Well, bed time for Astropotamus. Didn't think about the Timing and the Maple Tree.* Got *A. Rex* dialed in pretty good but I cannot compete with a fully mature maple tree and all its leaves. Good luck to anyone else still trying! 🌛🚀🔭🦛 *This will be the name of my first solo album.
Astropotamus Rex has started to take pics of the Moon for the first time ever. I should have practiced before tonight. Time to dial this in.
I just got an illustration assignment! It's not sci-fi or space but it is fantasy, which works just fine too! Just in time for my hand to have healed enough too! 🥳

We’re less than a month from NASA launching the newest space-based observatory: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. With a field-of-view 100x greater than Hubble’s, it will be able to survey our universe and investigate exoplanets and dark energy better than ever before.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage is expected to slam into the Moon at ~2:35am Eastern on Wednesday, August 5. It should hit near the lunar limb, potentially producing a brief flash and a plume of dust and debris. I'll be trying to capture it with the Astropotamus Rex 14" ACF and an ASI432 camera. 🌗🚀🔭🦛

A discarded SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket upper stage is projected to unintentionally crash into the moon on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at approximately 5,400 mph (8,700 km/h). You won't see the rocket stage, but a big scope might let you see the dust plume! 🌓🔭🦛
As a recreational diver, I've often wondered if there are any "Earthbound space tourist" opportunities to dive to space junk at the bottom of the oceans.
Dr Space Junk (Alice Gorman)@drspacejunk.bsky.social · 5d agoEarth and space are no longer separate domains. Space junk should be managed as a more-than-planetary interconnected system extending from the spacecraft cemetery at the bottom of the ocean, through the atmosphere, to all Earth and lunar orbits. 🧪 🔭 #SpaceJunk

Nichelle Nichols left us on this date four years ago. The television trailblazer was 89.
Sure, having Betelgeuse have a companion solves the "six year riddle" but it likely won't, as this article suggests, have any impact on the fate of the star itself. I find statements like that to be indicators that the author is just looking to pad a word count. ☀️🔭🦛
New telescope images provide best evidence yet that the bright red star Betelgeuse is actually 2 stars in disguise
A century-old mystery about the night sky's famous "shoulder star" may finally be solved, as astronomers capture the sharpest image yet of a small star tucked close beside the dying Betelgeuse.

It's the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 15 mission to the Moon!(July 26 – August 7, 1971). This is the video taken of the ascent vehicle leaving the Moon, from a camera placed on the rover parked a distance away. The rover is heritage-listed in the state of Washington. 🧪 🏺

Our Icelandic/Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish #IAU project "Nordic Darkness Awareness", has been selected to proceed to Phase II! The committee describes our idea as "A great proposal. This is very important work!" among other things. Now we'll just have to impress them during the next round as well. ✨🔭
