In all seriousness this may have been my favorite shot from Artemis II so far

My highest resolution moon photo took me years of attempts before I got the right combination of equipment and conditions to create. This used nearly a terabyte of data and hundreds of thousands of photos.
This is formatted as a mobile wallpaper, I’m still doing these daily.

LAST NIGHT, CHANG’E-6 RETURNED WITH THE FIRST EVER SAMPLES FROM THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON!!!
LOOK AT HOW BADASS THIS PHOTO IS.
ALT The Chang’e 6 spacecraft after it touched down on Earth. It’s burnt up next to the Chinese flag with two helicopters behind it.
I'm still incredibly thankful to have been part of the Winchcombe research team, even for my small role in it. There's still a lot we can learn from this little piece of space ✨
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a brecciated meteorite! New analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite reveals that space rocks similar to this one may have supplied Earth with water billions of years ago.

Close-up views of New Zealand's latest #meteorite - found by a search party today after falling last Wednesday 13th.

WE HAVE THE FIRST IMAGE OF IO FROM JUNO’S FLYBY TODAY!!!
ALT A black-and-white view of Jupiter's moon Io against the darkness of space. The moon is illuminated by sunlight from the right, and on the left, about half of the surface is within the night side. The night side is subtly illuminated as well. Io's surface is marked by dark splotches and tall mountains that cast shadows.

See that tiny moving light? It's a whole world seen from 97 light-years away! The planet is still young enough that it glows from the heat of its birth. We have a festival of exoplanet light for the first night of Hanukkah.

Once again I'll be yelling about #meteorite analysis and all the cool things we do to give them names and work out where they've come from!

I’m BEGGING y’all to tell artists how much you love their art, even if you think they already know! Working in a sea of silence can be very discouraging… even one kind comment can be the difference between a small artist quitting or becoming our communities next inspiration!

hey i can’t come in to work today i have to indulge my childlike sense of joy and wonder
I've finally finished #BaldersGate3 and my poor boy has had an absolutely terrible time of it...
10/10 game of the year I will never be the same again

Here is a taste of the writing in the "soon" to be released Lavamancer Book from the 6yo DM.
This is one of the new backgrounds you can choose from for your character...
ALT GEOLOGIST You love rocks way more than most people. You have studied them in great detail along with the rest of the materials that make up the planet you live on. You get excited about things like earthquakes and mining. You also tell bad geology jokes… it’s not your fault.
A wonderful week of wine, sunburn, and science in LA with my #MetSoc2023 crew 😘
I've officially had my first foray into the world of #micrometeorite research with a local citizen scientist! I don't think I'd fully appreciated how much variety there is in these tiny bits of space until now ☄️
I completely forgot that I follow the owner of these delightful little meteorites, so extra big thank you to @Scottmp123 for bringing me some fun samples!
