I'm excited to have my first publication of 2026 coming soon! Look out for The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Ethics Chapter 34: Ethical Considerations in Managing the Heritage Values of Lunar Sites. 🏺 #PlanetSci 🔭

I can't stop looking at the images taken by ISS astronauts during the Nov 11-13 G4 event. Here, I have taken a screenshot from Jonny Kim's video showing a SAR arc detached from the main auroral oval.

The failure of the polls in the Presidential election of 1048 had many consequences, not all of them grave. Whether the events of November 1948 cut down the expansion of opinion research into new areas or seriously damaged the prestige of social psychology is something that cannot yet be judged

The pollsters over-reached the capabilities of the poll as a predicting device. THe election was so close that it is unlikely that there was justification on the part of polls to publish a flat prediction concerning outcome.

Reading a 1950 Annual Review of social psychology, and struck by the extended discussion of the "failure of the polls" vis a vis 1948 presidential election (Famous "Dewey Beats Truman" photograph). Time is a flat circle.

How to use 3d printing for anthropology?

One of these craters is not like the others! It was made by the impact of the 3rd stage of the Saturn V, which launched Apollo 13 towards the Moon. Can you see the crater with the S-IVB?

Out of the 1,578 cataloged and named craters on the lunar surface, 32 are named after women – that is barely 2%. SETI Artist in Residence Program Director Bettina Forget decided to highlight the issue through her artwork. 🧪 #PlanetaryScience #WomenInStem

Since I have some new followers, I'm reposting my latest video made with SOHO images, where you can watch the Halloween Comet disintegrating as it gets devoured by the sun!

What does this evoke for you?

Last day talking about society and politics of outer space.

Great place to discuss other narratives of outer space explorarion!

Together with @drspacejunk.bsky.social, @electricarchaeo.scholar.social.ap.brid.gy, Chantal Brousseau, and Salma Abdullah, I published the first results from an archaeological experiment in space, which we performed on the ISS in 2022 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
