@reillypascal Yes, there's an RSS link at the bottom of every newsletter but I'm fighting with the website builder to make it more visible on the website.

I'm talking to a journalist in a bit about NASA's new "space sustainability strategy" and this one sentence from the abstract seems to sum it up:

"Given the substantial upfront expenditures required to develop and deploy remediation capabilities and the potential delay in receiving benefits, these motivations do not appear to be sufficient to incentivize immediate action"

I'm going to have to read this more carefully, but did NASA just say they don't care about orbit?!

@sundogplanets I was actually going to reach out and see what you thought, and then I read the report and was like this doesn't even feel worth covering because it feels so lackluster

@sundogplanets Do you mind if I use this? I think I'll briefly mention it this week

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

skrishna,
@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

@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

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?

@eco_amandine @morenitux muchas gracias!!!!

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!!

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

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

@Eka_FOOF_A I know. That was for people who were looking at my previous post which started the time in ET. I forgot to put the time zone in this time..

skrishna,
@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

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

And if you want to READ about the Hubble tension, and JWST's confirmation of Hubble's findings, rather than watch a video, the post is now up: https://www.adastraspace.com/p/hubble-tension

@Richard Right? I am waiting to see whether this breaks the standard model

skrishna, to space
@skrishna@wandering.shop avatar

Have you heard recently about discrepancies in the Hubble constant and are wondering what’s up?

I dive into the Hubble tension in my latest video.
