Another solar eclipse I didn't get to observe 😢 Maybe next time

[Jasmine 🌌🔭 @astro_jaz]

we’ve seen eclipses on earth, so here’s an eclipse from mars.
this is mars’s moon phobos eclipsing the sun.

"Research"in the 1950s, so accurate and so wrong. Tbh I can't even tell which she made up 😬 https://t.co/KPv8g3jOrT

I wonder about this sometimes, what a truly odd species we are

Last day working at the SLSL 🚀 Will miss Dr. Andrew Schurger and the UFL team. #SpaceLifeSciencesLab #KSC #SpaceBiology #RedstoneRocket #LaunchComplex5

@AlastairLawless Neighborhood consensus is it's a missile launch. Hopefully just a test 🤞They scrubbed this evening's Falcon 9 launch for unknown reasons...

Just saw an "unplanned launch" over Cape Canaveral. Any groups/pages that might have details or discussion? #CapeCanaveral #Launch #SpaceCoast

@PhoKingUgly @rawsalerts @CitizenFreePres Proximity to the equator ✓ Near the ocean ✓ And on the east coast ✓

You want to launch over water in case the launch fails. The east coast and equator factors are because you want to USE the earth's spin to your advantage. Launching into the west would waste fuel.

Nature is amazing!
A camera recorded from start to finish how a bird built its nest and had its chicks.

It's life, but not the life it looks like. I'm mostly interested in abiogenic biomorphs, but here's a fun biogenic biomorph. https://t.co/bfWyzlyvV4

Don't worry folks, we have a plan... the Rockwell Integrated Space Plan made in the 1980's detailing humanity's future in space

@RHBrotchner @AvatarDomy2 @tardigradopedia Had to go look this up... "Tardigrades are oviparous, and fertilization is usually external. Mating occurs during the molt with the eggs being laid inside the shed cuticle of the female"
