A new year, a new blog to brew https://journal.jatan.space/introducing-thought-brew/ ☕️

My idea pitch for India and China to exchange future Chandrayaan 4 lunar polar samples with Chang’e ones has garnered some interest at CAS. I hope something comes out of it if ISRO and CNSA decide to engage.

Here are Moon samples from China’s Chang’e 5 nearside landing mission as well as the Chang’e 6 farside one! 🌙

Relatedly, ICYMI, I covered the volcano of new science results from studying such samples, presented at the University of Hong Kong last week jatan.space/moon-monday-... 🌋

I also gave a talk on India’s upcoming Chandrayaan 4 sample return mission and made the case for India and China to exchange lunar samples.

This is what fighting Amazon looks like. The last 3 months have been a journey of discovery & knowledge about how to publish a multi-format book on platforms worldwide and also have it in libraries & public archives while not granting exclusivity to anyone, especially Amazon.

Work is fun when you don’t care about the algorithms, likes, and views.

Combining poetry, space, and our Moon! jatan.space/presenting-s... 🌙

Here’s a cool flex with no real meaning. I’m a verified author on Goodreads and Medium now. But what actually matters is how people read & connect with your words jatan.space/seven-uni-ve...

Hearing early readers express wonder and curiosity has meant more than these questionable labels ever will.

Very excited to have started the next phase of my writing: Merge the worlds of blogs & books to bring affordable and accessible booklets on important but undercovered space exploration themes to people all around the world jatan.space/presenting-s... 🤓

It’s available worldwide on multiple platforms with enhanced accessibility support. Officially provided for free digitally and at minimal cost in print :). Download at jatan.space/seven-uni-ve... 🚀

Hi everyone, some news (that’s made me pop out of my no social media life):

Celebrating 5 years and 10,000 subscribers of my Moon Monday blog & newsletter with globally published poetry. Presenting Seven uni-verses, poetry on all that space evokes jatan.space/presenting-s... 🌙

It will also lay the foundation for the next phase in my professional trajectory.

Once again crawling out of my no social media life for a pre-announcement: As Moon Monday completes 5 years and 250 editions this November, I’ll celebrate it with something small but special. Watch out for the announcement on my blog then. Subscribe to be notified, it’s free: jatan.space/subscribe

Okay, back to the sane zero social media life. Hope to see some space enthusiasts on the other side—if at all this post reaches enough people by the random will of the algorithm..

Emerging from my social media suspension just to share that I’m close to having 10,000 readers of my space blog jatan.space/about 🌙

If you like my articles on space and our Moon, sharing it or subscribing now would help me reach the 10k milestone. It’s free: jatan.space/subscribe. Thanks!
