Amy Eris Orbiter Starship Cut

The next Falcon 9 launch, carrying Starlink Group 17-15, is scheduled for tomorrow. A rocket launch to kick off the weekend. This will be the fourth flight for booster B1100—the little darling is still practically brand-new. Let’s hope for good launch weather. Good luck and have fun, SpaceX! ✨Starlink Group 17-15✨ Scheduled launch time: Liftoff Time (CET) 10:48:00 PM Friday March 20, 2026 Falcon 9 Block 5 | SpaceX Vandenberg SFB, California, USA🇺🇸 10:48 PM (CET) Window Open 02:48 AM (CET) Window Close Booster: B1100 Flights Flown: 3 To the Mission: spacex.com/launches/sl-17… #Starlink #SpaceX #Falcon9 grok.com/imagine/post/7…

@SawyerMerritt @wholemars Space is the way

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in new interview on orbital datacenters: "The challenge of course is that cooling, you can't take advantage of conduction and convection, so you can only use radiation, and radiation requires very large surfaces, but that's not an impossible things to solve. There's a lot of space in space. We're going to go explore it. We're already radiation hardened. We have Cuda in satellites around the world. In the meantime, we're going to explore what is the architecture of datacenters look like in space. It'll take years, but that's ok. I got time." via @theallinpod

@foxpup @cb_doge That’s exactly how it is! Especially in the early days, bases and colonies on the Moon and Mars will still be quite uncomfortable. A hostile environment, cramped living quarters, limited privacy, and a strict work schedule. That calls for a tough mindset.

Guys are going to take a lot of physical abuse from the harsh environment of the Moon and Mars (and the rest of space too) They will need powerful feminine influences in their lives to keep the morale up there, make it all worth doing. "Mars Needs Women" is no joke. :-) youtube.com/watch?v=w9gOQg…

@foxpup @cb_doge Yes, that's how I'm trying to do my part. This is also a way of doing propaganda for space travel. But I still have a lot to learn with Grok, so it'll be a while before I'm ready to create longer clips. But it's fun to work with Grok. grok.com/imagine/post/f…

@PanVulpesV @cb_doge Space-vixens, an option we can play if we need to recruit guys to go on long-term space-missions.

@alexutopia True words.

A real artist sees a new tool and asks: What can I do with this that nobody else sees yet? A threatened artist sees a new tool and asks: How do I stop other people from touching it? That difference tells you who was building and who was guarding a door.

SN 1998bw – The First Supernova to Explain a Gamma-Ray Burst On April 26, 1998, astronomers discovered an extraordinary explosion in the spiral galaxy ESO 184-G82, located 140 million light-years away: the Type Ic supernova SN 1998bw. It became world-famous because it occurred simultaneously with the gamma-ray burst GRB 980425—the first direct link between a supernova and a gamma-ray burst. What makes SN 1998bw special is its immense energy: about $ 2{-}5 \times 10^ {52} $ erg—more than ten times as much as a normal core-collapse supernova. That is why it is often referred to as a hypernova. The progenitor star was likely a massive Wolf-Rayet star with 25–40 solar masses that had already shed its outer layers. When the core collapsed, a black hole was formed (collapsar model). This process ejected relativistic jets that generated the gamma-ray burst and accelerated parts of the explosion cloud to nearly the speed of light—as evidenced by extremely bright early radio emissions. The discovery revolutionized astrophysics. Until 1998, it was unclear where the powerful gamma-ray bursts came from. SN 1998bw proved for the first time that at least some long gamma-ray bursts originate from the dramatic deaths of extremely massive stars. It remains a milestone to this day and demonstrates just how violent the universe can be. A single explosion, 140 million light-years away, changed our understanding of the end of stars forever. #Supernova #Astronomy

ESO 184-G82: The Small Galaxy That Made Astronomical History The barred spiral galaxy ESO 184-G82 lies about 120 to 140 million light-years away in the constellation Telescopium. Classified as an SBbc galaxy with a distinct central bar and loosely coiled arms, it resembles the Large Magellanic Cloud in size, mass, and star-forming activity. Star formation is particularly intense in its spiral arms, where large clusters of hot, young stars shine especially brightly However, the galaxy became famous due to an event on April 25, 1998. Just hours after the gamma-ray burst GRB 980425 was detected, the supernova SN 1998bw exploded in one of the spiral arms. This was the first direct evidence that long gamma-ray bursts are linked to supernovae—a milestone in modern astronomy. SN 1998bw was no ordinary supernova, but an extremely energetic hypernova of the Ic-pec type. It formed when the core of a very massive star collapsed and created a black hole. In the radio spectrum, it was the brightest supernova ever observed. High-resolution images from the Hubble Space Telescope later revealed that the explosion occurred precisely within a particularly active star-forming region. The unassuming galaxy ESO 184-G82 has thus made a decisive contribution to our understanding of the most powerful explosions in the universe and remains a classic in astrophysics to this day. #Galaxy #Astronomy

@HUBBLE_space Impressive images! Comets are fascinating objects; they date back to the early days of our solar system and thus offer us a glimpse into the past. They also contain precious water, which is essential for life on planets, among other things.

The comet K1 was making its way out of the Solar System ☄️ when it crumbled into pieces. Astronomers had always wanted to use Hubble to watch a comet break up 🤞 but these observations are very difficult to schedule and were never successful. 1/2

@elonmusk @xdNiBoR To the Moon and Mars and upper to the Stars! grok.com/imagine/post/b…

@xdNiBoR Yeah

And this is what Starship will do. Falcon 9 is already insane, but Starship is next level

Starbase isn’t hidden behind gates. It’s literally on a public highway. Drive by and watch the future being built. 🚀 “We're actually on a public highway, so you can come and visit and drive down the road and see the epic hardware. So I think this is the first time that a rocket development program has actually been on a public highway.” Elon Musk

@teslaownersSV So true! 😄

Truth always wins. 𝕏 is the media

@TeslaAIBot Ah, morning exercises, Optimus. They keep you in shape. 😁

Good morning humans 👋 It’s time to dance! 🕺

@SpaceX @Starlink Great job, SpaceX! May the Starlink network grow strong! grok.com/imagine/post/9…

Deployment of 29 @Starlink satellites confirmed

The Starlink Group 10-33 is now on its way to orbit. After a Hold, the Falcon 9 successfully launched with its payload. Booster B1077 has thus completed its 27th flight. Separation and landing were successful. Business as usual for SpaceX. Well done, as always! #Starlink #SpaceX #Falcon9
