The universe is a glorious, stunningly beautiful place, and it’s offensive & gross when people produce or share fake space imagery. There’s a video floating around on here pretending to be the night sky viewed from Mars. It’s extremely fake, has been polluting the internet for years. Don’t share it

Post a non religious picture you think of as holy

The amount of skepticism I have for this spacecraft is colossal. There's no mention of SR1 anywhere on NASA's site. Some news of advances in nuclear propulsion are on the site but nothing indicating they're ready to build such a rocket. Having one built and ready to go in less than 2 years? Huh.

Here’s to everybody who’s giving it all. (By the way, it still gets around just fine.)

40 years ago, the Giotto mission was writing history:  🛰️ ESA's first deep space mission ☄️ first cometary close flyby ⏰ and later on, first reactivation of a spacecraft The success of Giotto inspired our Rosetta mission and together laid the foundation for our Comet Interceptor mission. 🔭 🧪 1/3

Todays video is about Scramjets, explaining why regular turbojets and ramjets can't operated at hypersonic speeds and how Scramjets solve these problems, enabling airbreathing jets like NASA's X-43A that operated at Mach 9.6! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFIB...

AI writing is like store-bought cake. It might be perfectly fine, maybe even as good as something you could make yourself, but it’s weird to give it to someone and say it’s homemade

I'm delighted to see that my @science.esa.int Mars Express VMC video is featured on today's #APOD 🔭 apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26030...

The first image off my camera of the Blood Moon. This is right at totality, 3:33 a.m. I did very little processing on this. I sharpened it. The light and color are exactly as they came off my camera. #astronomy #astrophotography

#PPOD: Korea’s Kompsat-2 satellite captured this image over the sand seas of the Namib Desert on 7 January 2012. The blue-and-white area is the dry riverbed of the Tsauchab. Black dots of vegetation are concentrated close to the river’s main route, while salt deposits appear bright white. 🧪

Very happy to see this being shared widely, AND people are submitting their comments and feedback in! Keep it going - it's important! We have to also think pro-actively. Today it is #SpaceX, tomorrow it going to be someone else. We need to push for UNOOSA satellite caps + constellation approvals.
