Nancy Grace Roman was paid 60% of her male colleague's wages. 'the Nobel prize-winning physicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar ... told her: “We don’t discriminate against women. We can just get them for less.”' #WomenInSTEM 🧪 🔭

Just throwing this out there, before International Observe the Moon night in September. You know how the full #Moon is so very bright? My cards have a tiny hole in the middle to cut out the glare and allow you to see surface features in greater clarity. Visit shopwavytail.com for yours. #astronomy

Background is a bright full Moon behind a tree silhouette. In the foreground is shown each side of a credit card size viewing device.

Here is a very handsome Greater Arid-Land Katydid that was creeping up the wall of our house this morning. It was HUGE. #insects

A large six legged bright green insect. Apparently a kind of cricket. The wings look too small for flight; maybe it makes long hops?

An ocean of stars. This is one of the first images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's ten-year-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time! The image covers a region of space about 3°, six times the width of a full Moon—only a tiny portion of the gigantic survey Rubin has embarked upon. Open it up!

🚨 Beyond the limit 🚨 New ESO study finds that current proposals to launch 1.7+ million satellites into orbit would have devastating consequences for astronomy. The most extreme proposals come from SpaceX & Reflect Orbital 🔭 🧪 ☄️ #DarkSkies #SatelliteConstellations 1/4

Credit: F. Kamphues, ESO/M. Kornmesser. The background of this image shows a starry sky, including the bright lane of the Milky Way. Hundreds of bright streaks cross the sky in different directions, as if scratching the background natural sky behind it. The bottom of the image is occupied by the dark silhouette of a mountainous desert landscape. Atop the mountain at the centre, is a small, distant metallic dome and yellow-orange lasers shine behind it.

Being back in Paris meant another chance to visit the Réserves of the @museeartsetmetiers.bsky.social in St Denis. This time I was able to take a microscope to document this astrolabe - thought to be (at least partly) from the workshop of Regiomontanus.

Those of you with a Netflix subscription who enjoy #sci-fi should go find the film "Nope". Watched it last night and it was excellently refreshing; quite different from the usual examples of the genre. I spent most of the first half wondering where the heck it was going, and enjoying the ride :-)

Important info to know about the SAVE America Act. It addresses a problem that is non existent. The only part of this bill I agree with is that you have to show your ID when you vote and as far as I know we all have to do this already. It is voter suppression. bipartisanpolicy.org/article/five...

These cornhole boards were made by my husband and painted by me. And then it took me ages to figure out how to lacquer them and actually do it, but today the legs were fitted back on so now they’re Done! And we will have the best most colorful games of cornhole in existence.

The Moon, Jupiter and Venus all in a line this morning. I overexposed the crap out of the moon (grabbed this shot mid-workout so didn’t have a ton of time to play) but the terminator looks cool today. Look at all those craters!

Jupiter and Venus (brighter one) were looking fantastic this morning. They were so close together - less than a Moon diameter, they both fit in the view of my #Hestia. You can see the moons of Jupiter as that diagonal line of dots running through it. #planets #astrophotography

Happy Sturgeon Moon! Remember to reset your lunar clocks today. Here’s a couple of photos; the Full Moon just before it set this morning, and if you look to the east you can see Venus and Jupiter close together and bright.

REALITY CHECK: Texas Democrats earn 45% of the vote—but under the GOP’s new gerrymandered map, they’d get just 21% of the seats. That’s not representation. That’s rigging the system. #MessWithTexas
