Did you know we have a remote observatory on Mars?
When NASA's Perseverance rover isn't busy studying the Martian landscape, it turns its gaze upward to do a little skygazing. This is its view of Mars's inner moon, Phobos.

Uh, did anyone else recognize Bobak Ferdowsi, NASA/JPL's "Mohawk Guy" from the 2012 Curiosity Mars landing, in episode 8 of "3 Body Problem"? And in a familiar role too.
Bobak's a nice dude, good for him
G’MORN FEDINAUTS!
just sitting here in awe how the maths & sciences of people in bell bottoms and polyester suits keeps chugging along across the universe:

the Voyager is proof that if #techbros ever wanted to explore space, they would have launched a million Voyagers with their billions… but they won’t.
their biggest con is not that they do science and maths for the good of Humanity. their biggest con is that they do science and maths at all.
Only three humans have ever witnessed an eclipse of the Sun by the *Earth*. It happened while the Apollo 12 crew was returning home from the Moon, on November 21, 1969.
Fortunately, the astronauts filmed the moment so you can share in the experience.

These unofficial Mastodon accounts of space agencies are bots that merely share news items the agencies publish elsewhere, yet the accounts have quite a lot of followers:

There's an unfulfilled demand for public institutions to communicate on open and independent platforms.

In a serious gain in efficiency, a Space X Starship prototype has exploded without actually being launched.
They're next plan is to see if they can produce an explosion during the assembly process.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe made the closest-ever studies of the Sun -- and got this unprecedented look at multiple solar eruptions piling up on top of each other.

Last year, astronomers detected a fast radio burst that got them excited as to a new discovery, but confused them as to the signal's power
When they pinpointed the signal it turned out to be... a #NASA satellite that died in 1964
They have some good theories as to how the zombie satellite fired off some signals but us #StarTrek fans know what's going on

On July 3rd, astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a rare Gigantic jet from the ISS. These upward directed electrical discharges extend 90-100 km high into the atmosphere.
