I’m sorry … WOT?!
EXPLOSION FINGERS?!?!?!?
JWST’s new images from Orion Nebula are spectacular! Look at this structure 🥹🤩😱

I would instead offer Nature that they can send me their drafted posts and I can publish their posts on Bluesky for them. However, I am going to reject the vast majority of drafted posts and charge 11k for each post that I do publish.

Okay what. How did I miss this. Amateur astronomers found giant [O III] arcs next to Andromeda?!!
They even wrote a research note (RNAAS) about it: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

I am happy to see that most of the Astro community already jumped ship and is now on here. I had quit the other app a few months ago without an alternative in mind and it feels nice to reconnect with the community.

Kevin makes great open-source image processing code for NASA spacecraft data, including Juno, Cassini, HST, and more
Jupiter's North Polar Region as it appears to NASA's Juno space craft as it made it's 54th science flyby on September 7th.

I started going by "Fred" in casual settings and the difference is astounding. Acquaintances and healthcare providers can all of a sudden just address me by name. No "you're the guy with the weird name"||"I'd rather not say your name in fear of being offensive"vibes. It's wild how normal that feels

Ok, probably everyone has seen the headlines about K2-18b by now.
I've put together this thread to collate some thoughts on why many exoplanet astronomers are pretty sceptical about these claims - THREAD (1/N)

I was wondering why I found bluesky so pleasant compared to other apps... and I think it's because I have yet to see a bot, contrarian, or ad attempting to shift public opinion for the worse.

Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for quite a long while now
Jupiter as it appeared yesterday to the Juno spacecraft as the orbiter approached its 54th science flyby (“Perijove”). You’re seeing the mid-northern latitudes with the equator on the left limb of the planet, and North to the right.

Hurricane Lee is the 3rd fastest-intensifying hurricane ever observed in the Atlantic; and that’s no surprise.
Climate change isn’t making hurricanes more frequent, but it’s making them more dangerous as warmer waters power stronger storms that intensify faster, move slower, and dump more rain.

Hurricane Lee peaks as a Cat 5 with 165-mph winds » Yale Climate Connections
Lee could threaten Bermuda, the Northeast U.S., or Atlantic Canada late next week.

Before Twitter's decline, I enjoyed connecting with astronomers, physicists, meteorologists, people interested in fluid dynamics, complex systems, weather, climate, atmospheres, and people who applied any of the above to other planets (and also Earth). I'm hoping to find some of these people here...
