I spoke with astronomer Samantha Lawler - @sundogplanets - about how Elon Musk has proposed to burn up in the sky one truck-sized satellite *per hour*. Unclear what that will do to the atmosphere, but it's not good.

It occurred to me I can just AI it
So neat! I got to watch my dog birth 9 puppies and it was amazing. And gross
is it available somewhere?
One year ...
That was my exact thought. These people …
This is a very cool cake!
Alex Fillepenko uses balls on a piece of elastic. I upgraded to making them galaxies on some card board threaded onto the elastic. I ask students to stare at a galaxy while I stretch and do it again with a different galaxy
someone left their AirPods!
Why the pacific? Not as deep and cold?
I was thinking it would be impressive to change in such a small space.
Oh! LOL. I had assumed the astronauts had changed. Hah!
Does the practice pool have a wave generator I wonder?
Omg. Good point but can’t the recovery ship include a cell tower? For next time

I was wondering if someone could just call in the iPhone. No surprise with Microsoft. Sigh
Can someone explain the need to take care before recovery? I assume heat and shock danger
I want to do this in Flagstaff as a retirement side gig
There is a revenue stream making it an Astro themed vrbo
Totality for a whole hour!!

This makes total sense. I am only allowed Nutella when I go snow skiing.
I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.
It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.
It is a multiple system and (Easter egg) is the Vulcan home world according to Roddenberry.
Or say you don’t even look at the Chinese
Screenshot of a portion of an article from pcmag.com University of Regina astronomy professor Samantha Lawler also noted that existing Starlink satellites still remain bright enough to interfere with telescopes. In a post on Mastodon, she was also doubtful SpaceX could prevent the orbiting data center satellites from producing light pollution since they'll likely feature even larger solar panels. SpaceX says it'll "coordinate with federal agencies to study atmospheric effects of reentries and in the next the fuckweasels vehemently deny that environmental laws apply to them at all," she added in her posts.
Lord I miss astrotwitter on days like this
