@markmccaughrean I'm looking at a Nature paper that builds on the papers you did with Pearson. Are your papers still in peer-review purgatory? (Or is my google foo failing me?)

@starstryder@astrodon.social avatar

@markmccaughrean I'm glad this is a "for the better science" instead of something else. I'm so glad you have everything on ArXiv for now.

It's not over until the fat sunspot rotates away.

Sunspot complex 3664 just let off an X8.8 flare pointed AWAY from Earth. This means (very sadly) we are unlikely to get another round of aurorae like last Friday.

But there is a lot left in this Solar Max, so keep watching.

While editing a short video about tonight's potential solar storm I discovered I'd made this face.

Because I know Starlinks are likely coming down, and I'm an astronomer, and we can get excited about these things sometimes.

Villainously excited.

Check out the shorts on instagram.com/CosmoQuestX

Massive storms rolled thru earlier tonight and as the skies cleared a double rainbow popped out.

I have a ton of work to do, and really need to get up and get dressed and get outside, but first dog.

So happy to have gotten this opportunity to share about what you can expect from the science in the shadow!

Random thought:

If Chrome thinks I can't browse without the help of AI, why do billionaires think we need humans on Mars to do the exploration instead of robots?

Can we all just admit that it's ok to want to go to Mars but we don't actually need to go to Mars?

We’re at the @drafthouse STL to see the awesomeness on the Big Screen in the Big Show theatre.

I may be excited. The local Ghostbusters crew is here raising money for suicide prevention and everything is full of “save the world” energy.

@rjblaskiewicz @starstryder during the pandemic. They are really working hard to revitalize the area near the old silos off 64. An ikea and tech cortex started it off and note there is the start of an entertainment district

My fitness app needs a "Killing fruit in VR" option.

@starstryder@astrodon.social avatar

@timelordiroh It is super fun. I can't do aerobics without dying a little bit on the inside. Killing fruit however...

Prior to the pandemic, I had flown well over a million miles on @americanair .

Despite barely flying since Feb 2020, I find myself gloriously upgraded today. Brand loyalty for the win and for the legroom!

It's story time!

Starting at 10pm, I'll be reading Chapter 5 (and probably also 6) of "A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs on http://Twitch.tv/StarStryder.

You can also catch the (still unedited) recordings of earlier chapters on my YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/@starstryder

Tonight I'm starting Edgar Rice Burrough's "A Princess of Mars" on Twitch.tv/StarStryder. Tune in at 10pm E / 7pm P for so silly chatter and chapters 1 and 2.

Summary: Cowboy goes thru cave in Arizona & ends up on Mars; drama ensues.
