There’s an old Soviet Venus probe “Cosmos 482” (They only gave them Venera #s after they were successful), launched in 1972, which will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere in a few weeks!? Designed to withstand Venus entry will it survive to Earth’s surface? 🧪🔭 sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2025/04/kosm...

This starts out cool ("Oh, hey, a failed Venus lander will reenter Earth's atmosphere! Cool!"). Then it gets ominous ("uhh, it may survive reentry and hit the surface -- we don't know where"). A real rollercoaster of exploration emotions! #planetaryscience www.space.com/space-explor...

Let's go, business license for this private security company revoked too lmao

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Possibly the weirdest planet yet discovered? Newfound world 2M1510 (AB) b appears to orbit not one but two stars...and they are actually failed stars, known as brown dwarfs...and the planet orbits sideways, in a unique up-and-down polar orbit. 🧪🔭 www.eso.org/public/news/...

Just submitted my first transiting light-curve of WASP-135 b to AAVSO for NASA's Exoplanet Watch. How did I not know about this before, and why do I have to wait 2 days for my next set of data? Time to get my telescope set up and observing! #exoplanets

It's #pieday today...so let's talk about eel pie! Eel pie has been an important English food for a long time. Medieval cookbooks often included eel pie recipes, & everyone from peasants to kings at them. In 1256, Henry III demanded eel pies from his bailiff at Fetcham! 1/7🗃️🧪
