@amoroso Ah. Flat Moon ?

@Artemis201 I think the moment this solidified to me was when I, an undergrad, asked a tired grad student why something worked the way it did, and got back without a hint of humor, 'Spite. Look, it's as good of a reason as you're going to get, so just go with spite.'

@esoastronomy The "good" news is that, if they put a million satellites in low earth orbit, the inevitable will likely happen and we'll see what it is like to live on a planet with rings consisting of dust and small chunks left over after the satellites start hitting each other.

Adaptive optics techniques enable high-resolution imaging from the ground.

@PonderStibbonsThank you

We often hear news about habitable #exoplanets, but what does "habitable" actually mean? Is an "Earth-like" planet truly like the Earth?In our latest ESO blog we clarify some of the confusion around these terms. Check it out!https://www.eso.org/public/blog/habitable-zone/#astrodon #astronomy #astrophysics #space #science

@KrajciTom Spectacular.

@Some_Emo_Chickyes, even better than from the space station.

So cool. If you zoom in on the upper right, you see a little crescent. That's the Martian moon Phobos.Zoom in again and you'll see a star next to Phobos. That's Earth! That's home.Seen from Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover.https://science.nasa.gov/photojournal/curiosity-views-earth-setting-phobos-rising/ #science #space #astronomy

A next-level photo of Earth’s Moon!

👽️🔭Scientists just found a Super-Earth Exoplanet.It's just 18 light-years away: a super-Earth named GJ 251c with a minimum mass about 3.84 times that of our own planet. The most exciting part? It's smack-bang in its star's habitable zone — an orbital distance neither too far from nor too close to the star to support life.🖇️Check my Image Description’s🖇️https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/ae0e20#251c #exoplanet #astronomy #physics #science #media #space #observation #tech #news

@GustavinoBevilacqua \nWhy did the aurora go to art class? Because it wanted to brush up on its northern lights! ✨

I find this remarkable:The Dresden Codex, one of the few surviving Mayan manuscripts, contains tables that give highly accurate timings of solar eclipses over more than 700 years, from 350 CE to the 12 century. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adt9039 #history #science #astronomy

A dance of two pairs! While the two Magellanic Clouds shine upon the Atacama Desert in #Chile, two Auxiliary Telescopes of ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer point up to the sky.Just like our cosmic neighbours move around the Milky Way, the Auxiliary Telescopes can be moved along rails and arranged in different configurations when observing the sky.Read more: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2545a/📷 J.

The Americas’ oldest book is an intricate work of Maya astronomyCreated in the 11th or 12th century, the Códice Maya de México (the Maya Codex of Mexico) is the oldest of these works and the only one to predate the arrival of the conquistadors in the 16th century.https://aeon.co/videos/the-americas-oldest-book-is-an-intricate-work-of-maya-astronomy#books #astronomy
