I stumbled upon the Lake Merritt Puppet Society through a flyer at Urban Ore and quickly fell in love after filming ahead of their inaugural puppet parade. Really proud of this video. Spend some time with it and learn how they’re bringing Oakland together through puppetry youtu.be/5r2bjduLaL8?...

One of the slightly disappointing aspects of modern life is that by now we were supposed to be running space missions from commercial airports instead of bulldozing wetlands for launch facilities.

Gemini South’s laser system is creating a 5-star constellation 90 km up to fight its worst enemy: atmospheric turbulence. These "stars" let the telescope correct blurring in real-time. #astronomy 📸: International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/AURA/NSF/M. Paredes

A long-exposure night photograph of the Gemini South Telescope building sitting on a dark hilltop on Cerro Pachón against a glowing orange horizon. Above the observatory, thousands of star trails form concentric circular arcs swirling across the dark blue sky toward the upper left. A vibrant yellow laser beam extends vertically from the center of the illuminated telescope dome straight up into the starry sky. A winding road at the base of the hill shows streaks of bright yellow light from a moving vehicle.

Just as it is with a person, it's good for a country to figure out what it wants to be long term. That's how you end up with one country operating the world's largest radio telescope (FAST) while another wants to shut down one of the most capable and famous (Lovell).

On this day in 1928, Dr. Vera C. Rubin was born 🔭🧪 At 14, she built her first telescope out of a cardboard tube. Her work provided the first convincing evidence of dark matter, & scientists' quest to understand dark matter led to the idea that became NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory 🌌

It's #NationalCameraDay, and we've got a great one, built by SLAC National Accelerator Lab 😎 Meet NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's LSST Camera 📸 It captures an area of sky 45 times the size of the full Moon — that huge view is what'll enable Rubin to capture the entire visible sky every few nights!🔭🧪

View from below of Rubin's enormous cylindrical LSST Camera with lens cap off. The camera is installed in the telescope between the secondary and combined primary/tertiary mirror, and multiple reflections of the instruments are visible.
