I guess I'm learning MMA now

hydrostatic equilibrium really does work on everything huh

setting g to 10 m/s^2 in geodynamics makes me feel yucky :(

geophysics is like evil atmospheric science

One of my favorite ever things that I've stumbled into over the past two years is Ziltoid the Omniscient

Astro hivemind happen to know where to read more about position uncertainty ellipses? Having trouble wrapping my head around it

MUTUAL AID ALERT: Stand with our community in Astro+ adjacent fields impacted by the attack on DEIA, support our community by giving aid through our GoFundMe. See links in thread! - choir collab, @blackinastro.bsky.social, Astro Poverty Survey Team, MVMT Consulting @dranicole.bsky.social)

Honestly the difference in work ethic between astro and eas students is insane (non-astronomers take breaks, who knew!)

I can't believe love won last night 🦅

I've slipped and fallen so much in Ithaca within the past week that I am no longer afraid of falling in martial arts

Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭

Post equally btwn sci + shitposting. #astrobites author Here's my girl Melon!

I don’t need to go on social media to have my worldview challenged I am in theoretical physics I have a new existential crisis daily

oh yeah I got to take a photo with ann druyan and hear some sick science a few weeks ago astrobites.org/2024/11/28/g...

calling the cool kids

i got a ton of followers while I was watching longlegs??? is the entire chronically online science community on their phones post-turkey dinner or something?
