The eight planets of our Solar System 🔭
We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt. #interstellar

Just finished reading Mickey7. If anyone needs a good sci-fi book I highly recommend it! It’s unique, funny, and well written. However, I do recommend not watching the trailer for the movie until after you finish reading it. Robert Pattinson accent is highly distributing.

If anyone actually liked turkey we’d have it for dinner more than once a year.
Thank you for coming to my second TED talk

What better way to broaden your horizons than to follow a bunch of scientists on Bluesky? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky
Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

I cannot stress this enough: give credit when you use an image (photo, artwork, etc) made by someone else.
Even if attribution isn’t required or requested, do it anyways.
They put work into whatever you’re sharing. If it’s important enough to share, it’s important enough to acknowledge.

NGC 7822 - This object is 2900 ly away with a diameter of 75 ly. The spatial resolution in this image is 3.05E14 meters per pixel. This means you’d have to travel from earth to the sun and back over 1000 times to travel the distance represented in one pixel of this image!
