Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Milky Way from the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro (Bortle 1) in Tanzania, Africa. Taken last week with iPhone (10 sec exp). It was amazing to experience the night sky with no Polaris but southern cross being prominent in the sky; also Scorpius and Orion getting close to zenith. 🔭🧪

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

The historic first Earthrise photo from the Moon was received 60 years ago today. It was shot on film, developed onboard the Lunar Orbiter 1 spacecraft, scanned, transmitted home...and then meticulously restored decades later. 🧪🔭 www.lpi.usra.edu/features/lun...
On August 23, 1966, Lunar Orbiter 1 took the first photo of Earth as seen from lunar orbit. While a remarkable image at the time, the full resolution of the image was never retrieved from the data stored from the mission. In 2008, this earthrise image was restored by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project at NASA Ames Research Center. They obtained the original data tapes from the mission (the last surviving set) and restored original FR-900 tape drives to operational condition using both 60s era parts and modern electronics.

The Voyagers are amongst the very few things bring me to literal tears of joy. The scientific curiosity that drove their creation, the practical engineering genius that built and sustains them still, the optimism of the Golden Record … to me, these all exemplify the best of humanity.

I‘m far from an AI doomer, but it is amazing how many serious voices — on LinkedIn, no less! — are sharing stories about how AI slop is quickly becoming one of the top problems they see in academic writing and research “AI will 10x our research!” doesn’t seem to be surviving encounters with reality

With all the rain we are getting this Summer, there are so many different kinds of mushrooms in my backyard. Everything from small orange slime balls to large black caps that are almost as big as dinner plates. I don’t know enough about mushrooms to forage safely but, someday I’ll get trained.

Over the last 2+ weeks, there was only one clear night when I was traveling and away from home. The forecast for this upcoming week is looking bleak for astronomy. At this rate, I’m afraid that I am going to forget how to use my astronomy equipment.
