A gift for a friend.  Commission #1 is done, #2 is in the works. Next week will be no art upload for private reasons, so see you all in two weeks.  #furry #furryart #furryartwork #digitalart #muellermeier #krita #space #telescope #nebula

NASA is hard at work preparing for the SkyFall mission on which three helicopters will go to Mars aboard a nuclear-powered spacecraft. A breakthrough in rotor technology will help the helicopters fly in much thinner air than what we have on Earth. @ArsTechnica@flipboard.com has more: https://flip.it/PoomJR #Space #Science #SpaceExploration #NASA #SkyFallMission

I'm still astounded by this. This is our spaceship. Look at where the aurora is. That's the maximum thickness of the layer of gases that support our existence. #artemisII #earth #nasa #csa #space

Time for a fresh #introduction. They tell me I’m chronically #trusting and #optimistic 🤜 🤛 . It’s a weakness I feel no need to address. After the first 10 years my wife said she wasn’t going to explain my jokes any more 🙅‍♀️ , since I didn’t seem to care if anyone laughed anyway. That was a while back, and our #kids now have the same policy. Professionally I’m what happens if a #scientist 🥼 looks at themselves and asks what that’s for. Spoiler: it ended up being about people, and how #technology can make our world better 🌍. My last ricochet took me from #digital #economy to the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism: #space! 🚀 🛰️ 📡 . I've become a delocalised European 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 who rarely sleeps five nights in the same bed these days. Not even for the fun reason. But I came here in the Great Relocation of 2022 to escape from all that, and to hear about your #pets 😻 and #hobbies 🧶 It’s quiet here, away from the road noise and the shouting. You can hear the birds sing 🐥 🎵

Don't miss our next free lecture! Join us May 19 at 8pm as MIT aerospace engineer Erik S. Bailey — veteran of multiple NASA Mars landings — takes us on a whirlwind history of robotic planetary landers from 1966 to today. Hear from the engineer who helped make it happen at the Westport Observatory or join live on Zoom & YouTube. Free & open to all! https://was-ct.org/events/erik_bailey_2026/ #WestportObservatory #Mars #NASA #Space #JPL #MarsLanding #Connecticut #Aerospace

Happy #MayThe4th ! Here's a photo I took at @esoastronomy@mastodon.social 's Paranal Observatory in #Chile, with one of our 8-m telescopes aiming its four lasers at the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy orbiting the Milky Way. The lasers excite sodium atoms high up in the atmosphere, creating artificial "stars" whose twinkle we can measure in real time to correct atmospheric turbulence and get super sharp images. This is how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_QC2cLroDc #StarWars #StarWarsDay #astronomy #space

Are we alone? The great folks at Skeptoid have a kickstarter for their next feature film and the trailer looks great! 💫🔭 They had me at Carl Sagan: http://kck.st/4cFGFzO #space

Scientists have known for a long time that so-called “ice planets” like Uranus and Neptune are composed of some pretty weird materials. But recreating the conditions that create those materials is next to impossible. This is where simulations come into play. @ScienceAlert@flipboard.com has more, including what could be hiding in our solar system: https://flip.it/TxxpUF #Science #Space #SolarSystem

Looking at a galaxy 50 million light-years away through your telescope, every human worry shrinks to nothing. Deep-sky imaging doesn't just capture beauty; it confronts you with an universe utterly indifferent to your ambitions. #astrophotography #cosmicperspective #space

#PPOD: The colors in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope tell a story about density in the Trifid Nebula, a star-forming region about 5000 light-years from Earth. The top left, where it is bright blue, has the least dust. Here, powerful ultraviolet light stripped electrons from nearby gas, creating a glow, with winds creating a bubble by clearing out surrounding dust. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI. Processing: J.

It might be time to dust off your old solar system mnemonics. NASA chief Jared Isaacman says he wants to make Pluto a planet again. Space.com has more. Share your mnemonics below (we're "My Very Early Morning Jam Sandwich Usually Nauseates People"). https://flip.it/gaWuiI #Space #SolarSystem #Pluto

The White House announced a plan to cancel over 50 #space missions as part of a devastating 46% cut to #NASA #science.

The proposal would likely eliminate thousands of jobs at an agency that has just launched astronauts to the #Moon for the first time in decades, and dozens of other space missions would see their operations reduced or slowly wound down to a halt.

The following missions are to be cancelled:

  1. The Habitable Worlds Observatory being built to search for #life on dozens of Earth-like planets beyond our Solar System while addressing fundamental questions about our #Universe.

  2. OSIRIS-APEX capitalizes on the exceptionally rare 2029 Earth flyby of the potentially hazardous #asteroid #Apophis to advance planetary defense strategies and reveal how Earth’s #gravity alters an asteroid’s surface and interior.

  3. The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will deliberately search for signs of life on #Mars by analyzing the composition of samples collected from as deep as 2 meters below the surface.

  4. The DAVINCI mission is an atmospheric probe that will be deployed to our sister planet, #Venus, and provide the first detailed measurements of the composition and chemistry of its #atmosphere.

  5. Initially focusing on #Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere, and aurora, #Juno is already orbiting Jupiter and has expanded during its extended mission to be a full system explorer capable of investigating the Galilean satellites, rings, inner moons, radiation belts, and boundaries of Jupiter’s magnetosphere.

  6. VERITAS will create unprecedented, global, high-resolution datasets of Venus designed to answer a fundamental question for rocky #planets: how did Earth and her twin Venus evolve into two entirely different examples of planetary #habitability?
