Hoy es un día histórico para la exploración espacial.

Sintoniza NASA en Español para seguir el minuto a minuto del lanzamiento de Europa Clipper!

12 pm hora Chile
8 am hora California

T-2h53m07s for ignition!

I’m here at Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center and the atmosphere is electric. We are patiently waiting for the liftoff of the Falcon Heavy that will take Europa Clipper to Jupiter in search of a habitable environment beyond Earth.

Go Clipper!

More than 2,700 light-years from Earth, eight planets orbit a star slightly larger than our Sun. This system was found using machine learning; researchers trained computers to look for signs of planets in data from the Kepler Space Telescope. https://t.co/xqPKgFmTk4

Congratulations on 50 orbits, #JunoMission! We'll never tire of these stunning views.

Self-care Satur(n)day! 🪐

3 mindfulness tips 👇

1. Take up space. Saturn is the 2nd largest planet in our solar system.
2. Slow down. One year on Saturn is more than 29 Earth years.
3. Surround yourself with friends. Saturn has at least 83 moons in addition to its famous rings.

Felicitaciones a @DocTerremoto por el merecidisimo reconocimiento! Nunca me cansare de agradecerte por ser tan impecable mentor. 🙏

Félicitations à Jean-Paul Ampuero @DocTerremoto sismologue @EQ_Geoazur @umrGeoazur @ird_fr @INSU_CNRS @ObsCoteAzur @Univ_CotedAzur qui s'est vu attribuer la médaille d'argent 2023 du CNRS pour ses travaux sur la rupture sismique #Seismology, #earthquakes https://t.co/1Rs07ExN5Y

@XiaohuaXu1 Congratulations, interesting result. Check our theoretical predictions (me and @DocTerremoto) for a VERY simple LVFZ with damage relevant to what you report here. We predict narrow pulses, reverse rupture, and complex seismicity. Happy to talk more.

[Benjamín Idini @BenjaminIdini]

@_absrp @XiaohuaXu1 Interesting observation. The damage reported here (94% in shear modulus) is relevant to a theoretical prediction me and @DocTerremoto produced a few years ago: pulse propagation, reversely-propagating fronts, and complex seismicity; all from a simple LVFZ

@aussiastronomer @EricMamajek @astrojennb Logic clearly dictates that this is wrong. Vulcan lives.

Did someone drop their large-scale model of Mars? They found it.

Aliens? 😀
A 1.5 meter sphere appeared on Tuesday (21) at Enshuhama Beach in Hamamatsu, Japan. Police surrounded the area and cordoned off a perimeter of 200 meters until the type of metallic material was identified.

Announcing the 5th OWL Exoplanet Summer Program at @ucsc, July 10-28, 2023! Come to Santa Cruz to generate new science ideas and build and foster collaborations. Applications accepted from Feb 15-Mar 10, with more details at: https://t.co/4cVJD1xMdO

[Benjamín Idini @BenjaminIdini]

@JonesKuma Good luck to you both! Thank you for making UCSC so welcoming. The UT is lucky to have you 😌. I hope to see you soon again!

Winter is coming 😮. Should I buy candles?
