There’s more on losing the stars today from @sciencemagazine & the news isn’t encouraging:

“Light pollution is drowning the starry night sky faster than thought” https://www.science.org/content/article/light-pollution-drowning-starry-night-sky-faster-thought #space #svience #nature /2


🚀 #Nasa has greatly expanded its #software package, which is #free for users to download and use. Over 800 programs are now available for free.

In 1952, Katherine Johnson heard there were open positions at the all-Black West Area Computing section at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics’ (later NASA) Langley laboratory.

With far too many accomplishments to list, her work was fundamental to marking a turning point in the space race with the Soviet Union. https://www.nasa.gov/content/katherine-johnson-biography

In 2015, President Obama awarded Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She passed away in 2020 at 101. #history #space #HistoryRemix


Over 80% of the world’s population & 99% of Americans & Europeans live under "sky glow," where light pollution affects wildlife, human health & our ability to observe celestial objects.

As we lose the chance to look up & peer back in time at once vivid stars, we risk forgetting our place as a single species in the magnificent symphony of life. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/light-pollution #space #science #nature #SharedPlanet

Love the info behind this image but I don't think I'll be using this as my next #NASA #space wallpaper 😉


We're working on lots of new stuff in Orion's End, ready for an exciting new trailer reveal in January. There will be new planets, new minigames, new characters. We're pretty excited.

OK. I'm totally showing my inner space geek here. This is cool.

I love the photos from @APoD: I especially enjoy images of nebulas and star systems far away #space #nasa #photos


So amazing & I love the introduction and testing of 3-D tactile #Hubble photos. #inclusion #Space


2/2:

The motif was originally a kind of idea sketch for a stage background. The whole thing has developed in a different direction and it disappeared into the depths of my hard drive (of such images there are plenty). The format bothered me from the start, didn't come into its own on any screen, but conveyed the idea with the paper planes well. Then #Procreate came along and it has 3D objects on board, e.g. a skateboard - that's when it clicked ;)

I had a hard time picking the piece I wanted to share first, but I think I decided on a good one :artblackcat:

#Reintroduction post, let's go!

🌳 I'm Sarah, I live on the edge of Epping Forest in London, UK with my partner & our cat Ditto.

📖 I'm interested in #writing & have had a few #scifi #fantasy & #horror short stories published recently.

📚 I love #comics (mostly #DC & indie) & occasionally do some colouring.

🎨 I like #painting #abstract #art & love seeing all your #mastoart!

🖖 I'm also interested in & sometimes toot / boost about #history #space #moss #trees #cptsd #trauma & #StarTrek


I still have more of these poster sets in stock.

Originally designed for my daughter, they are a large "Portrait of the Solar System" in a "world-focused" presentation.

The set of 5 19x27in (46x69cm) posters compose a 8ft (2m) wide mosaic, or can be framed separately.

$60/set or $15/single from:

Boosts appreciated. It'd be nice to sell these.

"Now Witness the Firepower of this fully Armed and Operational Telescope." - Astronomer Palpatine. 🙂

"Alignment of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is now complete. After full review, the observatory has been confirmed to be capable of capturing crisp, well-focused images with each of its four powerful onboard science instruments."

I had no idea black hole visualizations with this level of fidelity went back so far. Brilliant! #space #RetroComputing

first simulated image of a black hole, calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.




A close-up look at the Sun yesterday!

I finally got a break in the non-stop clouds and set up to shoot our #star.

This image is shot through a filter that isolates the tendrils of hydrogen plasma in the outer layer of the #Sun’s chromosphere.

NASA's Spitzer Spots a Perfectly Sideways Galaxy

Galaxy NGC 5866 lies 44 million light-years from Earth and has a diameter of roughly 60,000 light-years — a little more than half the diameter of our own Milky Way galaxy. From our viewpoint, NGC 5866 is oriented almost exactly edge-on, yielding most of its structural features invisible.

Wow very neat! Amazing what we can extract from data sets like this. #astronomy #space #science

Excited to announce paper 3 in our Mapping Stellar Surfaces series, this time on Doppler imaging!
