Chara

A drawn fanart of Hatsune Miku from Vocaloid. She’s has cyan-turquoise color hair two long twin tails, black headphones with pink and yellow lights, two black & pink twin square shaped pony tail clips (?), cyan-turquoise eyes, a grey shirt with cyan-turquoise neck tie, a black thigh short skirt with cyan-turquoise stripe at the bottom, black long boots with cyan-turquoise strips at the top of the boots. She’s reaching out one hand out to the viewer while the other hand is touching her headphones, she’s smiling while in a white background with a pink stylized square with a music sheet and music notes in it

How nice of them to include Earth for scale! (joke)

New Evidence Points to Venusian Lava Tubes, and They’re Really Big - Eos Researchers bring new life to 30-year-old Magellan data to unearth the first direct evidence of the long-hypothesized structures.

“Look, this is what we found,” said one of the researchers. “It’s gigantic.”

From our 2026 vantage point, a 2033 launch window for Neptune feels rather close... but it's encouraging to see this ambition for an Ice Giant mission!

Wouldn't it be cool if I write a simple text-based game in Python about space colonization?

I wonder what the best kinds of locations for building a space colony would be. Feels it'd be hard to beat cold giant planets and their usually extensive and resource rich satellite system.

A scenario I can think of is that the home planet is now occupied by some sort of hostile entity (whether that be some sort of magical virus, or hostile AI hunting humans) that is confined to the planet. Nevermind how you might bring virus to your new planet, or the AI might just send spaceships.

i don't like it when sci-fi media has people spending years or decades living in a spaceship travelling to some faraway habitable planet that is supposedly the only place they can live on. you're clearly capable of living in a habitat for extended periods of time, why not instead go somewhere with -

I'm super excited to share a HUGE paper out from Young Worlds Lab team member Andy Boyle.

I present for you, ~900,000 rotation periods from TESS!

Iota Pavonis (G0V, 17.79 pc) has a low mass stellar companion at ~9 au. Earth-like planets are unlikely to form around it. Please make sure to adjust your travel itinerary accordingly.

Good news: @astrosky.eco is now fully hosted in the EU, by an EU company! 🔭

I wanted to migrate to a more cost-efficient server layout anyway, so I figured why not also move out of the US while we're at it 🎉

In our defense, the astrophysics/astronomy community was one of the earlier ones to have lots of people get suspicious of Elon Musk

this is so fun because i know an LLM wouldn’t give me a response this creative. like this took the funniest shortcut possible. come have fun at youraislopbores.me

Yeouch

I wonder what happens if you poke that glowing circular plane of pure energy with a stick

This! This is why you should never feel ashamed to reshare your own artwork.

We're not content farms, we're people making artwork.

Our art is worth more than a scrolling glance. Share it more than once.

Anyone who gets annoyed isn't here to appreciate art, they're here for content.

It's always funny what gets left out of "tradition" and "the West"

Mesopotamia: Reams of poetry written by a trans woman, epic about trauma, grief and failure.

Greece: Queer loss and the futile brutality of war, societies brought to ruin by aristocratic pride. Also everything Sappho wrote.

I wasn't aware Lalande apparently(?) discovered this star, though. At least Wikipedia doesn't have any information of anything before that. Fascinating. Also, the name "Argelander's second star"...

I wonder if we should rename Wikipedia article Lalande 21185 to Gliese 411.

Yesterday I participated in a wonderful event organized by the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Valencia. High school students prepared different messages to send to the potentially habitable exoplanet GJ 1002 b, whose discovery I led a few years ago. 🔭#exoplanets

It’s true, I was the email that was sent

I named an asteroid after Cary Huang (that guy from @jacknjellify.bsky.social)

all I did was write the name proposal and email it to the IAU WGSBN back in February 2021 cause I was bored during COVID lockdown. It got accepted in June 2021 somehow

I have an asteroid named after me. No, I don’t know the number; it’s six digits long and I can’t remember it. Just trust me.
