I hope this finally satisfies all the "but how do they get up stairs?" naysayers out there.

Underneath the waters of the North Sea lies the remnants of a lost prehistoric world. A land formed at the end of the Last Glacial Period, that eventually was lost to the sea. A land that is still a mystery, and is actively being mapped by researchers. Let me briefly talk about Doggerland.🧵🔽

I recently discovered from this video that NOAA has a uniformed branch with ranks and everything, like in Star Trek, and I am definitely submitting this to the EUMETSAT ideas box. youtu.be/Iht-B0WOsJ4?...

Two crewed Venus mission concepts from the Space Race: the Soviet MAVR and American AAP Venus Flyby.

It's important to stand up to racism and hate crime. We need to reclaim our flag.

Picked up Natasha Pulley’s “The Mars House” in a bookshop pretty much at random, knowing nothing about the book or author, and struck gold. Not the hardest of SF, but a really smart, enjoyable story, covering migration, populism, linguistics, and gender politics, with added mammoths. Recommend.

I am going to log off because I am so disappointed that a number of Americans who I thought would know better are so instent that we lack air conditioning in Europe because of a sense of moral superiority. We cannot consume our way out of this *currently*. There are legal and structural reasons.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your entertainment I present to you what might well be the most carefully compiled word search ever.

6 months, 1 satellite, a nice demo of our seasons. 🌻 🕶️ 🍂 ❄️ See daily snapshots at 06:00 UTC from Meteosat-12 tracking the terminator as it moves from the Dec solstice, through Mar equinox, to last Sunday's June's solstice. We also have a real-time Earth imagery stream here: bit.ly/4b7Iy71

A new season is in! Yesterday, Earth marked the June solstice when, at 08:24 UTC (10:24 CEST), the Sun reached its most northerly point in the sky. Just minutes later, the MTG‑I1 satellite captured this view of Earth from 36,000 km above — pretty far away! Credits: @esa.int - @eumetsat.int

QTP with a ship that makes you happy... No contest really.

The attacks on Ed Miliband, the one truly successful person running a department under Starmer, shows that the lack of seriousness in British politics goes way beyond No.10 to the press, the trade unions, the business sector.

There's too much summer heat to do something fresh this week. Time to bring back an old #Babylon5 model of one of my absolute favorite starships of all time #scifiart

MTG-I2 has arrived at the launch site! 🚀 On 12 June, EUMETSAT's MTG-I2 satellite arrived in Kourou aboard the MN Toucan vessel. It's now safely stored as final preparations for launch get underway. Follow the MTG journey: eumetsat.int 📷 @cnes.fr / CSG

There sure was! Here's some renders I made of it: a crewed Apollo Venus flyby.

Wow, looks like RTD really screwed the show. "Actually, the Christmas Special was just us gaslighting you, and I never had any idea what to do with the Billie Piper regeneration, LOL! So long, suckers!".

Lovely photo. I wish this was the relationship that actually got portrayed on the show.

Earth during the Silurian Period circa 430 million years ago. The plants (they are not flowers) are called cooksonia, and were one of the first widespread land plants. The tall things (8m or 25ft) are prototaxites. Notbody is sure what they were, but may have been fungi. #sciart #blender #paleoart

Rendezvous with Rama. I’ve given up waiting for Villeneuve now. Always seems to be just out of reach.

And if I can sneak in a plug: If anyone else is interested, I assembled a modellers reference pack for the N1 rocket, available on GumRoad here: starbase1.gumroad.com/l/N1-Reference There's also collected declassified RGANTD docs on the Soviet space program: starbase1.gumroad.com/l/qyczcm

Long time no see, guys… I’m working on #ProjectHailMary fan comic, I will finish it soon this month but not sure if it will be on schedule. Here are some progress I’m working.

Saw the first episode of Star City, and delighted to see that hardware featured on screen (I also enjoyed the actual characters and plot, so that was a bonus). Here’s a comparison of two of my renders with what was shown. Big thanks to @nick-stevens.com and @techspatiales.bsky.social for reference!

Never be ashamed of your opinion on works of art—it's entirely your own. You don't have to defend yourself for liking stories. Being a fan should just be fun. Also, please let me post cool stuff about movies you don't like in peace. Don't be like X weirdos 🙏
