Splashdown! 🪂 👏 #Artemis2

These views are stunning! #Artemis2 😲🚀🌕🌎

What a great day for Artemis 2! 😊🧑‍🚀🚀🌕

Liftoff! #Artemis2 🚀👏

I can’t believe how many people still think that we never sent astronauts to the moon before. 🚀🌕🙄🤦‍♂️

This is an interesting article in The Conversation. I would just add that the University at Albany in New York did initiate its own #UAP study last November. www.albany.edu/news-center/... theconversation.com/while-the-us...

(1/2) Interesting overview of the spike in large #fireball / #meteor reports in the last few weeks from the American Meteor Society. "What this is, is a measurable change in the AMS fireball data that we do not yet fully understand." amsmeteors.org/ams-q1-2026-...

I can’t believe they killed off ***** on #NCIS! 😢 The ending was kind of weird, but good to see Ducky again! 😊 🐥

This is hilarious. The airplane scene from Gilly and Keeves on TikTok. ✈️😅 vt.tiktok.com/ZSubX1q8K/

Happy Pi Day! 🙂

Recent images from Perseverance rover on Mars show what look like granite or other felsic rocks. There is also an abstract for the upcoming LPSC conference that says the rover has found granite just outside the crater. 🤔 Image processing by @areoinfo.bsky.social. www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lps...

My first “pet jellyfish” … 😉🪼 #jellyfish #jellies #aquarium #motionlamp

There was a fairly loud boom here a few minutes ago over Vancouver. I thought I heard something but wasn’t sure. Some people saying a bright flash too, but I didn’t see it. Maybe a meteor/bolide. 😲🌠

Who else remembers where this phrase is from? 😉 KMG365

Another #SETI update about the re-analysis of the old SETI@home data and the 100 candidate signals that warrant further investigation. 🤔📡 www.seti.org/news/seti-at...

Hmm … 3 new #SETI candidates for possible laser-optical signals. Found in ESO’s HARPS survey of 2,821 stars. All narrowband, 2 red dwarfs and 1 red giant. GJ 317 candidate most interesting. 🤔 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2508.08628 New @eventhorizonshow.bsky.social video: youtu.be/T3DnYvpKANM?...

New program at MIT about #UAP that started in January, called Confronting Unknowns, focusing on anomalous aerospace events. Good number of mainstream aerospace and other institutions represented. 👍 sites.mit.edu/jmill/confro...

The myth that astronomers never see #UAP/#UFOs still gets falsely repeated. There are actually hundreds of reports, going back to at least the 1600s, including from Edmund Halley, Charles Messier, William Herschel and Clyde Tombaugh. #knowyourhistory 🤔 podcastufo.com/wp-content/u...

I had thought there would be more discussion here, especially from the scientists, about the tantalizing new analysis of the fatty acid(?) organics that the Curiosity rover found on #Mars, but mostly it’s still just complaining about (with good reason)/debating what Elon Musk is up to. 😉🤷‍♂️

Interesting! Apes can use their imaginations and play pretend, just like people. 🦍🧠 hub.jhu.edu/2026/02/05/a...

The possibility that the fatty acid organics found by the Perseverance rover on Mars came from ancient life gets a boost. 👀 science.nasa.gov/blogs/scienc...

Interesting. Scientists found tiny single-walled carbon nanotubes in samples of regolith on the far side of the moon, brought back to Earth by China's Chang'e 6 mission. It had been thought they could only be created by sophisticated human engineering. 🤔 www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202601/21/...

New Jersey funds a new university-based UAP research center and Vermont introduces new UAP Task Force legislation. #UAP 👍 www.safeaerospace.org/news/asa-sup... www.safeaerospace.org/news/vermont...

A stunning new view of the Helix Nebula from the #Webb space telescope! 🌌🛰️😲 esawebb.org/news/weic260... You have to see this full size: cdn.esawebb.org/archives/ima...

(1) I was reading this Dec 2025 paper again about the temperate sub-Neptune exoplanet TOI-732 c. There is moderate evidence for 2-8 trace molecules, including dimethyl sulfide (reminiscent of K2-18b), all of which on Earth are primarily biological in ... iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

Hmm. “100 signals worth another look.” 🤔🤷‍♂️ #SETI news.berkeley.edu/2026/01/12/f...

Had a dream that I met Kaley Cuoco and we were going to go ghost hunting and try to record audio of “voices from beyond.” 😯👻

This is good, but Mars Sample Return is still on the chopping block. We need those samples, especially of course the ones showing possible evidence for past microbial life! 😕 arstechnica.com/space/2026/0...

Just finished going through the first season of #Pluribus. A rather bizarre and interesting take on “first contact” and the “hive mind” concept and I liked it! Already renewed for season 2, too. 😬👽

Happy New Year! 🙂🥳

“I want my MTV” … 😔

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄🎅❄️⛄️

Wild … a weird lemon-shaped exoplanet with helium and carbon atmosphere, orbiting a pulsar! 🍋🌌👀 science.nasa.gov/missions/web...

Just completed another trip around the sun! 🙂🚀☀️🎂🎉

Saw these cool Christmas stilt walkers today. At night, the costumes light up and “glow.” 😲

Big wind and rain storm here last night. My patio umbrella, folded up for winter and with a heavy cement base, blew right over with a big thud! Now it’s sunny again. 😲💨🌧️☀️

But of course, just before the Epstein files get released … 😒🙄

Interesting billboards for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming 2026 UFO film (not officially named yet). This way, it looks kind of like both an alien face and a bird. But if you turn the image upside down, it looks more like a human face. Cool! 👽👀 #UFOs #StevenSpielberg

Interesting update about sub-Neptune TOI-270 d. Latest analysis is consistent with a Hycean world with water ocean, but not proven yet. Also tentative detection of dimethyl sulfide (2.1-2.5 sigma), reminiscent of the controversial K2-18 b. astrobiology.com/2025/11/the-... arxiv.org/abs/2511.13830
