Is that Nobel Prize stuff through at last, for this year? So, did women get to catch up? No? Thought so. That's why I didn't even bother to check the list this time.
Also, please don't give me that "if nobody nominates them ..." nonsense. The committee itself can also suggest candidates.

"... controlling space equates to controlling the Earth."
South Korea, most notably the Jeju province's government, is stepping up the game.
우주산업은 단순한 민간산업이 아니다. 위성 제작, 발사, 데이터와 관련된 우주 산업은 우주 라는 ‘고지,’ ‘전장의 영역’과 긴밀히 연결되어 있다. 미국은 2차 대전 이후 경제적, 군사적 우위를 위해 우주를 ‘통제’ 하고자 하였다. 이는 곧 지구를 ‘통제’하는 것이기 때문이다.

A beautiful article about one of my all-time favourite space missions. <3
The return of the Hayabusa2 sample capsule to Australia, and a wonderfully personal account of the mission, was written by @jacksonwryan.com. Fujimoto Masaki led the recovery team, and he insisted that JAXA allocate a Ryugu sample grain to be displayed in Adelaide as soon as they requested.

Here is how Japan's space agency pulled off a daring expedition to snatch pieces of the ancient space rock Ryugu.

Wir haben unsere Kapazitäten für die Kommunikation mit wissenschaftlichen, Exploration- & Space Safety-Missionen in unserem Sonnensystem mit der Einweihung einer neuen 35 m Durchmesser großen Antenne für den Weltraum erweitert. Es ist die 4. Antenne von Estrack, dem Deep Space-Tracking-Netzwerk. 👇

Ces images proviennent d'une station météo pour l'astronomie que je suis en train de développer 🔭 L'objectif est de pouvoir assurer la sécurité d'une coupole ou d'un télescope laissé en extérieur. Le tout open source et moins cher qu'une station météo commerciale. Plus d'infos bientôt !

It boggles the mind how someone can write an overview article like that and completely omit any mention of the European Space Agency, whose mission Euclid is. Major journalism fail.

What happened to koreascience.or.kr? Is it just down temporarily, or has it been shut down altogether? I was trying to get to their Space Science Society's bulletin. :/

#Klingbeil appelliert an die Verantwortung des Bundestages und scheint nicht zu begreifen, dass genau das wahrscheinlich der Grund für die Ablehnung von #Merz war. Der Typ ist untragbar.

As I have now learned a bit more about image processing, and about creating mosaics, it was time to revisit the data from my late-August SLAM, the "Slightly Larger Andromeda Mosaic". Here is a new version, without new data, but with new processing. 🧪🔭 #astrophotography 1/
