Que alguien me explique. ¿Por qué no debemos ver directamente el eclipse si yo veo que está todo oscuro?. ¿Lo oscuro daña la vista? o ¿cómo está este rollo?

In San Antonio, waiting for the eclipse and the cloud cover is pretty terrible. How is it wherever you are??

@tehstu oh fingers VERY crossed for you

@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

@eco_amandine that’s good at least! Our cloud cover was bad but the temperatures were nice at least

Normal day as a space reporter, just watching a video of a spacecraft flying through our sun and looking out at the Milky Way 🤯

(from the WISPR camera on the Parker Solar Probe)

@nashenas WISPR is two overlapping cameras so the short answer is image stacking!!

A daring mission to revive a defunct NASA telescope? Let's talk about Spitzer Resurrector and speculate on why the Space Force (and not NASA!) is interested in this mission.

Everyone TELLS you to use eye protection during the eclipse, but have you ever wondered what would happened to your eyes if you didn’t?

The reason I didn’t do any live posting about the Starship launch is I was frantically working on this. Here's my take on the launch (including video from the launch and flight because WOW SpaceX put on a good show here)

LIFTOFFF WHAT A VIEW

skrishna, to SpaceX
@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

I forgot to pack my kid's water bottle for school, had to run it over there, but I AM BACK NOW.

13 minutes to launch. They're watching the weather.

skrishna, to SpaceX
@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

New liftoff time: 8:02 am CT/9:02 am ET. Looks like there's a range violation with some boats.

skrishna,
@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

@isaackuo for the record, I laughed out loud at this

skrishna, to SpaceX
@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

Looks like the livestream is now scheduled to start at 7:56 am

@Eka_FOOF_A Agreed, not sure what's happening but looks like things might slip more?
