Time to shine. 💫

Don’t miss the annual Geminids meteor shower, peaking between Dec. 13-14. A waning gibbous moon will make it harder to view most of the shower, but the Geminids burn so bright, up to 30-40 should be visible per hour! go.nasa.gov/3FLOAuW

Gene: Nice view, huh?
Jack: The horizon’s ok. Not very colorful, though.
Gene: D’you wanna listen to some tunes?
Jack: Sure. Whatcha got?
Gene: uh, let’s see, Bowie-Major Tom, Floyd-Eclipse, and Elton-Rocket Man.
Jack: hmmm. No CCR-Bad Moon Rising?
Gene: Oh shit, I missed a turn.
Jack: Haha. Good thing your wife isn’t here to get on you about that, right?
Gene: Amen, brother. It’s nice to get out with just the dudes.
Jack: Righteous. Go with CCR, bro.
Gene: Righteous.

Here's the Department of Energy's press release on the nuclear fusion breakthrough, an experiment that "surpassed the fusion threshold by delivering 2.05 megajoules (MJ) of energy to the target, resulting in 3.15 MJ of fusion energy output". energy.gov/articles/doe-nation…
in reply to kottke.org

@rooster - so did they account for the laser inefficiencies? I skimmed through the article, but it seems quite light on the how.
in reply to kottke.org

Take a peak at this article from Ars Technica
“Before we get to visions of fusion power plants dotting the landscape, however, there's the uncomfortable fact that producing the 2 megajoules of laser power that started the fusion reaction took about 300 megajoules of grid power, so the overall process is nowhere near the break-even point.”

#OTD in 1993, the first servicing mission by astronauts to Hubble came to a close!

This mission fixed Hubble's optics, following the discovery of an error in its primary mirror, which was ground too flat by less than the width of a single human hair!
#Hubble



New scientific instruments were also installed during this mission, which was followed by four more servicing missions using the space shuttle.

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:

➡️ chirp.social

You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers

It is similar to the existing a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.

It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.
