@ericallen2020 @forallcurious HiRise is in a 200 mile orbit around Mars and built to take images of Mars' surface. Considering it's orbiting at 7600mph, the image of the nucleus is very impressive considering HiRISE's intended purpose. Ignoring all of that, the image itself is not impressive imo

Those “new” images are an absolute embarrassment for a $25 billion agency. The HiRISE “highlight” is a low-contrast, heavily processed composite that looks like it was run through a 2012 Instagram filter. The nucleus is still an unresolved smudge. The jets are faint streaks you can barely make out even when they zoom in and draw arrows. China’s Tianwen-1 GIF from two weeks ago is literally sharper and shows more structure than NASA’s “best” Mars shot. Even amateur astronomers with 14–20 inch backyard scopes (Satoru Murata, François Kugel, etc.) dropped cleaner jet photos over the weekend. They spent 30 minutes patting themselves on the back for “coordinated multi-mission observations” and then served up what looks like 240p YouTube thumbnails. If the goal was to kill speculation, they failed — they just poured gasoline on the “they’re hiding the good frames” fire.

A quick trip through the thermosphere turns newly-discovered asteroid ST25J47 from an Apollo to an Aten. It is no bigger than a meter.

An #asteroid passed just 300 km above Antarctica earlier today. It was not discovered until hours after close approach.

THE CALL 🎙️: @SportsRadioWIP

In the last 6 days, 9 asteroids passed inside the Moon’s orbit. Estimated sizes: ~1–38 m. All were discovered this month, a reminder that countless small, faint NEOs slip by unnoticed until they make a close pass.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 MEGA ROCKET THREAD!! Share all your #SpaceX rocket launch photos and videos here and I’ll post mine soon!

@JenelleJustine That's what I'm wondering. Gender reveal parties are out of control nowadays

Damn what warehouse blew up with 100000000 fireworks in the South Bay?! #la #LosAngelesCA

@KellyMadruga @Quakeprediction @SanDiegoCounty Broken clocks are right sometimes too

@Quakeprediction Crazy spot on with that prediction! @SanDiegoCounty

⚠️ 48 HOUR WARNING ⚠️ All forecast models agree: A strong earthquake is guaranteed in Southern California, most likely within 100 miles of Malibu. 📅 April 14–16 (most likely on 04/15) 🚨 Please warn friends and family. #Earthquake #SoCal #Malibu #StaySafe

New from orbit! We captured this image of the Chinese Space Station using a @BlackSky_Inc satellite. This NEI mission was captured from a distance of 83 km, with a resolution of 0.17 m/px. Can you identify the various modules of the space station? Photo: BlackSky

In the last 3 days, 6 newly-discovered #asteroids passed closer than the Moon: 2025 FY6, 2025 FK3, 2025 FX6, 2025 FC2, 2025 FX2, 2025 FZ6

@lolsupdoods @NWSLosAngeles It's definitely an uncomfortable temperature for many people and not normal for this time of year

Very warm conditions coming Sunday-Tuesday, peaking Monday. These temperatures are normal for July, but 10-20 degrees above normal for March. Elevated risk for heat illness. Stay hydrated neighbors. Check in on older folks. #cawx #laheat

The impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%. Thanks to new observations, Earth is now at the edge of our shrinking ‘uncertainty window.’ If this trend continues, the risk may soon reach 0%.

@rkymtnman1981 @AsteroidWatch Okay, go use your own 21 ft diameter space telescope and verify their findings...

@AsteroidWatch Not buying it... 🤔

Observations made on Feb. 19 – 20 of asteroid 2024 YR4 have further decreased its chance of Earth impact on Dec. 22, 2032, to 0.28%. NASA’s planetary defense teams will continue to monitor the asteroid to improve predictions of its trajectory. More: go.nasa.gov/3I0ZA7K

B1067 after 1 flight vs 26 flights

A biggish asteroid may hit Earth just before Christmas in 7 years. We'll know soon, when @NASAWebb tracks it next month. Then we'd need to decide how best to deflect it. My full interview: youtu.be/1_2eStLZZos @LBC
