例大祭に出す萌基板だよ〜
（組立不要、部品が全部乗ってる完成品です）
USBにさすと光るよ💡

新作は八雲紫（Yukarino）です！
妖々夢20周年もあって紫さまの弾幕をイメージした
赤と青のLEDも20個+α散りばめてみました！

通信機能も搭載していています〜。
誰と通信できるかは今後のお楽しみ！

Got a closer look at the #MarsHelicopter than I’ve had in quite a while. Ingenuity is a little dustier since its first flight two years ago today (!!) – but it’s looking mighty good after 50 flights!

Our #JunoMission has completed its 50th (!) close pass of Jupiter since the spacecraft first entered orbit around the giant planet in 2016. Relive some of the visual highlights from Juno’s unprecedented journey: https://t.co/3MtGuf15Fd

[Relativity Space @relativityspace]

Today’s launch proved Relativity’s 3D-printed rocket technologies that will enable our next vehicle, Terran R. We successfully made it through Max-Q, the highest stress state on our printed structures. This is the biggest proof point for our novel additive manufacturing approach. Today is a huge win, with many historic firsts. We also progressed through Main Engine Cutoff and Stage Separation. We will assess flight data and provide public updates over the coming days. #GoodLuckHadFun

Still so proud of this monstrosity. Minutes after writing it, I forgot how it works, and that knowledge remains thankfully lost to me to this day

@coronacanada I was flying to space one time and the rocket carrying my luggage exploded.

Known to some as the Snow or Wolf Moon, this month's full moon is visible for the next two days. Have you taken a photo that turns your eyes into big pizza pies? Reply and share it with us: https://t.co/eZRxOAR0vD

One of the more impressive @planet images I’ve had the privilege of working on lately. All 9 Himalayan 8,000-meter peaks in one view, taken from over Afghanistan.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate!

Today's new moon marks the beginning of the lunar calendar year in many Asian cultures. Learn all about Moon phases here: https://t.co/KdJeY2CXDo

“That's not a spanner. That's a spanner!”
The things we do to get a smile. I remembered this huge spanner half way up DSS43, obviously too heavy to lug up and down.The handle was extended to allow 2 people to jump up and down on it.

Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance

[Cyber City Circuits @MakeAugusta]

New reflow methods just dropped.

Heads up! @NOAASatellites' GOES-18, launched in March 2022, is now #GOESWest. Miles above Earth, it’ll observe the Western Hemisphere, helping weather forecasters, emergency managers, and all who want to know more about our changing planet.

Take a look: https://t.co/fLkBSs2DKg

[NOAA Satellites @NOAASatellites]

.@NOAA's #GOES18 satellite, which launched on March 1, 2022, has officially entered service as the new #GOESWest!

In this capacity, the satellite will monitor the western contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, and Central America.

@Wxcafe @Tauss_srgl Oh hey, I just uploaded a card image for this!
I use it with a CF to PCMCIA adapter https://t.co/6aFcjbWrC4

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

Not one to brag, but this is pretty momentous. By dropping this one tube to the ground, I’ve officially started setting aside samples that Mars Sample Return could bring back to Earth someday.

Update on @NASAInSight: On Dec. 18, the Mars lander did not respond to communications from Earth. Power has been declining for months, as expected, and this may mean the end of operations for the spacecraft. The team will try again to contact InSight. https://t.co/PsDaWokb9Z

[NASA InSight @NASAInSight]

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.
