Acabo de ver un avión aterrizando en el aeropuerto de Teruel :)
Foto borrosa desde la ventanilla de un bus, mostrando un paisaje con varios hangares y aviones aparcados a la derecha, y un avión recién aterrizado a la izquierda.

Negative Bz and solar wind speed back up. It's happening 🔭

Real-time plots of characteristics of the solar wind. Magnetic orientation became negative and solar wind speed jumped from less than 300 km/s to almost 800 km/s

Looks like the third CME is starting to hit now 🔭

Live plots of magnetic field orientation, and solar wind density, speed and temperature, with the latest datapoints starting to resemble the values when the previous two coronal mass ejections hit Earth last night.

I modified the Shuttle Tydirium 3D model by Fabio Allamandri to make the Mu-2 long range shuttle, introduced by the West End Games Star Wars RPG:

Pues tengo curiosidad sobre esto pero a la vez ni idea de qué responder a la gente que he visto postearlo 😅
Texto blanco en fondo negro diciendo en inglés: "pon esto en tu perfil y que tus seguidores te asocien con un personaje ficticio al que les recuerdes" White text over a black background saying: "post this on your profile and let your followers associate you with a fictional character that you remind them of"

Hola Néstor, supongo que lo otro será muchísimo más trabajo, pero quería señalar que si pones todo el hilo a la vez, en vez de ir añadiendo posts en tiempo real, no nos sale en el timeline para que vayamos reviviéndolo y difundiendo el evento. Simplemente aparece de repente algo así:
Captura de pantalla de bluesky en el que se ve únicamente el post inicial y el final de un hilo entero, con un indicador de "view full thread" en medio.

A gripe I have with this article is that Ethan seems to think the paper used only a Hubble image of the lens system (left) instead of our extremely high resolution very long baseline interferometry radio data (right):
academic.oup.com/mnras/articl...
🔭
A Hubble image of the gravitational lens system HS 0810+2554. It looks like three fuzzy blobs very close together, because despite the bottom one being composed of two lensed images of a quasar, the resolution is not enough to separate them. European VLBI Network image of the gravitational lens HS 0810+2554. The resolution is so high that each of the four images of the quasar is resolved into several individual components, and zoomed-in insets have to be added to the plot to distinguish their tiny features.

Plantas, plantas everywhere 😵‍💫

This weekend I've been playing a bit with the incredibly complicated 3D model of the Z-95 Headhunter starfighter from the game Star Wars: Jedi Survivor
Rendered view of the cockpit interior of the Z-95 starfighter from the videogame Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. It features a complicated array of lights, buttons and screens in many different colors.

Cuando fuimos nosotros a ese mirador estaba todo nublado y no se veía ná :_)

Pero saqué esta captura de pantalla… ¿Cómo está yendo el mal de altura al final?

And it's the second time that my character destroys a TIE Defender with a proton torpedo in this campaign, after the one at Jakku when he was flying an X-wing 😄 #StarWarsRPG

(I maaay have been working with extracted models from the game Star Wars Squadrons to illustrate that time in his life 😅)
Render of 3D models extracted from the game Star Wars Squadrons, depicting a Duros (humanoid with a big alien green head) wearing an X-wing flight suit in bright orange. Render of an X-wing 3D model from the game Star Wars Squadrons in which the color patterns have been modified to be a mix of purple and orange, with the Eclipse squadron logo on the wings designed by David @jointheschwarz.bsky.social, and the R2 droid has black panels.

The image that popped in my mind when I saw those news was this one:
Star Wars illustration by Darren Tan depicting Imperial admiral Daala wearing a gas mask while several Imperial warlords (all older men) are killed by poison gas. Gilad Pellaeon is also wearing a mask too, but acting surprised and horrified by what he sees.

Como era de esperar, la variante XFG "Stratus", más contagiosa que las anteriores, se ha convertido en la dominante también en España, y mantener las mismas pocas precauciones que hace unos meses ha hecho que más gente enferme de COVID.

I guess it's time to share again the intro to the 1994 Star Wars TIE Fighter game, which is set from the point of view of the authoritarian Galactic Empire and the first thing it does is to call the heroes terrorists.
Screenshot from a very low-res version of the Star Wars opening crawl, where the yellow letters flying off into space say: "At the battle of Yavin Rebel terrorists, aided by spies and traitors within the Empire, struck a cowardly"

For the next #StarWarsRPG campaign with @jointheschwarz.bsky.social I chose a character template that owned a starfighter. I picked a model from The Mandalorian, then realized it was also in Outlaws, which meant people might've extracted it, I messed around a bit, and damn… It's so beautiful now 😅
3D render of the Rogue-class Gunship from the videogame Star Wars Outlaws. It has a central cockpit module with guns on the chin, and two big engines on the wings. I have made it predominantly red, with some purple lines. 3D render of the Rogue-class Gunship from the videogame Star Wars Outlaws. It has a central cockpit module and two big engines on the wings. I have made it predominantly red, with some purple lines. In this view from the side the sun hits it at an angle that makes many surfaces shine, and the result is very pretty.
