This is far cooler than anything I ever made as a kid. Looking at you, underwater magnetic retriever (horseshoe magnet on a string).

Since all the leaves are gone and the sun sets at 4:30 pm, I figured I would share one of my favorite photos of summer sunlight. ☀️ #bnw #photo #originalphotography #bokeh

Mondays aren’t so bad when you can curl up on the couch in your favorite blanket. 💜 #Mondog #dogsofmastadon #photo #cozy #chihuahua
Folks need to understand this if we're ever going to get anywhere. Like those Boys who were known to be Beastie said: "We're all linked together like a chain reaction."

The aurora is now competing with Christmas lights here but still much brighter in the city than I thought it’d be! I almost wonder if something about urban regions helps sustain and activate it bc so far it is always seems way brighter over the city than it is in the middle of nowhere lol.
One of the dumber things I'll admit is how grating the term 'dual fuel' is for me. It gets the point across, but I find the way the words are close to rhyming but they don't, frustrating 
At sixty years old, the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope is still one of the best looking astronomical facilities in the world.

A little walk in the woods today looking for fungi friends. Not many fruiting right now but my heart jumped every time I saw the orange ones.
Still no hedgehogs or chanterelles. I’m going to remain optimistic!
"Optimistic assessments of the materials challenge suggest there are enough global reserves for a one-time build-out of all the new devices and infrastructure needed (assuming some substitutions, with, for example, lithium for batteries eventually being replaced by more abundant elements like iron). But what is society to do as that first generation of devices and infrastructure ages and requires replacement?"
Well, dang.

@Fanua @TheAgentNDN It is a Native/Indigenous hosted server. we've been working hard but there was an issue that is taking time to resolve. Its surprisingly a lot of work. we have a small team of All Indigenous people, and we still manage to run into brick walls meant to limit communities like ours. anyway Native mastadon should be up later this week.

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. So next time you hear about famous men in #science share her remarkable story.

Rant on satellite constellations #SatCons
It's interesting how many of the large #satellite constellations are named after famous astronomers or #astronomy objects: Beidou, Galaxy, Galileo, Kepler, Kosmos, Kuiper. Yet they will have a huge impact on amateur and professional #astronomy. And I don't think, that is beautiful. Rather a slap in your face... 😟

I really want to scrounge around in the forest today.
On the one hand, these communities used a loophole to skirt the state's requirements for having a dependable water supply.
On the other, signs and portents ya'll.
