Sea level rise has continued to accelerate over the past three decades. 🌊 A @nasa study shows sea level rise will approach the one-foot mark for most U.S. coastlines by 2050. Learn how these projections could help coastal communities prepare: bit.ly/3TGiULh #NASAJPL

I think that this #portable #famicom #chipmusic rig is ready for prime-time!

I've got some fun #NES #2A03 tunes—some using the #MIDINES—that I've never done live because I didn't have a reliable way to perform them live, but as I've been testing out the reliability of this setup, I think it's pretty doable now!

I'll need to start looking for gigs soon. 😵☠️💀.



Earth is an oasis not only in space, but in time. Every planet and star is a fleeting thing in the lifespan of the universe, but some stars live longer, billions of years longer, than others. So, what might that mean in our search for life beyond Earth? go.nasa.gov/3X79HhI #NASAExoplanets
in reply to NASA

what do we mean by habitable zone? surely any planetary body with a hot core or abundant radioactive elements that can produce enough heat to maintain a subsurface ocean , currents and mineral cycle can support life? Europa? Enceladus? Pluto?


Evan Prodromou, who helped inspire & create the #ActivityPub protocol that makes @Mastodon run, called this recent #Twittermigration a “tipping point”.

“I have not been this excited about federated social networks since we published ActivityPub. The shift has started. … We’re doing this. Don’t be on the wrong side of history.” @evan

Success! #OTD 56 years ago, Gemini XII splashed down into the Atlantic Ocean 4 days after it had been launched into space, with astronauts Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin onboard! Postflight medical examination determined both astronauts were in good shape. 🧑🚀🧑🚀 #NASAhistory
in reply to NASA

My dad was an AC on the U.S.S. Wasp for several of the Gemini recoveries, including this one. I have a memorial envelope (created by the ship's post office) with Lovell's autograph (along with envelopes for other Gemini missions, including a photograph of Neil Armstrong's crew with his autograph). This is one of the reasons I've been a proponent of NASA and space exploration since my youth. Thank you for posting this.

Europa Clipper is not only a cool spacecraft we are building but it's also a pretty cool mission. Can you guess what it will explore beneath Europa's ice shell? ⚡️ Tune into the Europa Clipper 24/7 live cam to watch as we build the spacecraft: bit.ly/clippercam #NASAJPL

I do hope the #Europa team has seen this movie 😅

Today’s spacewalk has begun. Watch astronauts Josh Cassada (suit with red stripes) and Frank Rubio (unmarked suit) prepare the @Space_Station for the arrival of new solar arrays. The spacewalk is expected to last seven hours. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1RDxl…


updated to indicate only glitch-soc is affected. There are other security updates in mastodon 4.0.x so not wasted effort to update if not running glitch-soc


This message for everyone on the fediverse:

First, please ensure you go into your account settings and enable two/multi factor authentication. No, I mean do it right now. I’ll wait till you’re done.

Ok, thank you.

Now, if you are the admin of a mastodon instance running glitch-soc, please go upgrade to 4.0.2 ASAP.

Webb's mirrors were built to withstand micrometeoroids, which are unavoidable in space. In May, a dust-sized hit was larger than tested for. After careful analysis, we've found it to be a rare statistical event. Webb’s optical performance remains twice as good as requirements. ⬇️ #JamesWebb
in reply to NASA

Aren’t they partially avoidable if you have a long telescope tube like Hubble instead of a largely unshielded primary mirror like Webb?

This is an amazing project with untold knowledge waiting to be discovered.

Did I already tell you I'm so glad NASA is on Mastodon? Just makes sense.



Hi everybody - time for our #newhere #introduction in English: the #openscience team at @unibern ist now on @mastodon as well. We'll be talking about #OpenAccess #OpenData #ScholComm scholarly #publishing #repositories and the like. We'll also feature new #OA #publications that come out on our infrastructures. We're looking forward to (more) good discussions!


For those folks who asked about Mastodon this evening at my company dinner.
