But that's a wholehost of different issues: the stuff doesn't just disappear on de-orbit, it goes into atmosphere or the sea ☹️
Safe travels! Hit them with some hard facts 🔭
Amazing snap 🤩
Also: satellites pollute imaging from LEO space telescopes (and there's only so many space telescopes you can send to L2)
It's impressive how clueless British commentators are about ski jumping ⛷️
Where's this from?
📣The open letter from early-career researchers across STFC has now been formally sent to its intended recipients.📨
We need a change in strategy to protect people, projects, and the future of UK fundamental research. 🧪🔭📡🛰️⚗️

This is so cool! 🤩
Featuring Cyrielle Opitom, who's been leading our 3I/ATLAS observing campaign with several instruments on the mighty VLT
This is _so_ important. Slightly disturbing they have no idea what the career landscape is for ECRs.
It was totally boring for me until I was about 16 and learned better. Astronomy seemed like pseudoscience back then as well, and yet here we are now 🤷♀️
Ah, the annual quest to figure out the pronunciation of poems in Scots 🏴
My brain on the first glance: "Rendezvous with Apotato" 🛰 🥔
This is such a cool visual, is it published outside Bsky?
🔭🛰
Hey, so that was a fun thing to do 🙂
Kids in Scotland got The Book of Blast Off in Bookbug Bags, and it's so cool to see comet science represented with Rosetta and Philae! ☄️🛰

It's tiiiiiiiiiiime 🎄
A screen in a dark lecture theater with "Glasgow Science Centre" beamed on the screen next to a title slide of a talk about Planetary Defence in Action
I did a thing today! Thanks @glasgowscience.bsky.social for having me over to talk to teenagers about becoming an astronomer and planetary defense! 🪨🔭🚀
Not the scientifically accurate depiction of black hole 👀🔭
Happy birthday! 🎂
There exist coordinated efforts to secure time for LSST follow-up at major observatories. A spacecraft to intercept new interesting things is a thing.
Bah! LSST Solar System Science Collaboration even has a Technosignatures Think Tank. There are so many things that are a thing that AL disregards.
Just going to say that it is hurtful when a systematic study effort by the global small-body community, with many of the campaigns led by women, with results being pushed to free open-source arXiv & data repos for scicomm as quickly as possible, is described as lacking coordination/communication
I'll for global coordination for ISO follow-up, but it's telling that no one who's actually coordinating follow-up was actually asked to participate in this proposal or thought of to be even suggested as names on committees in this proposal
I’ve been lucky but I’m unusual. Many friends followed the standard advice, only to find that tenure came too late for their biological clock. Others broke under the pressure of trying to balance it all, reluctantly leaving academia for more family friendly careers. 7/9🧵
Nah, the latest as of yesterday is that he claims the "Wow!" signal came from 3I...
But do they emit the "Wow!" signal though
