We don't really know how or why Mercury formed. It defies many of the patterns we've come to expect. The joint European and Japanese mission BepiColombo plans to change that. Learn more: www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

Dr. Sarah Gallagher, one of the scientists we consulted for First Moon of Mercury, is part of the team that just launched The Institute for Earth and Space Exploration at Western University. Congratulations, and we can't wait to see everything they get up to! 🔭 Learn more: space.uwo.ca/

What if something like the Carrington Event happened now? That was the question we decided to pose for First Moon of Mercury! So we talked to astrophysicists, astronomers, climate disaster specialists, and sociologists to see what they thought would happen.

We are delighted to be sponsoring the inaugural GDCheese event today. We hear it's sold out! Toronto is coming in strong. Who will we be seeing this afternoon?

Who will we be seeing this Saturday?

Saturday! We'll be out looking at the sky.

On Feb 28th there will be a 6-planet alignment! Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will all be visible, four of which can be seen without a telescope. 🔭: starwalk.space/en/news/plan...

When designing greebles for the space station, we wanted to ensure they had a reason for being there. We decided that there were five reasons for a greeble to exist: - Power - Data and Communication - Structural Reinforcement - Maintenance Access - Thermal Management #indieDev #GameDev #Space
