Pretty inspired now, not been this inspired by space travel since we went back up after Columbia. Great reminder that humanity can choose to live and achieve great things.

Godspeed for a safe return Artemis II. Love space travel!

Not a terrible map 🗺️

Little #eqnz for Easter.

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake occurred 127 km WNW of Ternate, Indonesia on April 1st, 2026 at 10:48:12 PM GMT https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000slss

Another anniversary. 15 years ago today, the M9.1 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami swept through northeaster Honshu, sweeping away whole towns and killing almost 18,000 people. Five years later, this town of Otsuchi was still struggling with what to allow to be rebuilt.

Also @jhgurneyquakes.bsky.social give it long enough and you'll feel something grunty, near or far, I promise you.

@jhgurneyquakes.bsky.social was this morning the first quake you've felt from the Port Hills fault?

Good morning #eqnz 👀

Nothing at all on the Stuff homepage or RNZ, nobody expects a hoopla these days and yes it's a weekend but that's pretty average. Bit more relevant to NZ than Andrew.

15 years, of which I've spent nearly 13 here watching my home rebound and thrive. Kia kaha Ōtautahi. #Feb22nd

@siobhan-milner.bsky.social thank you for your presence here this week. I will see you on the gram 😁

Rest in peace Jesse Jackson. A truly great life and loss.

I often defend Metservice but not in this case, the lack of warning for the Heathcote catchment was unexplainable and not good enough. A watch was nowhere near sufficient.

The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

The hate for NZ has to stop 😂

Go Seahawks!!! 🙌🏻 #superbowl #champs

quite astonishing landslide in Niscemi, Sicily

⚡🟡Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued🟡⚡ 📍Where: Areas of Canterbury and possibly also Christchurch City 🕛When: 1:30pm - 9pm Friday 23 January ⁉️What: Downpours, large hail and thunderstorms. 👀Watch for any WARNINGS that may be issued. bit.ly/AllWarnings

Of course clouds have to be moisture-laden, otherwise they wouldn't be clouds. I get what they mean here but it made me chuckle slightly 🙂

Meri Kirihimete/Merry Christmas to my blue sky people, from down under in the summer heat! 🎄✝️🎅🏻

Get ready to see this a lot more in the coming decades.

Our infrastructure isn’t ready for what’s coming.

Another incredible photo from this account. Never thought I'd see anything from inside or near to the blast zone from during the event!

According to the USGS, more than 2.3 million people may have been exposed to very strong or severe shaking, and another 14 million may have experienced moderate to strong shaking. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

RIP Dr Jane Goodall 🙏

⚒️ 🧪 A M6.9 earthquake struck Cebu island in the Philippines today, causing at least 20 deaths. The rupture seems to have occurred on an unmapped fault, started below the ocean and continuing to the southwest, passing near populated areas of Cebu. Read more:

I have no words, never knew these photos existed!!! @davepetley.bsky.social have you seen them?

You actually erased NZ? 🤷‍♂️😂

Breaking News: An earthquake in eastern Afghanistan killed at least 250 people and injured more than 500, officials said. The death toll was expected to rise.

M 6.0 - 27 km ENE of Jalālābād, Afghanistan earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

The shallowest landslide I think I've ever seen and seems tragic too with cars on the road at the time. @davepetley.bsky.social what do you make of it?

Just found out about the discontinuation of the stratospheric temperature and height products from the NOAA POES satellites. I did not think to link these to recent political changes to US satellite operations. I am deeply dismayed by this. Our understanding of the stratosphere is now hamstrung.

The M6.1 shallow #earthquake near Bigadic, Turkey, occurred on a normal fault system, possibly the Sindirgi-Sincanli Fault Zone. A similar event occurred near Simav in 2011 and generated significant damage around the epicenter. ⚒️🧪

This. 8.8 to 8.9 is a big difference, 8.9 to 9.1 big again, 8.9 to 9.1 is an enormous energy difference. Magnitude 9 earthquakes are truly colossal events.

⚠️ A tsunami warning has been issued for Hawaii and parts of Alaska. The west coast of the US and BC is under a tsunami watch. Here is important information about tsunami alerts and preparedness actions. www.weather.gov/safety/tsuna...

There's the main event then! Got to be devastating for Kamchatka's coastal communities.

Explains the shallow aftershock depths to some degree, and very interesting on a range of topics!

The budget bill currently in the Senate would put 258 million acres of public land up for sale, including recreation areas, wilderness study areas, critical wildlife habitat and more. www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

I also derived a new elevation model from the aerial images, allowing me to visualize the elevation change in the affected areas. The rocks and debris in the valley are locally up to 32m thick and I estimate the total displaced volume is about 11 million cubic meters. #Blatten

Thoughts are with those affected in #Boulder today, whatever the exact details this is senseless and awful.

Local authorities estimate the volume of the 2.3 km-long and several tens of metre-high (at max.) deposit mantling the Blatten valley floor to be ~10 million m3! 🧊🌊 www.vs.ch/de/web/commu...

@davepetley.bsky.social A still from the helicopter video gives a clearer view of the runup the other side of the valley 😮

Swiss glacier collapse buries most of village of Blatten

Awful devastation 😟

Incredible #Myanmar quake footage.
