The #PaleBlueDot captures the fragility and beauty of our planet. Taken from billions of miles away, it shows #Earth as a tiny speck of light, suspended in the vast expanse of space. It is a humbling reminder of our place in the universe, and a call to cherish and protect our home.

We’re breaking down the science behind the Event Horizon Telescope - one letter at a time.
📡Q is for Quasar
Once seen as star-like radio sources, spectra showed quasars are distant, ultra-bright galactic cores.
The EHT studies quasars, too!

☀️ Lessons from the November 2025 solar storm
Last week, Earth was hit by a large solar storm. The event provided an opportunity for multiple ESA missions, whether orbiting Earth or far into deep space, to collect radiation data, which is now being analysed.

Today is Nov 23. The date's digits, when written as 11/23, form the first 4 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,...). See my book "The Golden Ratio."

Early views of a supernova’s first moments reveal a lopsided blast
Some of the earliest images ever taken in the wake of massive star’s death give astronomers important clues about what triggers a supernova.

A very close view of the craters that cover the surface of Saturn’s icy moon Rhea. NASA’s Cassini mission made this flyby in January 2011, passing within 76 kilometers (47 miles) at a speed of 8 km/sec (18,000 mph). This image had a resolution up to 22.6 meters per pixel towards the closer terrain.

Everyone seems to be loving this movie! I might carve out some time to check it out soon.

Could be worse. You could be staring at a dead hard drive. Power went out mid-transfer and took 800+ GB of my data with it. Decades of stuff gone. I’ll take the noise pollution any day (at least you can buy noise-canceling headphones). I can’t un-delete my weekend.

Seriously, phone astrophotography is awesome! I’ve got a few shots on my Pixel 9—nowhere near as good as the the pros—but I love seeing it shared. People should post more of their phone astro shots. Honestly, even simple shots can be stunning.
Wow! Stars! And amazed at how good my iPhone can capture all of them. We finally figured out what the Southern Cross looks like.

The Fibonacci sequence is basically the universe dropping hints—flowers, shells, spirals… it’s literally everywhere if you look close enough. Happy Fibonacci Sequence Day, fellow Earthlings!
