Just regarding the above poll, especially for those who still use #whatsapp : "Anyone who has ever sent an #SMS or #email won’t have considered for a second what network, service provider or messaging client their intended recipient used" https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/30/inside-matrix-the-protocol-that-might-finally-make-messaging-apps-interoperable/?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFsDES0uNgy415WIuC-sf6Iu1AVje98Ds3fB9_LCCgkjCnhALSZMy44PeSAs28RbgbMpJSV70tAh2HVFges7ctdo0FWA7xrSNCw-xYjDw_IyYm3L13qT2mI33eC5bV7Et1Hm6n8xQZQ1sszCgeWfl1xX2-IyEWrRMXXb-ND4yp04&_guc_consent_skip=1706835135

The Probe lifted off 🚀 atop a rocket from southwestern ’s 🇨🇳 Xichang* Satellite Launch Centre at 📆 3.05pm on Tuesday. The Einstein Probe is led by researchers of the Academy of Sciences and has major instrument contributions from the and the Institute for Physics in Germany 🇩🇪. It can observe an area of sky more than 10,000 full moons’ size at any given time. In contrast, existing large X-ray telescopes, such as ’s Chandra Observatory, can only image a section of sky smaller than one full moon at a time. It means the Einstein Probe could observe almost the entire night sky 🌌 in just three around , or under five hours ⏱️. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3247782/einstein-probe-china-launches-powerful-space-x-ray-observatory-understand-flashes-night-sky

There is an even more recent paper that in detail shows that wide binary stars are actually evidence against modified gravity.

#Brazil’s 🇧🇷 National Institute for #SpaceResearch is rapidly losing funding 💵, brains 🧠 - and hope. In the 📆 1970s, it became the first #SpaceAgency in any country to monitor forests 🌳 using #satellite 🛰️ data. Data from #PRODES and #DETER helped Brazil create and enforce policies that were key to reducing annual #deforestation 🪓 in the #Amazon by 82% between 📆 2004 and 2014.
The decline 📉 accelerated after #Bolsonaro took office, despite his campaign promises to prioritize #science. His government cut MCTI’s overall budget by 35% in the first 3 years of his administration. #INPE’s annual budget plunged by 63% from 2010. The last time INPE was allowed to add permanent staff 👨‍🔬 was in 📆 2012. https://www.science.org/content/article/brazil-s-space-research-institute-source-national-pride-struggling-survival
