Kichae, w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.

So, apparently Potato World is actually open today, unannounced. So, just this once, everybody lives I really can have it all

Kichae,

False alarm. They just have an inflatable planetarium set up inside. No potato displays at all :(

soupspoon,

This was a roller coaster of emotions! I had to look up Potato World after that and saw Col. Chris Hadfield is giving a speech nearby this evening

Kichae,

He is! Though I’m not sure how anyone has anything left in the tank after the eclipse for a talk, even from him

Hello from someone who lives in New brunswick! Small world

Kichae,

You’ve had Potato World all this time, and you didn’t share it with your neighbours??!?

zammy95,

I feel like no one else in the comments cares. I’m so VERY interested in Potato World.

I mean, not as much as in the eclipse, but still VERY interested.

Kichae,

Right??!?

And it’s a pretty big place, all things considered. But it’s seemingly only open from September to mid-October.

That seems like a reasonably potato filled kind of time down here in Canada

I honestly had no idea, I figured potato world is just what we called Pei

Blackmist, w [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

I actually looked up when the next total eclipse passes over my house, and the good news is I’ve only got to live to be about 170 years old.

Thorry84, w The mathematically perfect exoplanet system — a great place to search for alien tech

Damn space.com, don’t forget to put some article in between the ads on your site

Shurimal, w What would happen if you moved at the speed of light?

If you somehow got rid of your rest mass to move at the speed of causality, two things would happen: first, you'd experience no time; second, you'd instantly crash into your destination and die in a rather energetic way. That's the neat thing about photons; from a photon's POV time and distance do not exist. A photon, from its POV, is emitted and absorbed at the same time in the same place.

Much more interesting is having rest mass and moving at a high fraction of c: http://gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower-speed-of-light/

littletoolshed, w How Venus Ended Up with a Mini-Moon Named Zoozve

The Radiolab episode was quite good, definitely recommend a listen

sramder, w First Space Force guardian to be launched into space this summer
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

“Guardians” I don’t know how to feel about that.

gravitas_deficiency,

Yeah the Space force was created during the Trump administration…

sramder,
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

It’s more that it evokes two completely conflicting ideas. The optimistic idealism of my youth or the bitter cynicism of Verhovens Starship Troopers.

Pretty sure Trump just gave himself credit for it.

LesserAbe,

Yeah we would scoff at someone calling a soldier “guardian” even if they’re fighting for us, so let’s scoff at calling space soldiers “guardian” too.

sramder,
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, the attempts to distance themselves from the military aspect of it is not really engendering a lot of trust… “He’s going up to do *s c i e n c e,*low gravity research or something, various experiments, don’t worry about it.“

@maegul@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s wonderful to see how even at this scale there’s still that fractal-ish, dense and chaotic, but elegant and beautiful aesthetic that nature creates.

nothacking, w The amazing helicopter on Mars, Ingenuity, will fly no more

Well, it lasted longer then any of my drones do before I have to replace a propellor. (That might be a bit harder on Mars)

CADmonkey, w NASA Finally Removes Last Two Fasteners To Access Historic Bennu Asteroid Sample

Getting a stripped screw or bolt to come out is one thing.

Getting one out without contaminating everything around it is another.

Uninformed_Tyler, w NASA Finally Removes Last Two Fasteners To Access Historic Bennu Asteroid Sample

Breaking News you say

brettvitaz,

I think they removed the fasteners without breaking anything.

rickt137, w It pains to admit but i got Bird Jones'ed when buying my first telescope
@rickt137@astrodon.social avatar

@einfach_orangensaft I had a Bird Jones - worst optics I've ever seen in a telescope. It was cute as a button sitting on my desk, though!

hemko, w Size Comparison: Pluto and Australia

Hey wtf put Pluto back to where it belongs. Do you have any idea how bad this is for the world economics???

mindbleach,

Would the owner of a beige 1930 dwarf planet please move it, or we will have it towed.

Murdoc,

I think a TARDIS can do that.

Wait a goddamned fucking minutes that’s not cheese…!

cyberpunk007,

It’s cheese, gromit!
