This year the continent of #Africa is hosting the #IAU General Assembly that takes place every 3 years, for the first time in the IAU's history. It seems only right that an African astronomer should attend this historic event, and #astronomy needs more African astronomers. If you feel the same, please consider contributing to the IAU African Astronomer Travel Fund: https://lsstdiscoveryalliance.org/donate/iau-african-travel-fund/

Given we were talking about cracks in the landfast ice, here’s a small one we were figuring where to cross. Two Polar Bears had strolled along it earlier looking for seal. #Nunavut#Arctic
What about the 35000 civilian deaths #Netanyahu already caused in Gaza, all the journalists and doctors murdered by the #IDF and the deliberate starvation of Gaza - all part of Netanyahus planned genocide. Is he also calling them "tragic accidents" ?
fuck that evil piece of shit #nazinyahu and anyone who supports him.
@CelloMomOnCars How many more will break off, with apparently no one in the media noticing or reporting?
Perhaps this would get more public awareness as an alternative to sports betting, the odds in which section of the ice shelf and when it would break off could be subject to betting.
At least then the public would realize that they’re betting on their future by not doing anything about climate change.
@CelloMomOnCars Sea ice stabilizes the land ice behind it. Meaning that collapsing ice shelfs can have dramatic effects on sea level rise when the glaciers behind them mobilize themselves.
