Happy pride Santa Cruz!

So much positive energy at today's Santa Cruz Pride Parade youtu.be/pMt6E8tbuZ4

From today’s visit to Monkeyflower Ranch in Salinas California.

In the event of a nuclear apocalypse, apparently humanity's last words will be "Bro, Bro, Oh my gosh, Dude, check it out" with accompanying mushroom cloud cell phone video.

It is great to see the scale of Dragonfly here. All of the animations of the mission don't easily show off how huge this drone is. I can't wait for it to fly in Titan's atmosphere.

I posted about spacecraft knots in 2012! Well, I edited a post by knot tyer David Fred: www.planetary.org/articles/201...

I wonder if next hard drive will be labeled after eponymous lubricant

If sat phones no-joy, maybe they should try their iPhones.

For you Artemis backout viewing. Crop of www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

I just uploaded a video with all four available tracking views of the Artemis II launch next to each other. #Artemis youtu.be/ydUeuJvZ97s

Tonight's SpaceX Launch seen from Santa Cruz CA youtu.be/NQ9wgzV9JT0

Little know fact, the crew in the train tail car was composed entirely of owls.

Well, there is your problem.

Eclipsed moon. Yay.

Every year I’m so delighted and proud to see “my” art show has continued to live and grow beyond me :) The grads running it always do an awesome job and it’s become a community staple in Tucson! It runs all weekend, go see some #sciart! 🎨🪐

For California folks. Launch now planned for 6:08 PM Sunday (12/28) evening. An hour after sunset, so might get Space-Jellyfish effect. www.facebook.com/SLD30/posts/...

Wasn't expecting Kpop Demon Hunters Chili at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk's chili cook-off today.

An intriguing hi-res photograph of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite with its 12m antenna fully unfurled in space. The pic was taken on Aug 21 by one of the earth observation satellites in the Vantor (formerly Maxar) Constellation. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #PlanetSci

Good turnout for #NoKings march in Santa Cruz California.

+1 to Anthropic for naming their agentic AI infra Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) which non-coincidentally also stands for Master-Control-Program, the protagonist in Tron. EOL

A rule of thumb for tsunamis is that in open ocean, they move at similar speeds to commercial airliners. If you're ever curious how long it would take for a tsunami to get from one place to another, look up the duration of a similar-length flight.

Since JunoCam hasn't been feeling well for the last two perijove passes, here's a rewind back to Perijove 1, August 2016. Image JNCE_2016240_00C06160 acquired 2016-08-27T11:59 from altitude 73,009 km.

Animated gif of Juno/JIRAM 3.5-micron observations of Io from December 27, 2024. This gif covers roughly 45 minutes of time as Juno passed Io at a distance of 74,444 km. The eruption at West Illyrikon was so intense that it saturated the detector and caused internal reflections within JIRAM's optics

Now hear me out - interstellar spacecraft the size of a comet, covered in solid volatile fuel, with reflective panels for controlled heating and thrust during a close stellar flyby, falling from one system next...
