@KathyReid theres a meme for that

Em fa ràbia que tanta gent a #Olot vulgui fer fora companys de feina i mares de l'Escola Bressol de la meva filla, per no haver nascut aquí.
Son els nostres amics i ara són catalanes com vosaltres.

A #Olot el que sobre són #racistes #classistes

Hi posarem el cos, l'ànima i tota l'energia per combatre la vostra xenofòbia.

As usual XKCD hits the nail on the head.

Incoming! A severe G4 Geomagnetic Storm is expected to arrive around 02:00 UTC Friday night / Saturday morning.

At least 5 Coronal Mass Ejections took place over the past 24 hours, directed towards Earth. These originated from a large and magnetically complex sunspot cluster (NOAA region 3664).

There is potential for disruption of communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.

And bright auroras as far south as Alabama!

Designan secretaria de la Comisión de Ciencia argentina a una terraplanista.

Lilia Lemoine ha defendido su postura terraplanista, pero esa no ha sido la única afronta a la ciencia de esta miembro del Gobierno de Argentina.

I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353

This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)

Manifiesto contra el auge del negacionismo climático, la polarización y el odio en redes sociales

El Manifiesto contra el auge del negacionismo climático, la polarización y el odio en redes sociales es una iniciativa de Valentina Raffio, Isabel Moreno y Verónica Pavés, que llama la atención no sólo de los crecientes mensajes de negacionistas, sino también su estrategia de odio y polarización. 

No estamos hablando sólo de insultos, sino también de amenazas de muerte… http://www.escepticos.es/node/8872?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Let's send our best wishes for the success of the Chang'e 6 sample return mission to the far side of the moon.

Robotic landing on the moon has turned out to be lot harder than we thought, as evident from the poor success rate in such missions over the past few years. See table below.

China's Chang'e 6 mission to the moon was launched today.

The spacecraft and mission are very similar to Chang'e 5, which brought lunar rock samples back to earth in 2020, except that Chang'e 6 will land in the South polar region on the far side of the moon.

Comms will take place via the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, which was launched on March 20 and is in an elliptical lunar orbit of 200×16,000 km at 62.4° inclination.

Mission time: 53 days

"Sin embargo en noviembre comenzó a mandar bits extraños, sin sentido; muchos la dieron por estropeada y perdida. Pero el equipo que lleva decenios siguiéndola no dejó de intentar comprender qué pasaba. Cinco meses después ha imaginado cómo recuperar el contacto y hacer que nos vuelva a contar cómo le va la vida."

I would like to personally thank the Sun for blasting out *four* solar flares *simultaneously* on the same week I explain solar storms and also warn folks about the dangers of them.

Good grief, they've fixed Voyager 1!

That's some impressive remote support!
