This has now cost more than JWST or Mars sample return. Additionally, it is almost 14 times more than NASA's heliophysics yearly budget.
The US spent half of NASA's annual budget in just six days of unplanned war against Iran www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
En @pauwendewit.bsky.social meteen: die moeten we in ons programma hebben.
Mooi! Die was hier lang niet zo uitgesproken.
Messcherpe achterkant van het regenfront dat vandaag passeerde.
Heel mooi onderzoek,
dat een onthutsend beeld schetst van onze maatschappij die, om Hanna Arendt te parafraseren,
het gevoel van empathie aan het verliezen is, en daarmee een weg bewandelt die zich steeds verder vernauwt, hobbeliger wordt, en ongemakkelijker,
en die eindigt in barbarij
Having an orbital inclination of 10 degrees, only the tropics could be under fire.
And now one can wait for the Americans to leak these insights to the Russians.
My first decent image of C/2026 A1 (MAPS). Located rather low for northern latitudes, it may become briefly very bright in early April as it plunges next to the Sun. Currently around mag 11, with condensed nucleus, round coma and hint of tail. #cometwatch #astrophotography
“Think about that for a moment: a six-year-old child with a disability suddenly in a different country, separated from the country he has come to know, now surrounded by silence. The horror stories from this White House continue from ICE.”

De afschuwelijke Europese deportatiewet is erdoor. Met dank aan de fractie waar o.a. CDA en BBB in zitten.

De overheid is nog steeds van plan de btw-berekeningen over te laten aan een Amerikaans extern softwarebedrijf. Hier nog meer achtergrond over wat er gaande is en waarom dit een heel stom idee is: www.computable.nl/2026/03/09/d...

Ik had het geluid uit, maar Marco had dat ook al opgemerkt. Verwarrend als mensen aan hun beelden gaan rommelen.
Thanks for your reply.
Het oordeel van expert @marcolangbroek.bsky.social is dat het een meteoor is.
OK. Ja, dat filmpje op x ziet er veel natuurlijker uit.
@planet4589.bsky.social Marco Langbroek suggests it's more likely a meteorite fall. The time was too early in the evening for all-sky cameras to be running.
Dank voor de info. Interessant.
Vertragen heb ik wel vaker op filmpjes gezien (kwestie van perspectief), maar hier zit inderdaad iets raars in. Abrupte beweging van de camera/telefoon?
