We live in an age when commercial spacecraft are flying around the Moon and we're getting views of our homeworld like this one. Simply incredible. View from Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander, scheduled to touch down Sunday in Mare Crisium on the Moon! Credit: @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social

Do yourself a favour and open up this photo. Indulge in the absurd beauty of comets. This is Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard, photographed by Michael Jäger in 2021. The tail, millions of km long, shows a region of greater density from when part of the comet nucleus disintegrated about 10 days before.

This is one of my most favourite photos of Saturn. The small icy moon Mimas, floating in space above the giant planet itself, crossed by shadows of Saturn's vast ring system. NASA Photojournal image PIA06176, taken by the Cassini spacecraft on 18 January 2005.

After @astrosherie.space and I lost our beloved Katniss earlier this month, we decided to adopt this beautiful furbaby that we've named Katie...already now known as also Katie-Kat, Katie Cane, Katie the Koala & the Velveteen Rabbit (very soft)! She is scared but sweet & has claimed the linen closet!

Sadly, @atmocheryl.space & I had to say goodbye to our sweet, beautiful Katniss last night. She was 14 and battling recent lymphoma. She had the best purrs & adorable cheeps & saw us through 3 moves, our B.S. degrees & a million memories. She's completely irreplaceable & we will miss her forever! 🌈😇

Just for fun? What's the oldest song in your Christmas collection (if you listen to Christmas music)? @astrosherie.space & I listen to lots of modern songs but we do have several in our list from the 1950's, one of the oldest is Kay Starr's "The Man with the Bag" 🎅, still one of our very favorites!

Lucy had a successful Earth Gravity Assist a few hours ago. What does that mean? There's no turning back now; we are officially on our way to the Trojans! Next "stops" asteroid Donaldjohanson in Apr. 2025, and Trojan Eurybates in Aug. 2027. I can't describe how excited I am! 🥳🧪🔭🚀🛰️ whereislucy.space

Got to see the launch of this cool mission in 2021 w/ @astrosherie.space - awesome to see it swing back around again! At 11:15 pm, Dec 12, Lucy will make its closest approach... about 220 miles above the ocean west of CA... and will streak over N. America in only 7 minutes! youtu.be/lIhF82kVjzk?...

Remembering this 2022 study that found that universal health care in the US could have saved 330,000 lives in the early days of covid. It could also have saved us $105 billion -- ON TOP of the annual $438 billion we could save in non-pandemic years. www.scientificamerican.com/article/univ...

Happy #Caturday from our sweet angel Katniss who is still here with us! 🧡 She's had a bit of a struggle lately but we've been working with her vet closely to determine the best ways to help her out & to help make other decisions when it's time. Just grateful for each day & every purr! #CatsOfBluesky

I will never stop being sad that rewriting the alt text for a badly described gif does not permanently replace it's poorly thought and woefully unimaginative verbiage

Decided to make a little lateral shift in our grad programs to Space Systems Management, so @astrosherie.space and I will be taking Spacecraft Environment, Commercial Enterprise in Space, and Strategic Project Management courses in the Spring! Feeling pretty excited about it! 🚀

Love this photo of Atlantis (our local Shuttle 💙) so much!! So wish @atmocheryl.space and I had ever seen a Shuttle launch in person! 🚀 Though we have visited Atlantis many times at KSC visitors center ✨ Credit in case the attached comment doesn't come with the repost: NASA/Jim Grossmann

Really glad I coughed up the big bucks to get the premium health plan with my job...sad I had to but considering the state of things & my autoimmune diagnosis, I knew I'd need it. It's still absolutely horrific that 'good' healthcare in this country is tied to a full-time well paid job though...

Thanks for sharing this! A co-worker and I were driving by the LC-39 Gantry two weeks ago and were like, 'is that an engine in there'?! Glad the mystery is solved! 🚀

⚒️🧪 Looks like the Mendocino Triple Junction at it again! At this spot, three tectonic plates come together, and since they're all moving in different directions and at different speeds, there's a lot of activity. This area has M6+ earthquakes more often than anywhere else in California.
