Not sure if I posted my animation of all the known stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets within 10 parsecs (32 light-years) on Bluesky before.

The thing is, you can replace “cruel” in this sentence with funny, artistic, thoughtful, thoughtless, compassionate, greedy, kinky, creative, or any of 1000 other adjectives.
Why are so many of us only able to see us as exceptional in our faults?

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.
As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Geebus. This is where anti-science garbage has gotten us. Raw milk is *dangerous* under normal circumstances, and our current circumstances are very far from normal.
All milk sampling to date routinely shows 7+ logs of infectious virus per mL in samples from infected cows. Very glad this raw milk was recalled because I cannot emphasize enough what a bad idea it is for people to drink high titer H5N1.
.@capublichealth.bsky.social reports finding #H5N1 #birdflu virus in raw milk. The producer, Raw Farm LLC of Fresno County, has agreed to recall a batch of a whole milk product called "cream top."
Milk from infected cows contains staggering levels of virus. www.statnews.com/2024/04/29/b...

Pulsars are distributed isotopically in our Galaxy, and across the Globular Cluster population. Since pulsars come from massive stars dying and most stars live in the Galactic plane, we see them concentrated in this plane.
Here's a plot from my Masters showing Galactic Distribution of pulsars.

A red supergiant star has a truly cosmic case of dusty flatulence and that means it's about to die. And we've obtained pretty detailed images of it despite it being IN ANOTHER GALAXY.

A red supergiant’s clock is ticking, and we’re getting a good look before it goes supernova
I won’t cry when WOH G64 explodes, but it IS getting dusty in here

In the past 50 years, physicists/astronomers have:
(1) measured fluctuations in the CMB, proving the gravitational instability picture for structure formation
(2) detected gravitational waves from merging astrophysical sources (along with an optical counterpart in one case)

The same phenomenon occurs naturally in passive volcanoes, the ones that just release gases and particle that do not go very high. These enter clouds above and create a #volcanotracks, just like the man-made ship track . The underlying #physics are basically the same.

#Aerosol cloud interactions at play in the N. Pacific ocean.
Ship's smoke emissions change the reflective properties of (the low altitude) clouds creating streaks know as "shiptracks" (best see at near IR bands) .
Not sure what kind of ship (fishing/commercial?) they are but they are a lot.
