Initially I only made this list for me personally to keep track of what these accounts are up to, but since there seems to be some interest I made a new moderation list.

If you want more real space content I can highly recommend these starter packs of scientists and hobbyists posting high quality space content:
bsky.app/profile/stim...
stim3on.bsky.social Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · Nov 22
Instead, I invite you to follow and support people who create original content, which is much higher quality and more diverse than what you see on scraper accounts.

@andrealuck.bsky.social made this starter pack of talented people processing space imagery. 🔭 (5/6)

Close-up of Tupan Patera, a volcanic depression on Io, Jupiter's world. The image reveals vivid details, including red and orange hues and more greenish areas. The patera's irregular, rugged shape stands out against the lighter surrounding terrain, showcasing Io's extreme volcanic activity. Its shape resembles a lake with an island in the middle, covering more than half of its size.

“The planet Jupiter has no solid ground – no surface, like the grass or dirt you tread here on Earth. There’s nothing to walk on, and no place to land a spaceship. But how can that be?” A physicist explains: https://buff.ly/3CQbHpj #space #jupiter #science
How can Jupiter have no surface? A dive into a planet so big, it could swallow 1,000 Earths
Jupiter’s composition is more similar to that of the Sun than that of the Earth.

Première particularité, lorsqu’on débarque et qu’on ne sait pas comment trouver des comptes intéressants à suivre, il y a ce qu’on appelle les kits de démarrage : chacun peut partager des listes de comptes qui l’intéressent, pour ma part j’en propose une sur des comptes de fact-checking. [2/n]
Les kits de démarrage sont des sélections thématiques de comptes BlueSky intéressants, que l'on choisit de partager

Ok, the Hourly Cosmos bot is now live! @hourlycosmos.bsky.social will post a space picture, with credit, every hour!

It may even post one on request if you say please 😉

In the whirlwind of the last few months, this happened 😯 I'm back at ESA/ESAC, this time with Aurora in Science Operations for #ESAJuice and #BepiColombo 🥳
As the picture shows, part of my heart is and will stay on
#EuropaClipper as we gear up for launch 🚀

“After exhausting all other measures to adjust to a lower budget from NASA, and in the absence of an FY24 appropriation from Congress, [JPL] have had to make the difficult decision to reduce the JPL workforce through layoffs.”

NASA is calling on citizen-scientists to become “burst chasers” by joining a program aimed at identifying gamma ray bursts’ signatures.
NASA wants you to help track gamma ray bursts
Volunteers will help researchers classify gammy ray bursts’ pulses and shapes, contributing to future research on the huge explosions.

Interesting HBR article with some numbers and research on return-to-office policies. Research shows that when organizations give employees autonomy (aligning work & personal lives), it reduces employees' fatigue and makes them more likely to stay with the organization. hbr.org/2023/11/retu...

I just don’t think it is appropriate for a major conference to set an abstract deadline before they have even posted registration costs…

Finally made it to #AGU23! After a little exploring Californian wonders. Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and hearing great science updates! If I can find my way in this maze that is 😅

“Plumbing of Enceladus” - as presented by Erin Leonard and represented by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social ! #dpsepsc2023
jtuttlekeane.bsky.social James Tuttle Keane @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social · Oct 5
Erin Leonard—Most models of Enceladus’s geysers use simple subsurface structures. However, Earth shows us that subsurface magmatic/fluid systems can be very complex. They’re adapting a model developed by the oil/gas industry to explore Enceladus! #DPSEPSC2023
A sketch of a talk from DPS/EPSC 2023, showing Erin Leonard’s talk about Enceladus. The major part of the sketch is a block diagram at the top showing the hypothetical subsurface structure beneath a tiger stripe. The block diagram is split into two without a black dash line running down the middle. On the left is a classic, but very simple, model of the Tiger stripe where there is just a open slots filled with water beneath the fracture. On the right, is a much more complex model, and includes a variety of sub surface, conduits and reservoirs, resulting in a tortuous path between the surface and the subsurface ocean. Erin is suggesting that the sub surface structure of Enceladus may be more like the right hand side of this diagram. They are developing a new model to explore fluid flow through complex and fractured material, which they are adapting from a industrial model, originally developed by the oil and gas industry. A little oil rig is shown in the bottom, right.
