This is a small thread on #PlanetaryScience and how certain old resources are retained - I fear - only on @archive.org. Even ADS seems to miss them. This thread is by all means no complete account. Technology is there to try and preserve, and make discoverable (again) such scholarly record.

David's blog and posts are always a joy to read.
President Reagan ordered NASA to augment/replace the Shuttle before the January 1986 Challenger accident. NASA proposed "Shuttle II" designs but Reagan didn't mean it. You know how that turned out. Anyway, here's my favorite Shuttle II design. spaceflighthistory.blogspot.com/2017/02/nasa...
That's very cool, It would be nice to know where those stationary sensors are, out there, in Germany.
Time request help from the crowd! One of the things I want to add to IndoorCO2map is Support for stationary CO2-Sensors which transmit continously (be it from stores, restaurants, museums etc. I have the technical side mostly done. Now I am looking into which devices are best suited for this
The Planetary Science Community Workshop (PSCW) will be April 14-16 in Louisville, KY. PSCW is targeted at professionals working in and around the field of planetary science. All topics of specific interest to planetary scientists are responsive. Registration and abstract submission are open!

The registration for the 2026 @planetarymapping.bsky.social Winter School is open: www.planetarymapping.eu One just needs a very affordable @europlanetmedia.bsky.social membership Materials will be of openly available after the school @coop.planetary-research.org @openplanetary.solarsystem.social

This is hopefully useful. It's half a decade of schools, almost completely based on Open Source software, that anyone can watch, experiment, and learn from. @europlanetmedia.bsky.social @openplanetary.solarsystem.social Plus, GitHub repos for several of those: github.com/europlanet-g...
Are you a student that wants to learn about geologic mapping of planetary bodies? If so, then checkout out the Geologic and Planetary Mapping winter school lectures on our #PlanetaryScience video server solarsystem.video. You will find almost 200 videos from 2021 to 2025, all with no ads!
In this time of continental dismantling of #PlanetaryScience, @openplanetary.solarsystem.social still exists, so @coop.planetary-research.org. Apart from a new Diamond OA Journal, there is also solarsystem.video. Soon to include @europlanetmedia.bsky.social 2021+ Winter School content.

To support Riccardo's wife and son in this unimaginably difficult time, his friends and colleagues at the University of Padova have set up a donation fund: www.europlanet.org/in-memory-of...
We are devastated by the news that Riccardo Pozzobon was involved in a tragic accident while on a research trip to the Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska, on 2 September 2025. There will be book of condolence at the main Europlanet stand at #EPSCDPS2025: www.europlanet.org/in-memory-of...
Not sure how many in #planetaryscience are here: Riccardo Pozzobon tragically passed away in Alaska. One can give a hand to his family: buonacausa.org/cause/riccar... Tributes/info: @europlanetmedia.bsky.social www.europlanet.org/in-memory-of... @esa.int blogs.esa.int/caves/2025/0...
Per la famiglia di Riccardo - Raccolta fondi su BuonaCausa.org
Il nostro caro amico e socio Riccardo Pozzobon era un geologo planetario e ricercatore del Dipartimento di Geoscienze dell’Università di Padova. Ha perso la vita durante una missione scientifica in Alaska sul ghiacciaio Mendenhall. Era noto a livello internazionale per le sue pubblicazioni e la sua…

I have followed for many years on the other platform @sarahkendzior.bsky.social back when her bio was like "recovering academic" (I think she recovered excellently), and her prose is just beautiful.

Dear @bahn.de This is a service relevant question: Why/how to fix such variance in indoor CO2 on your trains? Similar occupation %, similar hardware: One way is ~OK, the way back much worse (for details, please DM). #trainCO2 CC @aurel.indoorco2map.com (Old) Reference: x.com/arosp/status...

What happens to federal institutes in the US. i.e. implementing some sort of "disrupt everything" - with more or less revenge embedded - to all kinds of civil servants, grant recipients, folks on soft money (but tenured are probably not safe) might be inelastic.
One has to say that #tinitaly from @ingv-press.bsky.social is a real beauty (so is the geology beneath...)
