–There! The asteroid is no more... but better yet, I have proven that my laser asteroid deflection method actually works! –Are you telling me that you doubted your own invention? After all this... _this_? –Well, Aldrich, there's always a risk of failure! [1/10] #SciFiSat

–Seriously, Aldrich, is it such big of a deal? –Yes, Reyes, yes it is. You used that asteroid for some kind of frivolous target practise even after I had explicitly told you several times not to do so! –It's a dead piece of rock in a mostly empty system. What- [1/10] #SciFiFri

–Aldrich, we're still waiting on you... what's happening up there? –Nothing. Absolutely nothing, that is what is happening. I am stuck, Reyes. Stuck in these vents. –Oh. Right... then you should come right back. [1/10] #SciFiFri

–Oh, so it took a non science non engineer guy to figure that out? Congrats, Cadwell, you're officially smarter than both Reyes and the doc here put together. –Thanks, cap'n! –Let us not be hasty, captain, I... –Shut up, doctor! –But he... –You too, Reyes! [1/10] #SciFiSat

–So we get to be stuck in a glorified waterless fish tank while Reyes and Cadwell are shooting up the place to space debris playing space invaders! I am not amused. –For the last time, captain, no one is "shooting up" anything! That's not how these lasers work! [1/10] #SciFiFri

–Psst! Aldrich, over here! –Hm? Captain, what are you doing hiding in that... box. –It's not a box, it used to contain fire extinguishers. –Where are the fire extinguishers now? –Oh never mind that! Have you seen Reyes lately? –Yes. –And? [1/10] #SciFiSat

–Doc, you wouldn't happen to have some microscope lenses lying around? –Mr. Reyes. I have plenty but they are not 'lying around'. Are well organised in very specific- –Great! I'd need... Wait, just check this list here. [1/12] #SciFiFri

–Hey Aldrich, when’s that asteroid going to return?-– Which one, Reyes? –The one designated… let’s see, OMG-WTF-BBQ-123. –Just for the record, that’s the last time we let Cadwell name _anything_. That one is however inbound in 84 hours and 47 minutes. [1/8] #SciFiFri

Our Icelandic/Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish #IAU project "Nordic Darkness Awareness", has been selected to proceed to Phase II! The committee describes our idea as "A great proposal. This is very important work!" among other things. Now we'll just have to impress them during the next round as well. ✨🔭

[1/3] Here we go again. Yours clumsy truly burned by boiling oil. No, I won't get into any details other than that I had to go to the local emergency room to have it looked at. As usually, the doctor asked about my profession and when I told him, he really wanted to talk to me about space.

This little monster is Sputnik. She's a small Testudo Horsfieldii. Her species were the first living Earth creatures to orbit the Moon as a part of the Soviet space program (the Zond 5 probe in 1968), along with some insect eggs and micro-organisms [1/3]

Guy asks me to correct a teeny tiny typo in my latest article because it's important to him that everything is spelled correctly on the internet. In the meantime his message was full of grammar and spelling errors. For some reason I didn't have the heart to tell him.

[1/6] Sometimes I'm lucky. Working on a project with a team leader that isn't me, I was instructed to used AI for some complicated calculations but the stupid AI got everything wrong so in the middle of the night I of course had to do it all by myself.

Riding the bus an hour ago, I saw something in the sky. First I thought it was an airplane but its smoke trail was strange and broken, and also the object moved far too fast and had a trajectory quite unusual for any of the ordinary plane routes around here. [1/3]

Today it's Midsummer's eve in Sweden. Most likely to have originated as a Norse celebration of the summer solstice, it has now evolved into a national holiday where many Swedes celebrate by eating pickled herring and singing about frogs (okay, not only those things). Happy midsummer, everyone! 🐸🇸🇪💐

Right. All of my neighbours thought that Monday night was a great time to engage in extremely loud prayer meetings and karaoke when I need to be working. The karaoke was short so I direct my anger to the religious people's prolongated terror.

So, another one of my articles for @popularastronomi.se made it to the front page! I'm deeply honoured! "Månen tur och retur" is by the way what the Tintin comic book "Destination Moon" is called in Swedish and my article is about Moon exploration and the #Artemis program.

Today I'm a little sad. Not in a bad way, though, but in the sense of how you may feel when something really good must come to an end. I held my last astronomy lecture for this semester and this group of students was among the best I've ever had. I'll miss them as well as our time together. ✨🪐🔭🚀✨
