Yeah, you’re supposed to be following NFPA 25 for this stuff. Some places don’t even make sure to open the control valves.

The diffraction spikes alone aren’t enough to identify the telescope. Mine produces 4 spikes and it’s certainly not Hubble.

The really nice thing about this is that the sun is much longer lived than any of these giant stars.

What camera? I have a 10” dob too but have been on the fence about trying planetary AP.

That’s very likely the case, captured moons are rare, most form near their planets.

Doesn’t need to be a real threat for there to be real violence against real people.

It sounds like it’s describing ion thrusters, which are real, just not useful in any atmosphere. NASA used this tech on the Dawn spacecraft.

I think Hy-Vee is only in the midwest, I lived near one in Illinois.

It’s people who are both of the groups from 5 and 6. It’s the aro/ace flag.

I’m sad about it because its closest approach is going to be on the other side of the earth from me, so I can’t see it.

They’re already cutting their space science budget. :(

I would start setting up my telescope. If they already like space stuff there’s a chance they’ll be interested in the actual science.

It’s a near-infrared image, they made it blue because you can’t see the color the camera takes the photo in.

I really want to do this with my scope some day. Although this time of year it’d be Jupiter or the moon.

Congress is supposed to as well, by removing the president. It’s not going to happen.

What I’m getting out of this is that I’ve seen more space stuff than the author of xkcd, and I think he worked for nasa.

It takes a lot of fuel to change the orbital inclination that much, much better to launch into the orbit then make minor adjustments.

It makes mine easier to fit through doors too.

Nice! I’m not really into astrophotography, but my pictures look about like yours from 2020.

That’s actually a great idea. This screen would work well for some arcade games as well I think.

It really is, I recently graduated college and watched engineering students struggle with what I would consider basic computer skills.
