LOVE THIS so much!! Where did you find the red jumpsuit? I've been looking around to try and find one for myself but I'm having trouble nailing down something that looks right. (Unfortunately I am not good at sewing or I would just do that haha.)

All three of us in my household have this "problem", which I put very loosely in quotation marks, because it's usually not *our* problem and more due to someone else being asininely awful. I can't help it! Being quiet is so much worse than getting in trouble!

Also from SK here. I keep hearing from folks that animals always seem to wait until a storm. In your experience is this just a weird coincidence thing, or do they seem to genuinely ... somehow wait until then? Granted, I know this time of year is fickle with snow and it is baby season.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

A bit of a different take on the amazing Artemis II launch footage. Here I stitched clips from the four Solar Array Wing Cameras to make this panoramic video. This is during the later part of the Core Stage burn until MECO and stage separation, sped up to 10x. 🔭🧪 #Artemis

Charon and the Moon look similar for similar reasons! Ancient surfaces (pockmarked and gray) that show geologic evidence for a semi-global volcanism event that happened after the heaviest part of impact history, and filled lowland areas with smooth plains -- liquid rock for the Moon, water on Charon

It’s easy to just focus on the things on the spacecraft that have given us trouble, but there are a lot of things for us to be happy about, based on these early results. Deeper dives into the data could always reveal issues, but here are a few things that have been good to see…

The Vegreville Pysanka, or Ukrainian Easter Egg, isn't just a very famous roadside attraction, it is a true marvel. It influenced the design of the Space Shuttle. It was a notable first in computer modelling. Oh, and it is also a weather vane! This is its story. 🧵 1/8

The egg is covered in a geometric pattern of triangles and star shapes in black, white, and shades of yellow and gold. The man wears sunglasses and a grey T-shirt, looking up toward the sculpture. In the background are trees, parked vehicles, a small building, and a flagpole under a lightly clouded sky.

that faint thin line, so tiny relative to the rest of the Earth. That's everything, right. That's everything we got. And that's it.

Like everyone else, I am in awe of Reis Wiseman's image of Earth. Personally, what I love most is it highlights the critical forces at play that protect us so much. The thinness of the atmosphere on the left, the aurora at the poles.... our fragile atmosphere and magnetic field. Without them....

Very mediocre imager here (probably bordering on aphan), but my music/sound recall is so good it's how I have perfect pitch. I can just ... recall what, say, an F or a C sounds like on a piano. Learned recently that perfect pitch is not uncommon alongside neurodivergence, so that's neat!

That angle is always so interesting to me, as my area in Canada has, as far I understand it, never done DST. We've lived the time schedule folks are concerned about for years. The only time it affects us is when DST kicks in for everyone else and our external vendors suddenly move meeting times!

I see "influential songs" is trending, so I have to give a shout out to one of the most popular samples of all time, because it's from my favorite piece of music of all time, Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. Specifically the opening shock chord from The Infernal Dance. laughingsquid.com/the-orchestr...

The Famous Music Sample That Originated From a 1910 Stravinsky Orchestral Composition

Synthet looked at the "Orchestra Hit", a famous staccato sample that came from Igor Stravinsky's 1910 composition "The Firebird Suite".

As someone who grew up in the age of saving money to buy a record, spending hours re-reading liner notes, marveling at album art... This is fantastic. It also spits in the face of artist abusers like Spotify. Long live the album. And I'm hoping the kids also learn the joys of live local music.
