i have like a severe interest in archaeoastronomy and firsthand observations of the night sky and the techniques that humans have been using to observe for like utter millennia. and so this had led me to a weird position where even among my fellow astronomy people i'm like, too knowledgeable about certain aspects of it such that none of them know wtf i'm talking about. like yeah my one coworker will make a metaphor and say that something is like an oscilloscope, and we all nod our heads and agree because we all know what an oscilloscope is and have done experiments using one. but if i mention like, the nebra sky disc. i'm the only one who gets it

#or i start talking about like the golden gate of the ecliptic or the first point of aries etc all essential for like #using the zodiac for timekeeping specifically #and my coworkers are just like. ? whats all that #but like . isnt it so cool? to look up into the sky and see the passage of time reflected in the stars and solar system???#to sort of work your way backwards and affirm yourself of the time of the year not based off your phone calendar or the #air temperature but solely off the position of the sun in the sky at a given time of day #brot posts #astro posting #<- ASTRONOMY #ive genuinely come to love the zodiac so much like its so good and the more you observe yourself the more you come to #understand why the zodiac constellations were so important in antiquity #but every time i try to acknowledge it out loud irl i have to be like. the zodiac BUT ASTRONOMY. NOT ASTROLOGY !!!!!#like literally the physical reality of the stars and shit. i do not care about the astrological zodiac

I got the chance to road trip out to the path of totality! My phone camera didn’t do it justice, so I painted what I saw instead 🌞🌚

Here’s the photo I took and the sketch I made with my finger in the notes app while watching it happen 😆

so international space station astronauts apparently dropped a tool bag during a spacewalk. and if you look outside when the ISS is in your region, you can see it with binoculars

The tool bag is now orbiting our planet just ahead of the ISS with a visual magnitude of around 6, according to EarthSky. That means it is slightly less bright than the ice giant Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun. As a result, the bag — officially known as a crew lock bag — is slightly too dim to be visible to the unaided eye, but skywatchers should be able to pick it up with binoculars. To see it for yourself, first find out when you can find spot the space station over the next few months (NASA even has a new app to help you). The bag should be floating two to four minutes ahead of the station. As it descends rapidly, the bag is likely to disintegrate when it reaches an altitude of around 70 miles (113 kilometers) over Earth.

she's fucking magnificent

With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.
