De superbes polygones de dessiccation photographiés par le rover Curiosity hier après-midi (sol 4928). Cette structure sédimentaire se forme lorsqu'un sédiment argileux (de la boue) se dessèche et se contracte au fur et à mesure que l'eau s'évapore. 🧪🔭 1/2

Fun fact: This is how we produce the overhead navcam ortho images. No nerd shit with math and algorithms. Only rad jumps for this rover!

Some spectacular shots of red and green aurora australis (southern lights) taken on June 5th from the International Space Station by astronaut Jessica Meir. The ISS was at about 51˚ 12' South Latitude at the time, south of Australia. flic.kr/p/2siCEm2 flic.kr/p/2siCk6C

New paper alert! tl;dr: parts of what we thought were the oldest rocks on Venus might in fact be among the youngest. This story involves the "tessera" on Venus, which is some of the weirdest stuff in the Solar System. A thread:

I was doubting that this year's solar eclipse in Spain would be worth it, given that there is so much atmosphere in the way of the eclipsed evening sun. But hot damn, after seeing this video from the 2010 eclipse in Patagonia I think I have made up my mind! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hlh...

This is something I have never seen before on satellite. Clouds perfectly outlining roads. Just incredibly neat imagery of Houston, Texas this morning. Massive shoutout to Ethan Mok who discovered it (on Twitter).

Taken with our VLT over a period of four years, these images show the rotating disc of gas & dust around the young star AB Aurigae. Features like “twists” signal the places where #exoplanets could be forming 🪐 More: https://www.eso.org/public/videos/potw2622a/ 🔭 🧪 📹 ESO/A. Boccaletti et al.

Some hilites from 'Rainbow Skies'. Infrared water vapor bands from GOES 19 are processed & remixed into some really quite beautiful motion portraits of Earth's uppity atmosphere...

von Karman vortices are legitimately one of the coolest things our Earth creates. These gorgeous swirls formed off of Guadalupe Island earlier this week. Watch these wondrous whirls go.

It's quite ugly with the raw pngs, but I think I have this figured out. It involves a combination of principle component analysis and decorrelation stretch on [IR3, IR1], Green, [Blue, and Violet].

From NASA The initial reports are in: #MissionToPsyche aced its Mars flyby. ☑️ With the Red Planet in the rearview mirror, the spacecraft will resume using its solar-electric propulsion system to make a beeline to the main asteroid belt and rendezvous with the asteroid Psyche go.nasa.gov/4dn30CI

Via DSN Now - Psyche has been communicating with the large dish at Madrid for several hours now. The configured datarate is 358.7kbit/s, so we should be in the gigabyte range of transmitted data by now - yet we've only gotten five images so far. #Psyche eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now...

Sound Up! 🔊 This is real audio of the separation bolts firing when Orion separated from the European Service Module #Artemis Even though there is no air in space to transmit the sound like on Earth, the sound travelled to the microphone through the mechanical structure of the solar panels.

The ISS crew turned into meteor chasers as Earth passed through a cloud of dust left behind by comet Thatcher in 1861. ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot set up a camera to automatically record thousands of images in the hope of catching a shooting star... and she did! www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed... #εpsilon
