Podcast about space, science, and sports. Pursuing a PhD in Computational Chem. Streaming Terraforming Mars, League of Legends, and others on Twitch

So I've been thinking about streaming on @Twitch. I would probably stream #LeagueOfLegends @riotgames #TerraformingMars #DKO and maybe even some #JustChatting streams. Let me know if you would check it out and what other games I could play! #ScienceGames

Venus’ atmosphere is extremely thick, creating a huge amount of pressure at the surface. If you were standing on Venus, you’d be under so much atmospheric pressure that it would feel the same as being a kilometer underwater on Earth. (via @exploreplanets)

Over the 26-year history of the Shoemaker NEO grant program, Planetary Society members and donors have played a major role in the advancement of planetary defense by providing about $585,000 in grant funding for asteroid hunters around the world. (via @exploreplanets)

When BepiColombo enters into orbit around Mercury in 2025 it will separate into two spacecraft, one led by ESA and the other by JAXA. That will double the total number of spacecraft to have ever studied Mercury up close, bringing the count from two to four. (via @exploreplanets)

A Mars day (called a sol) is about 40 minutes longer than an Earth day. The scientists and engineers who operate Mars rovers sometimes have to sync up with sols, meaning they start their work about 40 minutes later every day. (via @exploreplanets)

With trillions of galaxies in the Universe, each containing hundreds of billions of stars, most of which are likely to host planets, many of which host moons, the number of worlds out there is staggering — as is the likelihood that life exists beyond Earth. (via @exploreplanets)

This week a record number of people were in space. A total of 16 people were in Earth orbit aboard China’s Tiangong space station, the International Space Station, and SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule. The previous record of 14 was set in 2021. (via @exploreplanets)

My latest stream of #TerraformingMars is now live on @YouTube @YouTubeGaming! I start out mining, but all I find are plants. Come see if it's good enough for me to win! #ScienceVideoGame #ScienceBoardGame #boardgame #NotGoodAtGames @Twitch #StreamingLive

Because of the New Horizons mission, we now know more about the surface of Pluto than the surface of Venus, even though the latter is billions of miles closer to home. NASA’s VERITAS mission, which is facing crippling budget cuts, would change that. (via @exploreplanets)

Wow! This looks so cool! I can't wait to get my hands on this and build it! @NASAPersevere @NASA @NASAJPL #Mars #SpaceIsCool @LEGO_Group #Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter

[LEGO @LEGO_Group]

Prepare for a mission to Mars with the LEGO Technic replica of the @NASAJPL Mars Rover @NASAPersevere! Explore realistic LEGO Technic functions including 360° steering and articulated suspension, plus an AR app where you can learn more about Mars and the Mars Rover! 👩‍🚀

The European Space Agency’s Juice mission, which launched earlier this year, will be the first mission ever to orbit another planet’s moon. Juice will study Jupiter’s moons Europa and Callisto via flybys before entering into orbit around Ganymede. (via @exploreplanets)

China’s Zhurong rover has found patterns on Martian sand dunes that can only have been formed by liquid water, which is likely to have begun as snow or frost https://t.co/GEVN5wDsUe

[Nature Astronomy @NatureAstronomy]

JWST mid-IR images of Fomalhaut reveal a system of dusty rings and disks, created as debris from planetesimal collisions. These structures suggest the presence of a likely dynamically active planetary system. @AndrasGaspar et al.: https://t.co/sl0wbDBO1m / https://t.co/OIKapqk2xb

When we say “supermassive black holes,” just how do they measure up?

Using their shadows for size, we’ve rounded up 10 black holes and compared them to objects in our solar system. Don’t worry – these black holes are many light-years away: https://t.co/Vb6zIWzHh6 #BlackHoleWeek

Mars’ moons are both very small. Deimos is so small and has such low gravity that if you stood on its surface and jumped you could achieve escape velocity and leave the moon forever. (via @exploreplanets)

Decided to take some vacation time with the family! So no stream tonight, unfortunately. Will be back and #Streaming some more Terraforming Mars soon! In the meantime, come see how badly I get beaten. Come join my next stream to help me out! #BoardGames

Can you spot @NASAPersevere?

Ingenuity completed Flight 51 over the weekend, snapping a special cameo of the rover from 40 ft (12m) in the air. On this flight, the #MarsHelicopter traveled 617 ft (188 meters) for 136.89 seconds. https://t.co/1CXIWdYIAQ

The dwarf planet Eris was named after the Greek goddess of discord and strife, which is fitting; discoveries about Eris were instrumental in the eventual reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet, which sparked a lot of discord and strife among the public. (via @exploreplanets)

Our Digital Day of Action's goal is for 1,000 space advocates to contact Congress in support of NASA. Go to https://t.co/surNaDSWHD to save the VERITAS mission to Venus, get NEO Surveyor to the launch pad, and ensure the future of space exploration at NASA. (via @exploreplanets)
