In 1972, #Apollo17 Mission Commander Eugene Cernan had 2 space flights under his belt, Gemini 9 in June 1966 and Apollo 10 in May 1969. Cernan was also a backup crew member of the Gemini 12, Apollo 7, and Apollo 14 missions.

#Apollo17 Command Module Pilot Ronald E. Evans was selected as a member of the 4th group of NASA astronauts in 1966. He was an electrical and aeronautical engineer, and @USNavy aviator before his assignment to the Apollo 17 crew.

Lunar Module Pilot Dr. Harrison (Jack) Schmitt joined NASA as a member of the first group of scientist-astronauts in 1965. Before NASA, Schmitt worked as a geologist at the @USGS Astrogeology Center. He was on the backup crew for Apollo 15 before being selected for #Apollo17.

@sb Ha, that's a very technical subject. Perhaps we'll get there but for now we focus on... easier subjects! Keep an eye on our social media channels & sub to our newsletter, we'll probably do a webinar about it at some point.


#OTD in 1998, our Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) launched into space to hunt for water and other molecules linked to life as we know it. For nearly seven years, SWAS helped us study water in the Milky Way, star formation, comets, and more: cfa.harvard.edu/facilities-tec…

You who, boo, we see you🤩
A tiny, nearby galaxy peeks from behind a bright foreground star. The Peekaboo Galaxy is much like galaxies found in the distant, early universe, without many of the heavier elements forged in stars over cosmic history. go.nasa.gov/3UCCt7N

Wonderful. Best wishes to you all from this tiny corner in the Cotswolds/UK. 😊


The latest of our #StarrySights is tucked away in the top right corner of this new Hubble image!

KMHK 1231 is an open star cluster surrounded by plumes of crimson gas and dust where new stars may someday form.

The oldest observable light in the universe is in the same wavelength range that cooks your food — microwaves! The cosmic microwave background was emitted about 13.8 billion years ago, when the universe was just 380,000 years old. tmblr.co/Zz_Uqj2bmSLWy #MicrowaveOvenDay

#OTD in 2014, the New Horizons spacecraft awoke from its "nap" in anticipation of reaching Pluto after almost 3 billion miles and 9 years. 7 months later, it captured these photos of Pluto (left) and Charon (right).

The world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, is still erupting.

The @nasa/@USGS Landsat 9 satellite captured this image on Dec. 2. Infrared data from #Landsat’s OLI-2, which detects heat, is overlaid in red, indicating the presence of lava.

It appears there is a double hook shaped heat signature several hundred feet closer to the DKI Highway than the main flow. Has a lava tube formed?


Dwarf Fortress arrives on Steam, works on Linux desktop and Steam Deck gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/dwar…
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I was actually curious if it would work on Linux out of the box. I am no fan of ASCII graphics (I simply can’t remember what anything is:( ) and I’ve wanted to ruin my life further by trying Dwarf Fortress.

(But I don’t want to ruin my life by installing windows)

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

wow. I've bounced off this game a few times, having struggled with the text ui (even tried some 3rd party uis) but now there's an official UI it might be time for me to take another look!

Recognize the Pillars of Creation? Webb’s near-infrared and mid-infrared images of this super star-forming region were fused to highlight new details: bit.ly/3P5uzT3
#JamesWebb

in reply to NASA

The fact that mankind has the capability and fortitude to capture this image…gives me hope.


Webb’s near-infrared camera (NIRCam) contributes thousands of baby stars, while its mid-infrared instrument’s (MIRI) contributions are clearest in the layers of diffuse, orange dust draping the top of the image.

Peekaboo! 🫣

Hubble helped find a galaxy peeking out from behind the glare of a bright, foreground star. Nicknamed the Peekaboo Galaxy, it's an extraordinary example of a relatively nearby galaxy that shares traits with our universe's earliest galaxies: go.nasa.gov/3F9XIIa
#Hubble



This inset image highlights the Peekaboo Galaxy, formally known as HIPASS J1131–31.

This galaxy may be the nearest example of the galaxy formation processes that commonly took place not long after the big bang, 13.8 billion years ago.

Over the next 2 weeks, we'll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of #Apollo17: the last time humans set foot on the Moon. Follow along as we revisit breathtaking photos 📸, drive a lunar rover 🚗, explore Moon rocks, and more! go.nasa.gov/3VU00BZ

Hello NASA! This sounds great.

Could you please add image descriptions when you attach photographs to posts on Mastodon? You have a photograph in this post, but visually impaired Mastodonians who use screen readers have no idea what it is. Worse, when there's no image description the screen reader will read out the file name: 77490243d61ed470. Can you imagine how annoying that is? When describing images, imagine you're explaining what's in the photograph to a dear friend on the phone.



50 years ago today, @nasa’s #Apollo17 countdown clock started in preparation for the launch of the last crewed mission to the Moon. Let’s kick off our final #Apollo50th celebration with a #TriviaTuesday poll! ⬇️

I'm convinced that the Saturn rockets should have kept flying long after the Apollo program ended. They were absolutely amazing and we're only now regaining the capability they had.

Death Stranding Director's Cut has an annoying bug that can reboot your Steam Deck gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/deat…

it is not the only one, I had a similar bug with Assassin's Creed II yesterday. In the middle of my play, the steam deck rebooted with no reason...

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Minetest is one of those things that I always feel like deserves more attention, it's not Minecraft, but it is so much more flexible and with how moddable it is has a lot more potential imo

(I say this as an ex Minecraft addict)



Google now actually processing refunds of Google Store orders of Stadia Hardware.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I never bought into the stadia stuff but I got a stadia controller for free with my YouTube premium, now use it to play games on Linux. Not a half bad controller imo.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I got a refund for my free game a couple of weeks ago (got a $40 coupon somehow, I don’t remember anymore)
Was quite funny to see a $0.00 refund email, I guess there where no minimum limits put on the script doing the refunds 😅
