Phew! Thanks to new data from ESO's Very Large #Telescope, we now know that a white dwarf that was set for a close encounter with our Solar System in 29000 years isn't actually headed our way. Turns out that the intense magnetic field of the #star had biased the previous measurements of the approach speed. You're welcome everyone! 😉

We tell you everything in our latest ESO #blog: https://www.eso.org/public/blog/rogue-star/

If you were stargazing on Mars, you could watch the dance of the Earth & Moon in your evening sky. ESA's Mars Express just made a little sped-up movie of what you'd see.

Galactic collisions result in a billion-year gravitational dance, as shown in this captivating supercomputer simulation. The simulation depicts the collision of two spiral galaxies and is complemented by actual images of galactic collisions at various stages captured by Hubble.

Hello People Making Games! Just moved myself over from another instance, so I figure that warrants an #introduction

Hi! I'm Chase! I'm a web developer that dabbles in making games!
I've had a lot of fun playing around with #Pico8, and lately I've started a new project in #Godot (see attached gif). I made a couple wordle clones -- https://lingule.xyz/ (for langages) and https://novle.xyz/ (for books)

I'm also into #linguistics #space and #dinosaurs but don't know nearly enough about them to be interesting 🙃

I'll try to post game dev related stuff, but honestly I'll mostly probably talk about my kids' wacky antics.

Was the SpaceX Starship’s launch a failure or a success?

Ars Technica says "For those who know a bit more about the launch industry and the iterative design methodology, getting the Super Heavy rocket and Starship upper stage off the launch pad was a huge success." The company's development process is messier, but it's also much faster, says author Eric Berger.

45-year old #Voyager1 started sending garbled messages in May, but #NASA engineers were able to determine and employ a fix. We are again receiving data from interstellar space (14.8B miles away!)

The NASA engineers are amazing.

NASA gets Voyager 1 talking again — and discovers a new mystery

14.6 billion miles from one another, NASA engineers have found and fixed a computer glitch that had caused Voyager 1 to transmit garbled telemetry data since May.

So apparently scientists have found a dwarf planet way out past Pluto (they've called it Quaoar) that has rings! What's even cooler, these rings are far away from Quaoar, way past the Roche limit (the limit past which we didn't think rings could be maintained as rings instead of coalescing into a moon).

This is amazing. NASA commissioned a microgravity compatible espresso machine for the International Space Station (to make ISSpresso, obviously), and to stop the astronaut having to drink espresso from a closed container with a straw, a bunch of NASA volunteers designed the Space Cup, so the crema bubbles could be seen and the coffee smelled even in microgravity. And I've just been sent one in the post. That's Samantha Cristoforetti drinking from it in the ISS cupola. #ISS #Space #Coffee

My daughter asked me, "Have we ever seen a star being born?" Here's part of the answer.
Deep within interstellar cloud CB 130-3, a dense knot of gas and dust teeters on the edge of collapse. When it goes, it will become a new star.
