threelonmusketeers, 12 dni temu do astronomy w [Eric Berger] Tuesday Telescope: A rare glimpse of one of the smallest known moons

In what context?

threelonmusketeers, 16 dni temu do astronomy w [Meta] Comm Clarification

I think that !space is the most general community, and communities like “!astronomy” and “!spaceflight” are subsets.

• Interesting data from a telescope? Astronomy and space, but not spaceflight.
• A new GPS satellite is launched? Spaceflight and space, but not astronomy.
• The Perseverance rover drills into a neat rock on Mars? Space, but not really astronomy or spaceflight.
• A new space telescope is launched? Definitely all three.

These are just my thoughts though, and I’d love to hear what others think.

@Bee, @otter, @Bitswap Thoughts on changing the display name of !space from “Space & Astronomy” to just “Space”? Not that astronomy posts wouldn’t be welcome, but it could help reduce confusion with this community.

It might have failed to reach orbit, but it still lifted off successfully and didn’t destroy the pad on the way back down. I’d say that’s pretty successful for the first flight of a new launch vehicle.

Now pushed to March 28th.

Huh, TIL. Thanks!

Now I’m imagining bits of the sail bulging out of the rocket fairing like a hastily-packed sleeping bag at the end of a camping trip.

Well, if JWST was worth the wait, I’m sure LUVOIR would be as well.

But yeah, I’m impatient too :)

Those will like be the Nancy Grace Roman and LUVOIR space telescopes.

to replace astronauts stranded for 9 months

They were never considered stranded, except maybe for the few days between Starliner’s empty return and the Crew-9 Dragon’s arrival. Certainly not for 9 months.

This also isn’t really relevant to astronomy.

Do we know if the Moon will be in the correct phase in it’s orbit when 2024 YR4 comes by? I didn’t notice a term to account for that, but I’m not too familiar with Desmos.
