I recently signed an Implementing Arrangement between
@esa.int and the State Space Agency of Ukraine. This agreement launches our first joint projects, opening the door for Ukrainian scientists, engineers and companies to work alongside ESA Member States.

Planetes. El manga no lo he leído pero el anime es interesante. A no mucho tardar vamos a necesitar basureros espaciales como éstos.

Open Sesame!

The ELT doors have moved for the first time. This was no small feat, as each door will weigh 650 tonnes once completed.

The ELT dome & its doors will guard the telescope from the harsh conditions of the Atacama Desert.

Como profe de Náuticas, oficial de la Armada y friki de la seguridad marítima, me paso el día explicando esto: el 90% del comercio mundial pasa por 8 estrechos. OCHO. Si los cierran, tu supermercado se vacía en 72h. Abro hilo sobre los puntos que controlan el planeta 🧵⚓

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.
Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

Efectivamente, la independencia energética es una cuestión de seguridad nacional y no solo por la crisis climática. Comprar petróleo y gas a estados autocráticos es abrir la puerta al chantaje (Rusia, Golfo, EEUU…). Dónde hay que firmar.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Texto relevante para el día de los muertos. A veces creo que Ann Druyan debería reclamar su propia contribución a la divulgación, sin menosprecio de la Sagan.

Como socio de @circuloesceptico.bsky.social nunca he entendido el rechazo a la patente brevedad de todo. Pienso, como Druyan, que ese rechazo a lo efímero de lo que somos y lo que nos rodea arrebata esmalte y significado a la milagrosa e improbable belleza de estar vivo ahora.

And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations.

I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.

Comet A6 Lemmon's closest approach to the Sun is on November 8th, 2025. I took this image on October 29th showing a huge increase in activity around the core. A very zoomed in shot using a 16 inch telescope f/18, 7400mm focal length with Canon R6.

La tecnología discrimina a gran parte de la población.
Algo que era tan simple como ver la TV se ha complicado de tal manera para la generación de mis padres que no encuentran el modo de orientarse con mandos, dispositivos, plataformas...

> 80% of the people only need 20% of the features. Hide the rest from them and you’ll make them more productive and happy. That’s really all it takes.

that's also where progressive disclosure comes handy

Hoy, hace 10 años, tuve la oportunidad de escuchar en directo a Jim Lovell, astronauta de los Proyectos Gemini y Apollo, uno de los tres primeros en llegar a la órbita lunar y comandante del Apolo 13.
Escuchad la charla con la que nos deleitó a sus 87 años

3I/ATLAS is behaving just as a comet should. No shenanigans. Looking forward to the possibility of JUICE (a European spacecraft heading eventually to Jupiter) observing this object in the coming weeks!
marshall-eubanks.bsky.social Marshall Eubanks @marshall-eubanks.bsky.social · 6d
I have just received from Kevin Walsh of SWRI a re-analysis of the PUNCH data for 3I/ATLAS, & have redone our gas and dust coma prediction models as a result. These new data agree well with the independent reductions of Thomas Lehmann and bode well for the Juice observations starting November 2nd.
Magnitude estimates for the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.
