About the #azbudget. I want you to harness what you are feeling about the budget and what you call @GovernorHobbs "abdication" of her pledge to cap #ESA and funnel that into action.

She does not have the votes in the House or Senate to limit ESAs.
Do you think Gov Hobbs wants to continue this wasteful program that sucks the lifeblood out of our public schools?

Ok, then we need to flip the leg. Period. There is no higher calling in Arizona then flipping the leg.

That starts now. We need to start recruiting candidates.
If you are upset & want to run, you need to visit your local Legislative District meeting introduce yourself and talk to the appropriate person. If they are freezing you out get in touch with me & I will remove that roadblock.

LDs need to start having single-shot conversations

C’est donc aujourd’hui que la NASA annonce les membres de l’équipage de la mission Artemis II !! Direction la Lune en novembre 2024😎😮. Mon petit doigt me souffle déjà certains noms 🤫😉 mais verdict à 17h... #NASA #ArtemisII @NASAArtemis @nasa
Pour rappel: l'objectif d’#ArtemisII est de tester sous toutes ses coutures le vaisseau #Orion, pour préparer la 3e mission du programme, qui elle se posera sur la Lune. Pas d'astronaute #ESA sur ce vol, mais on devrait en voir 3 lors des 4 prochains vols… suspense ! 🙋🏻‍♂️🤫😉😅…
👏👏Bravo à @Astro_Christina, @Astro_Jeremy , @AstroVicGlover et @astro_reid !!!! Ils s’envoleront fin 2024 vers notre satellite naturel, les premiers depuis Apollo 17, il y 50 ans! Tellement content pour eux et difficile d’imaginer une meilleure équipe ! #ArtemisII @NASAArtemis

I've recently renewed an observing campaign on #TIANWEN1. The orbit hasn't changed so an aerobrake test claimed for late 2022 has not occurred yet. In preparation for observing an aerobraking manoeuvre I thought it would be interesting to study past missions that did one. 🧵⬇️ By NASA/JPL/Corby Waste - https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multi
First a bit a reference of why we believe #TIANWEN1 will conduct an aerobraking test. This all relates to the #TIANWEN3 Mars sample return mission.
spacenews.com/china-aims-to-…
Aerobraking is used to allow a spacecraft to lower its apopasis by using a planet's atmosphere to decelerate the spacecraft as it passes through the tenuous upper atmosphere of the planet at periapsis at just the right altitude as not to cook the spacecraft and max. drag. ⬇️

The massive spending bill Congress is pushing though, hides their pet amendments or "riders". This is what Sen. Tester D-MT did 2 wolves in the N. Rockies. He slipped a wolf delisting rider into a budget bill just like this one, dooming wolves to endless suffering and cruelty.
Sen. Tester D-MT delisted wolves 4 votes. He was in a tough re-election bid. They both wanted 2 score points with the hunting & ranching crowd since wolves had been placed back on the ##ESA after being delisted by the Obama Admin. in 2009. He betrayed his base 2 get re-elected.
And Tester is still a Senator in a very red state because he sucks up to the ranchers and hunters. Nice huh.

1/ A digestible thread on gravitational lensing, the phenomenon which allowed us to see these funky, most distant galaxies yet in the JWST deep field image. Image
2/ Rays of light from a distant star or a galaxy can be bent by the gravity of a massive object, such as another galaxy or a galaxy cluster, as the latter warps the fabric of space.

🖼️#NASA/#ESA Image
3/ From our vantage point, the galaxy or galaxy cluster acts as a powerful magnifying glass that distorts and amplifies the light from distant objects behind it.

Pretty amazing, right?

जेम्स वेब टेलिस्कोपने प्रतिमांचा पहिला सेट प्रसिद्ध केला आणि जगभर उत्साहाची लाट आलीय. या निमित्ताने जेम्स वेब टेलिस्कोप विषयी मराठीमध्ये थोडक्यात माहिती देण्याचा प्रयत्न या थ्रेडमध्ये करते आहे.
#JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #JWTInMarathi
जेम्स वेब टेलिस्कोप ही जगातील आतापर्यंतची सर्वात मोठी, सर्वात शक्तिशाली आणि आजतोवर तयार केलेल्या अवकाशीय दुर्बिणींमध्ये सर्वात कॉम्प्लेक्स ठरलेली इन्फ्रारेड स्पेस ऑब्झर्व्हेटरी आहे.
#JamesWebbSpaceTelescope
#JWTInMarathi
१९९६ मध्ये या दुर्बिणीचं काम सुरु झालं तेव्हा तिला 'नेक्स्ट जनरेशन स्पेस टेलिस्कोप' असं संबोधण्यात आलं. पण नंतर २००२ मध्ये नासाचे दुसरे प्रशासक म्हणून नियुक्त झालेल्या 'जेम्स वेब' यांच्या स्मरणार्थ या दुर्बिणीला 'जेम्स वेब टेलिस्कोप' हे नाव द्यायचं ठरलं.

Earlier this week, a federal court in California threw out several #EndangeredSpeciesAct (ESA) rules adopted during the Trump administration in a blow to both conservation and the rule of law. 🧵
One of the rules required regulations to be tailored to the needs of threatened species, which face relatively remote risks, rather than subjecting them to the across-the-board regulations Congress designed for endangered species.
Under this rule, regulatory restrictions relax as species recover which encourages private landowners to conserve habitat and rewards successful recovery efforts.

🙅‍♂️"Pas de retombée" ... ça dépend de l'orbite.
La plus encombrée est l'orbite basse. À cette altitude, les objets vont effectivement très vite. Cependant, ils subissent une trainée due à des résidus d'atmosphère, ce qui le fait tomber.

#espace #débris #étoilefilante
☝️En orbite géostationnaire (~36 000 km | en rouge ci-dessous), il y a beaucoup plus de place, même si on ne survole que l'équateur pour des raisons de pointage fixe.

#espace #Satellites #GEO
🐳Les représentations montrant les débris sont pour la plupart fausses, puisque pour les voir, les débris sont énormément grossi (plusieurs km chacun).

0/16 Just like the real #NASA Webb Telescope, I’m so big that I have to fold up to fit in my #rocket for launch and then unfold in #space. Follow this thread to see each step of my deployment throughout the coming days. bit.ly/LEGOJWST Image
1/16 Not long after I launch 🚀 into space, I need to deploy my solar array to keep the power flowing. My solar array folds flat, just like the real thing! bit.ly/LEGOJWST #solarpower
2/16 📡 Next I release my medium- and high-gain antennae so that I can #communicate better and send data to you. My antennae are gimbaled, allowing me to aim them directly at #Earth! 🌍 bit.ly/LEGOJWST

While the deadline for this year's opportunity to apply for #ESA student sponsorship for the #IAC passed a week ago, I'd like to share my overwhelmingly positive experience of the program from 2016, so that you can decide to apply next year if possible! ⬇️
I was finishing my MSc. in early 2016 and I was active in space outreach - organizing seminars, writing popular science articles for mags such as @Vesmir1871 (CZ) or @clarkesworld (EN) and trying out space workshops for kids, and I had ideas to put in an abstract for #IAC2016.
I learned about the ESA sponsorship opportunity covering the conference fee, accommodation & travel cost and was excited! I submitted my abstract to the outreach session of IAC and applied for the program, outlining my reasons for wishing to attend + shooting a short video.

El espacio: la última frontera.
Éste es el hilo de los viajeros (y viajeras) que han traspasado esa frontera en una aventura dedicada a la exploración hasta alcanzar lugares donde nadie había podido llegar. #Cosmonauts #Astronauts
Va a ser un hilo muy largo...
Поехали!
Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968). Primer hombre en el espacio y en órbita. El Vostok 1 fue lanzado el 12 de Abril de 1961 y completó una órbita (108 minutos). El abrió el camino con el nombre clave "Кедр" (Cedro).
Alan Shepard (1923-1998). Primer norteamericano en el espacio con el Mercury-Redstone 3 en un vuelo suborbital el 5 de Mayo de 1961. Su cápsula Freedom 7 alcanzó los 190 km de altura y su vuelo duró 15 minutos.

.@NASAHubble telescope captured a stunning photo of the distant spiral galaxy named 'Eye of the Serpent'

#NASA @NASA #ESA @esa ImageImageImage
A spiral galaxy nicknamed "Eye of the Serpent" is 35 million light-years from #Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope recently snapped a photo of the #galaxy, which is about half the width of the #MilkyWay and has a supermassive black hole at its center.

@NASA @NASAHubble @esa
Its distinct arms, where stars and gas are compressed, create the illusion of an eye — which is why astronomers call it the "Eye of the Serpent."

.@NASA confirms that the dent in #Earth’s protective shield is splitting into two as it gets bigger - by @pabsgill

businessinsider.in/science/space/…
The bigger the anomaly gets the wider its sphere of influence. A weak magnetic field means that the particle radiation from the #Sun gets closer to the #Earth’s surface than otherwise.
In addition to messing with compasses and throwing bird navigation off, this means it can also knock out onboard computers and interfere with satellites on their rounds to collect data.

One of the questions that I was asked at my @esa interview was 'who is your favourite astronaut?' This was both an AWESOME but difficult question. Of course I am biased (as a Brit) but it's definitely between @astro_timpeake and @HelenSharmanUK!

@AstroRickman #ESA
The first British-born astronaut @HelenSharmanUK is also a @sheffielduni graduate (which is where I did my undergrad degree). I had the pleasure of meeting Helen at a cocktail party in Geneva a couple of years ago! Image
And I also had the pleasure of meeting @astro_timpeake (coincidentally also in sheffield).

Tim Peake was the first @esa British astronaut. He spent 6 months aboard the ISS on a mission called Principia.

For @People_Of_Space followers who don't know me! My @pillownaut handle is a reference to spaceflight simulations at Johnson Space Center. In #NASA quarantine, one of the few comforts flight analogs can have during simulations is a comfy pillow, LOL...! #PillownautTale
I did a 70+ day Micro-Gravity Study (where I spent 54 days at a head-down tilt) and a 21-day Lunar Gravity study -- both intended to give #NASA data on how to keep astronauts more healthy by developing countermeasures to weightlessness. #PillownautTale
When humans leave the Earth gravity under which we evolved, we suffer heart enlargement, muscle atrophy, bone de-mineralization, plasma volume drops, vestibular disturbance (loss of balance), & other superfun things that could spell death on Mars. #PillownautTale (Credit NOVA au)

[Thread] Suite à un tweet de @Benazdia sur Stuffin.space, j'ai décidé de faire un petit thread sur les éléments intéressants à regarder dessus ! J'espère que cela vous plaira :)
1) Déjà ... Stuffin.space ? Kesako ? Et bien, c'est une mine d'or ! C'est un site qui vous montre tous les objets catalogués par Space-Track.Org qui est un site géré par ... l'USAirForce !
2) Et oui, il faut savoir que ces chers américains contrôlent le ciel depuis des années et répertorient l'ensemble des satellites/débris/lanceurs dans le ciel !

Today we'd like to share some fun facts about #Mars and our discoveries so far with #ESA Mars Express & @ESA_TGO. But first let's take a look at the @esa @NASA @isro @roscosmos spacecraft currently investigating the Red Planet:
📷Hi-res: esa.int/spaceinimages/… #ExploreFarther
@ESA_TGO @esa @NASA @isro @roscosmos Did you know there is a telecommunications network at #Mars? Orbiters relay commands and send #science data from landers & rovers back to #Earth. Our #ExoMars @ESA_TGO is a key provider of data relay services!🔴〰️🛰〰️🌍 #ExploreFarther
📷Hi-res: esa.int/spaceinimages/…
@ESA_TGO @esa @NASA @isro @roscosmos Did you know that you can find out what the #weather is on #Mars? Landers & rovers report the local weather while orbiters keep an eye on global atmosphere developments including cloud formations and dust storms☁️🌪
