The Bubble Nebula

#PPOD: This image shows satellites crossing the night sky above the northern Atacama Desert in Chile over just one hour. It is a stack of a time-lapse video taken on 15 October 2025 about two hours after sunset. A few streaks are caused by planes and can be easily identified by their blinking colored lights, but most trails are due to satellites. Credit: F. Kamphues, ESO/M. Kornmesser

Time-lapse photo of the night sky over Paranal Observatory in Chile, with the observatory seen as a bump on the distant silhouette of the hills. Overhead, the glow of the Milky Way dominates the upper half of the sky while numerous satellite trails cover the sky.

Next planned launches out of Vandenberg. Apparently a certain billionaire now owns near exclusive use of that spaceport 😡

"The rapid expansion of commercial and governmental space activities is leaving a measurable chemical signature in Earth’s stratosphere through emissions from rocket launches and satellite re-entries. The scientific community is calling for urgent, coordinated action to understand and assess the potential impact on the atmosphere."

⚡ Thunderstorms are antimatter factories - and it happens above your head hundreds of times a day.

During a storm, intense electric fields inside clouds accelerate electrons to nearly light speed. When they slam into air molecules, they release bursts of gamma radiation called Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes. Some of those gamma rays then convert directly into matter via E=mc², spawning an electron alongside its antimatter twin - a positron. These positrons get channeled along Earth's magnetic field lines and escape into space.

NASA discovered this almost by accident. Their Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope - built to hunt cosmic explosions billions of light-years away - kept getting hit by gamma rays from directly beneath it. The energy spike at 511,000 electron volts was the unmistakable fingerprint of positrons annihilating on the spacecraft hull. In one case, Fermi detected a positron beam while flying over Egypt that had been launched by a thunderstorm over southern Africa, thousands of miles away.

The atmosphere is not just a passive shield. It is an active cosmic forge producing the rarest substance in the universe, right over our heads.

I searched for "NASA's best photo of Venus" and this is one of the results: a low-resolution picture supposedly taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Why are the photos of Earth’s closest planetary neighbor of such low quality?

The impact of satellite constellations on astronomy can get much worse. A new ESO study has quantified not only the effects of the satellite streaks, but also the overall increase in the sky brightness due to (a) millions of faint satellites that create a veil of diffuse light, and (b) sunlight scattered by space mirrors, even when not aiming directly at the observer. 👇 #astronomy #space

He saw a new star! He looked up and realized there was something there that was not there previously. And he did not even have a telescope! The birth was visible with the naked eye, and today, telescopes can see it in greater detail.

Astronomers expected a celestial sign, like a #comet, during the planetary conjunction of #Jupiter and #Saturn in the “Fiery Trigon” of 1604. Astronomers watched intently. On Oct 9, 1604, Kepler’s Supernova exploded. It outshone Jupiter and #Sirius, rivaling #Venus as the sky’s 3rd-brightest object. Visible during the day for weeks and to the naked eye for 18 months, it was a miraculous “new star”. Today's science claims: it was all a coincidence.

#PPOD: Jupiter's moon Europa was captured by the JunoCam instrument aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft during the mission's close flyby on Sept. 29, 2022. As with our Moon and Earth, one side of Europa always faces Jupiter, and that is the side of Europa visible here. Europa's surface is crisscrossed by fractures, ridges, and bands, which have erased terrain older than about 90 million years.

The Seagull Nebula

"[While making plans to de-orbit the ISS] the Ocean Foundation leader said he understood the legitimate safety rationale for targeting Point Nemo, the point on Earth farthest from any populated area."

But the ocean's remoteness from human infrastructure should not be mistaken for a lack of value or vulnerability, Spalding said: "The ocean and its creatures deserve the same protection that international law affords to national territories."

@geethap2007 I would love to help so we'll sit on the idea.

I think it's for you (and other creators) to make #space / ways for people to be part of you work project (call it "project life" or a kind of creative #movement / therapy of expression together / building #trust / peace etc)

Make space / make Peace.

Maybe follow me a for a bit and put the notification bell to get ideas of what I mean...

Thanks for now.
