astronomy is so funny because it's this fairly niche interest for a small community of nerds and also it's 99.9999% of everything that exists

Our Extremely Large Telescope is already 70% complete!

But what would you see if you walked inside it today? The latest #ChasingStarlight episode takes you there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IUeLqC-xpo

Astrofoto der Spiralgalaxie NGC 3913 mit der darin kürzlich aufgeleuchteten Supernova SN 2026dix (orange Markierung), südöstlich sind die beiden Galaxien NGC 3916 und 3921 zu sehen. Die Aufnahme entstand durch ein Teleskop C8 und ist ein Summenbild mit insgesamt 220 Minuten Belichtungszeit.

In February, the #supernova SN2026dix flared up in the spiral galaxy NGC 3913. I captured it along with the galaxies NGC 3916 and 3921 on 8 & 9 March using my C8, but conditions were rather unfavourable due to Saharan dust in the atmosphere. #sn2026dix #astrophotography 🔭

Elon Musk's X Rots Your Brain Data indicates that Elon Musk's X algorithms indisputably drive users into right wing propaganda rabbit holes from which they may not be able to untether themselves.

this is a radical position but I believe that if you are a person of integrity you should not be using far right wing propaganda websites owned by sociopaths

Fuck ICE.

If you have a problem with that, unfollow me, stop coming to my shows and STOP calling yourself a Christian.

Guild Of Pedophiles.

Actually NO, because they are just waiting in line behind him for their turn

Those sewage parasites will never EVER do what you all are hoping they’ll do because they are just as guilty as the top turd

Stop hoping they suddenly grow a conscience because it isn’t going to happen. Get a better plan

I love all genders🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
Because I have no gender.
Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety.

Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love?
Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

hello butterfly app it has been a long time

College starts in less than a month and in preparing for it I've completed neglected almost all of my fun stuff. Social media, video games, stuff like that.

Hi! I'm still here! I'm just really focused on getting everything ready for college and making sure it goes smoothly!

JunoCam captured this image from very close to Jupiter, making Ganymede’s shadow appear especially large. At the time the raw image was taken, the Juno spacecraft was about 44,000 miles (71,000 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops and 15 times closer to the planet than Ganymede. An observer at Jupiter’s cloud tops within the oval shadow would experience a total eclipse of the Sun. Total eclipses are more common on Jupiter than Earth for several reasons: Jupiter has four major moons (Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa) that often pass between Jupiter and the Sun, and since Jupiter’s moons orbit in a plane close to Jupiter’s orbital plane, the moon shadows are often cast upon the planet. Jupiter’s bands and clouds are visible, making stripes across the planet in various colors of white, orange, and blue on the poles.
