the boundary between the region of active star formation within the molecular cloud known as.....
