Hi everyone.

Nice. 🙂

Which one?

Wow, can S30 capture this with this much detail?

What do you prefer?
S30 or S50

This celestial image captured by NASA astronaut Don Pettit using a camera with low light and long duration settings pointed out a window on the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft shows the Milky Way beyond Earth's horizon crowned by an atmospheric glow. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are also distinguishable as the International Space Station orbited 257 miles above the Pacific Ocean.

Microsoft has a new quantum computer - but does it actually work? Researchers at Microsoft say they have created so-called topological qubits, which would be exceptionally resistant to errors, but their claim has been met with scepticism

That's good news.

Yay! The asteroid 2024 YR4 appears to be even more unlikely to hit us. The y-axis is the time of closest approach, and x is when an estimate of its TCA was made. As of 2/20, the asteroid should pass us at 09:00 ±2ish hours, missing Earth (it has to pass us at 14:00 to hit).

Rare genetic disorder treated in womb for the first time The child, who is now almost three years old, shows no signs of the often fatal motor neuron disease.

That's not true. The Taurus Molecular Cloud is 140 parsecs away (about 430 light-years), not 140 light-years. So Rho Ophiuchi is indeed the closest star-forming region to Earth.

Can't believe it's been almost two years since the Webb Space Telescope captured this, it feels like it was just yesterday.

Wow, this is a great news.

Thutmose II: First pharaoh's tomb found in Egypt since Tutankhamun's It is the first royal tomb to be found since King Tutankhaman's over a century ago.

Glaciers in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska. This image, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission on 6 October 2017, shows the melting Scott (left), Sheridan (middle) and Childs (right) glaciers feeding lakes and rivers in their forefields.

🌍🛰️ Almost 40% of glaciers in Central Europe were lost between 2000 and 2023.

A new study, using data from various satellite observations -including our CryoSat mission- reveals alarming insights about the declining rate of glaciers.

Now it has increased to 3.1%

An UltraFex solar array, one of two cymbal-shaped solar arrays on the Northrop Grumman Cygnus space freighter, is pictured in the foreground as the International Space Station orbited 261 miles above the 214 million-year-old Manicouagan crater in Quebec, Canada.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.

Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Next month will see two eclipses:

14th March- Partial Lunar Eclipse.
29th March- Partial Solar Eclipse.

Visible from the UK and the rest of Europe.

Think in 3D.

Yeah, i was thinking the same. Cis-trans stereoisomers.

There are also trans and cis stereoisomers in chemistry.

Sending you the love David. Be safe and healthy.
