TESS, this sweet little spacecraft, has exoplanet in its very name -- Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. So far, it's discovered more than 270 planets and more than 6,000 planet candidates. We love TESS💜

and thanks to TESS, I got to observe a transit of an exoplanet from my backyard with a little #Unistellar #eVscope - absolutely thrilling. So much I made a gif of the event and made it my animated profile image!

5,211!
That's how many planets beyond our solar system that we've confirmed so far.
Some are so blasted by their stars that surfaces are covered in lava; others may have jewels floating in winds. Each one is wonder!

Mastadon is a great alternative and yet a friend of mine (Who claims he loves Linux and wants to see it get better but won't do ANYTHING to help) says that independant social media is flawed. So does the majority of people. Sad since he is a CS Student.

My collection is growing! 🪨 I’ve now got my 15th rock core: a nice piece of sandstone.

Up next, I’m heading back to a nearby dune to break out a new tool – my regolith collection bit – for gathering loose, sandy material. #SamplingMars continues…

Mars is near its closest point to Earth in its orbit. It's a good time to watch for the planet rising as a bright, reddish "star" in the east after sunset. See the latest in Mars exploration at mars.nasa.gov

A pair of views of a pair of (merging) galaxies? Yes, please!

Hubble and @NASAWebb have both observed the galactic pair II ZW 96 in different wavelengths of light.

You can learn more about these views here: go.nasa.gov/3GZrPo8
#Hubble



In Hubble’s visible-light view from 2008, the starburst systems that have formed between the two galactic cores with their older stars are clearly seen.

However, Webb’s view showcases the brightness of the star-forming regions which have been activated by this merger, which are particularly luminous in infrared light, which Webb observes.

I once accidently brought fireworks (explosives) on a trip. They were tucked in a side pocket and I didn't notice them until I was unpacking at my destination.

You know what makes me feel safe flying? A half-sober pilot. All the rest of this BS is government sponsored class warfare.

Had a broken #Spectrum #Microdrive, but I was able to repurpose it for my #chipmusic setup!

Anyone using a lot of USB-powered #audio equipment knows how annoying ground loops can be. With this I've got 5x stereo isolators in a relatively small box.

@Brett_E_Carlock

If you want to get super fancy you can use an op-amp to create a 'virtual ground'. Instead of using the 5V and USB ground, you'd use the virtual ground as the ground for your circuit.

Before he was an astronaut, Neil Armstrong was a @nasa test pilot, testing research planes including the X-15. Milt Thompson called him "the most technically capable of the early X-15 pilots." On the last of his 7 X-15 flights in July 1962 he reached Mach 5.74.

in reply to NASA

As a kid, the X-15 was the most exciting thing. I had pictures of it and paid close attention to all the action. Then the Mercury launches. Oh Boy! You guys really gave us a lot to be proud of while I was growing up!
in reply to NASA

It was once said about Armstrong that if you put an engine on a garbage can lid, he could fly it. He got his pilot's license before his driver's license. It's no surprise he flew the X-15 with ease.


Uh… what happened to mastodon.social/@Meyerweb/1094…? I can’t see it, either in threads or by going there directly.

I suspect they have better and much more pressing things to do right now than look into a single-toot loss, but I appreciate the thought.

Under the sea (ice) 🌊 🧊

True - but has their servers any hope of being resized in posting to millions instead of thousands of followers? And where do the millions of instantlyTwitter dispossessed Twitterati sign up?

The James Webb Space Telescope has been named a Popular Science #BOWN22 winner in Aerospace! Congrats to the full team. More: go.nasa.gov/3ugHQ1D

"Receiving this award is a tribute to all who contributed to its success." -Julie Van Campen, Webb systems engineer
#JamesWebb



The team used data from Argo floats, underwater instruments that drift and bob with ocean currents.

These devices measure chlorophyll-a and particulate carbon in the water – both factors that indicate phytoplankton are present.
#NASAEarth



Ice height data from @nasa’s ICESat-2 satellite and ice-cover models allowed the team to map where and how much light was penetrating through thin spots and openings in Antarctic sea ice, and how the ice moved over time.
