@sundogplanets I can promise as a geologist that Saskatchewan will not have any volcanic eruptions in the next million years or more. There is no volcanic belt anywhere nearby. Space debris is not controlled by geologic processes, so you are on your own for that.

@meltedcheese @GreenFire The fossil fuel industry supported Trump and GOP lawmakers in 2024 USA elections, so they are getting what they paid for.

@jjaron.bsky.social It says that they are switching from burning oil to natural gas and renewable energy mix about 50-50, so some carbon reduction

@sundogplanets The dogs might be less happy with snow if it was covering their dog food.

@sundogplanets @planet4589.bsky.social It was dark, but the pilot did report seeing something before the impact. It could have been amateur balloon

@sundogplanets @planet4589.bsky.social Scott Manley did a YouTube video about this incident. He suggested that most likely explanation is a balloon

@sundogplanets @RevPudDudley @KrajciTom I hope that NTSB does investigation into this incident. They have expertise to find out what impacted the United flight

@RevPudDudley @KrajciTom @sundogplanets The Starlink debris does not only fall over the USA, though. It has fallen into Australia and Canada so far

Helloooo auroras! (With a long exposure and a fancy camera, it just looks like a faint glow naked eye)

Also helloooo Comet Lemon! (If you zoom way in on just the right spot)

And fuck you, Starlinks, ruining the sky!

@ai6yr I am glad Governor Newsom had them close the 5.

@brianvastag To be fair, the Pew poll was for people inside the USA. I would like to see an international poll.

@sundogplanets Maybe you already saw this article in Earth and Sky about Starlink space junk reentries every day. It quoted your Mastodon posts.

1 to 2 Starlink satellites are falling back to Earth each day
