I hope pork chops are okay from time to time.

More like living in a less crowded area, and, er, a binary lifestyle.

It’s not being alone and having space to flourish.

@Innerworld could you please add the link to the source(s) to your posts?

I guess you are just pasting the Astronomy Picture of the Day in here, which is nice. But maybe link to the relevant post (or its original source), so that people not aware of this can learn from the added context the sources provide.

That petri dish is going to need a thorough cleaning.

It looks like a perfectly sphered space potato.

That’s no moon, it’s a space station spherical potato

This seems to be the source:

…nasa.gov/…/global-image-of-io-true-color/

baguette, 8 dni temu

Thanks! My opinion is that images from NASA, ESA etc should always link to the source. They always include interesting information about what is in the image. It is also nice if I don’t need to search the database for ages.

porcoesphino, 8 dni temu

Yeah… I kind of wish it was a request of the channel. I’ve found a few of the sources now and it’s mostly on this channel people seem to post other people’s images with no references

baguette, 8 dni temu

I guess OP found this in yesterday’s ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day’, which includes the link you sent. Would’ve cost a second to include it in the post.

porcoesphino, 8 dni temu

I wonder what we can do to help motivate including links to sources

I messaged the moderator asking if we could update the channel description but haven’t heard back

Not true color. This is an “enhanced” photo.

Mac, 8 dni temu

Indeed.

This color mosaic uses the near-infrared, green and violet filters (slightly more than the visible range) of the spacecraft’s camera and approximates what the human eye would see.

It world also appear much darker.

porcoesphino, 8 dni temu

I didn’t think about that. It almost looks metallic, or like the shading you see with 3d modelling software
