#eclipse suggestion & request: how'bout we create a stream of tagged eclipse photos (taken just when the sun is most hidden) of tomorrow's eclipse!
Post consisting of a photo (showing the eclipsed sun), time of maximum eclipse for your location* and the name of the location.
Use hashtag #EclipseStream
Please boost so more people join! Might become a nice timelapse!
*look it up @ timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/@27…

Attached: 1 image Found my spot to watch the #eclipse tomorrow. It's glorious. There's even sheep so I hope to ride one when the sun gets eaten by the moon goat. You? #space #sunMastodon
“Vaporizing a car’s worth of aluminum, other metals, and chemicals in the upper atmosphere, every hour, indefinitely? Not good.”

Musk's space junk is a threat to us all
Pieces of space junk are falling to earth on a regular basis. On Techtonic this week I spoke with astronomer Samantha Lawler, who has been raising the alarm...Mark Hurst (Creative Good)
Let's take a moment to appreciate the Parker Solar Probe
Currently it's by FAR the fastest human made object ever, with an incredible 635,000 kilometers per hour, the peak velocity is roughly 0.064% the speed of light
- Around Earth in about 4 minutes
- To the moon in about 36 minutes

Parker Solar Probe: The Mission
Parker Solar Probe will swoop to within 4 million miles of the Sun's surface, facing heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it. Launched on Aug.parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu

Sun's swirling surface captured in spectacular detail by world's largest solar telescope
The highest-resolution imagery of the Sun's surface ever taken reveals dizzying currents, and clues about our star's magnetic fields.Ellen Phiddian (ABC News)
Total solar #eclipse loading ☀️🌕🌍
On 12 August, the #Moon will slip between the #Earth and the #Sun, turning day into night for up to a minute and a half along the path of totality.
Get the gist with ESO fellow Mar Carretero Castrillo 🎬👇

"Our measurements reveal an average brightness seven times brighter than mitigation targets cited in FCC filings and peak values over 200 times brighter than the International Astronomical Union’s recommended threshold (V magnitude 7). Now, AST SpaceMobile is expected to deploy over 200 Block 2 satellites that are each three times larger (199 m2) which would be three times brighter than Block 1 (all else being equal), and regulations have not changed."
A discarded #SpaceX rocket is on a high-speed collision course with the #moon
The rocket’s upper stage will unintentionally slam into the moon Wednesday, carving out a crater & sending up a plume of dust & rubble.
#Space tracking expert Bill Gray predicts an impact of 5,400 mph—7X the speed of sound—near Einstein Crater.
While scientists are not too concerned about this particular piece of #SpaceJunk, it highlights the growing threat as more & more items cram into orbit.

The conclusion of a century-long quest 😲
Our VLT obtained firm evidence that Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation and one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone!

#PPOD: This image is quite extraordinary, and it's not the big disk that's attracting the most attention. Although the planet PDS 70c (just inside the disk) is newly formed and, interestingly, similar in size and mass to Jupiter, it's the fuzzy patch around it that's causing the commotion. That fuzzy patch is thought to be itself a dusty disk that is now forming into moons -- and that has never been seen before. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/Benisty et al.
