I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.
Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

This is my last year to make the 50 under 50 lists but as I always say, my odds can only go up for 60 under 60.

A casual reminder that we could have high-speed rail connecting NYC, Chicago, and all major cities in between (home to 44 million people) within 5.5 hours.

And on that note, my 8" scope is capable of doing this sort of planetary imaging: a 30 minute time lapse of Jupiter. You can see the planet rotating, and two of its moons, Io and Europa moving around it.
You can even see Europa's shadow crossing Jupiter's disk. #astrophotography

The Wizard Nebula is located about 7000 light years away and about 110 light years (6.5 trillion miles) across. This image is a HOO stack of 50, 5 min Ha exposures and 60, 5 min OIII exposures. It was taken from my backyard in a Bortle 8/9 (heavily light polluted) region.

It's great to see so many academics and some journalists moving to Bluesky. I think another key to cementing Twitter/X's irrelevance is to get politicians out of there and over here too.
Anyone doing a #cdnpoli Starter Pack for politicians?
