How can an ordinary clam (well, actually more than 1,600 of these shells) reveal what the fjords on Svalbard looked like thousands of years ago? 🧵👇

I like glaciers, polar regions, dinosaurs, F1 and space exploration! PhD student (early Holocene paleoecology on Svalbard). Happy to work in @veda24.bsky.social and @cpecz.bsky.social
Just wow. What a beautiful picture! Thanks crew of Artemis II!
I still can't believe this. WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON! Finally, after so many years... What a time to be alive 🥹. GO Artemis II!
Take a look at these whale remains. They belong to a creature that once got stranded on a beach and couldn’t make it back to the sea. Except this beach is now several hundred meters inland and dozens of meters above sea level. How is that possible? And why does it matter? New paper alert! 🙂 👇 🧵
If you’re less than 25 years old, you never experienced a situation in which all the people was present on the Earth at any time! Since today 25 tears ago the Expedition 1 in the International Space Station began! What a feat for the whole humankind 🥰. 🚀🧑🚀
New book out soon! 📖 (Unfortunately only in Czech) Planet of Melting Ice by Zdeněk Zvonek brings together 19 interviews with scientists from all sorts of fields — from biology to geology to social science — all united by one thing: their work in the polar regions. 🧊 👇🧵
Super interesting story about the new interstellar object - 3I/ATLAS 👇.
Jonathan O'Callaghan@astrojonny.bsky.social · last yr.One of my favourite stories I’ve written this year. A third known interstellar object is flying through our solar system right now. What are the 7 biggest questions we want to answer about it? Story by me in @sciam.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...
Not only the Prague planetarium have the most modern LED projection in the world. They also do have these awesome mirrors on toilets! How cool is that?! 😍
This is an awesome accomplishment by our former student! So happy for him 🥹. @esa.int
Centre for Polar Ecology@cpecz.bsky.social · last yr.The search for life on Mars. That’s the main mission of Lucas Fernandez, a graduate of the Faculty of Science at the University of South Bohemia. 🧵👇
What a joke. If Trump really wanted America First then he wouldn't have proposed absolutely massacring NASA's budget. It's all bullshit.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · last yr.If the pattern continues, it’ll be someone with no space or even science experience.
May the 4th be with you! (Mimas, moon of Saturn, Voyager 1, 1980)
Happy B-Day Hubble! #OTD 35 years ago Hubble launched onboard space shuttle Discovery STS-30. Keep those pictures coming ❤️🔭.
I can’t fucking comment on this. Every last one of them, every Russian must be destroyed.
Cool pictures of Luca Parmitano during the training in Orion mockup with his NASA collegaues. They were practicing recovery procedures for the Artemis II astronauts for next year. It is nice to see the @esa.int patch on Orion space suit! I guess Luca is first in the line for ESA Artemis seat. 🚀
Hello Crew-11! 👋 I am so happy for Zena Cardman. After getting bumped from Crew-9 she is finally going! And again as a commander. Polar scientists turned astronauts are the best!
🥹 good bye dear Gaia! You were the best. Feel for you @janamulacova.bsky.social
ESA Operations@operations.esa.int · last yr.Goodbye, Gaia.
China is starting to be serious space explorer. Meanwhile NASA could loose 50% of its science budget (planetary exploration included). What about Europe? We should throttle up!!
Andrew Jones@andrewjonesspace.bsky.social · last yr.China has a planetary exploration roadmap focused on extraterrestrial life: 2028: Tianwen-3 Mars sample return 2029: Tianwen-4 to Jupiter and Callisto 2033: Venus atmospheric sample return 2038: Mars Research Station for ISRU 2039: Probe to Neptune and Triton (DSEL/CNSA)
Have you ever seen something like this?! 🤯
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last yr.American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
Very cool paper from my dear friend Jeník! Check it 👇.
Centre for Polar Ecology@cpecz.bsky.social · last yr.We are stoked to present a brand-new @natclimchange.bsky.social paper by our Jan Kavan! ❤️ Did you know that between 2000 and 2020, retreat of marine-terminating glaciers has exposed more than 2,400 km of new coastline in the Arctic? 🧵👇
Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?
Just how cool is that? Sun eclipse from the Moon! By Blue Ghost lander @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social.
😭
Jonathan O'Callaghan@astrojonny.bsky.social · last yr.NASA is facing enormous cuts, half of its science budget, under DOGE. The impacts on the agency could be devastating, possibly including the cancellation of entire missions such as Hubble, Perseverance, and Voyager.
