Nur wenige Wochen nach der tödlichen „Titan“-Katastrophe hat der Mitbegründer der Betreiberfirma über seine Pläne für eine Kolonie in der Venusatmosphäre gesprochen.
Here's a picture of Venus taken this afternoon at 4:09pm New Zealand time. It's a lovely crescent at the moment! Tonight it was 6.9% illuminated and just 47.6 million km from Earth! #Venus#beauty#Astronomy#NewZealand
Ships USPS in a large cardboard tube, with a protective wrap inside, as they are on thick print stock.
As a small bonus, the protective wrap will be one of the promotional posters we created in 2012 based on the character design work from the "Lunatics!" pre-production Kickstarter for supporters. This features a line-up of our main characters against a lunar landscape with the Earth in the sky. #Science#Art#SolarSystem#Posters
I have long wondered about the body shapes of prehistoric finds like the #Venus of #Willendorf. From today's perspective, I would assume that there were actually no obese people in the #IceAge. But since the figures are very close to life, there must have been really fat people at that time. Surely others have also thought about it. What are some thoughts about this? How can it be that Ice Age people knew obese body shapes so well?
A Southwest Research Institute-led team has modeled the early impact history of Venus to explain how Earth's sister planet has maintained a youthful surface despite lacking plate tectonics. The team compared the early collision histories of the two bodies and determined that Venus likely experienced higher-speed, higher-energy...
The skies over the #WestportObservatory seem to be clearing out from the clouds and smoke, so let's have a #starparty tonight! Sunset isn't until 8:23 - it will not be dark until after 9 - so come late. On the menu: A tiny waxing crescent #Moon, #Mercury, #Venus, and #Mars.
Another picture from my recent sojourn at Mount John. Venus at its brightest gleaming balefully over the largest optical telescope in New Zealand. Mars is just above! #venus#mars#NewZealand
DeMars, 63, formed her first band and came out as trans in the ‘80s. She’s full of stories and wisdom from more than three decades as an out trans rock star in Minnesota. (Cross point from https://kbin.social/m/minnesota@midwest.social)
“If you’re going to watch the 4th of July fireworks, here’s a gorgeous suggestion while you’re waiting for the show to start. Look up at the night sky in the fading twilight for a few natural wonders that you can show to family and friends. Bob Berman has viewing tips.” #july4#fireworks#astronomy#venus#stargazing
Second night out trying #astrophotography. Wasn’t sure how far to crop so please zoom in! Any for tips for improving appreciated! I did shoot in raw but have no experience editing. #space#venus#mars#moon
It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡
#Zeus pursuing #Ganymedes who is playing with a hoop. Hoops (krikoi), were probably made of bronze, iron, or copper, and were driven with a stick called the "elater". Hoop driving was practiced in the gymnasium and was also used for tumbling & dance with different techniques.

Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
Venus Barbata ('Bearded Venus') was an epithet of the Roman goddess #Venus. Macrobius mentions in his Saturnalia a statue of a bearded Venus in #Cyprus, depicted in female dress but with the body of a man.

A recent study published in Astrobiology examines the likelihood of the planet Venus being able to support life within the thick cloud layer that envelopes it. This study holds the potential to help us better understand how life could exist under the intense Venusian conditions, as discussions within the scientific community...
Venus (left), Mars (it's at the top, look closely!), and the crescent moon (some may say "toenail" moon) with a hint of earthshine, form an almost exact isosceles triangle. Nature, and maths, are beautiful!
