The Rogue Astronomer

@ret2indnri @StBrianAerial LED lights are my generations asbestos, by the time the harm is fully understood and realised, it will be too late for an entire generation or more!

@StBrianAerial @AstronomerRogue Led lights going plastic way..only after years we reliased plastic is catastrophic to nature

Campaigner claims LED lighting can cause headaches & nausea irishtimes.com/news/ireland/i… @IrishTimes TY @TheIrishTim for this Eye-Opening article & information on the potential effects of intense LED light exposure. @DanaArschin @fox5ny @FoxNews @AP @Reuters @novapbs @LauraPodestaTV

@MoreMorganB Hey Morgan, do applications for Space Educators have to be teachers? Can outreach astronomers/space geeks like myself apply, and work things into talks?

Seriously cool after school programme here.

@iangriffin next fundraising goal, Otago Museum aurora flights?

It is time

With scientific evidence mounting that short-wavelength light has a disproportionate effect on the nighttime environment, it's important to manage the use of blue light carefully. Read more: darkskyconsulting.com/blog/dont-get-…

@RocketLab360 That's a big window

More news about Electron launches! The launch window for ‘Without Mission A Beat’ opens on 30 March and closes on 14 May. The mission is a dedicated launch for BlackSky. 📸: Rocket Lab

@drop69420 @KenKirtland17 Resin printing is better

@KenKirtland17 3D printing is the Holy Grail of model rocketery.

They are either *non-existent* or *absurdly expensive* or *obscenely low detail*

@RocketLab @BlackSky_Inc @SpaceflightInc Already? Have you guys stopped making patches? The last launch patch hasn't become available online yet?

It’s almost launch time again! Electron will take to the skies for a @BlackSky_Inc mission scheduled for lift off from April 1 UTC.🚀 Mission info: rocketlabusa.com/missions/next-…

@MorkOrg @katlinegrey Contracted seats to the ISS due to Starliner delays?

Yesterday, Rogozin at a meeting calculated the damage Roscosmos inflicted to the West by refusing to launch OneWeb satellites ($8 billion) and deliver rocket engines to USA ($4 billion). He promised to continue to do so if the West "continues to behave like this". (RIA)

@the_rocket_gal Omg there are some muppets out there, keep being you, and keep doing what you do!

Sick of having to read comments like these on a post *literally* about breaking the bias. How disappointing that this is being said on a day where you should spend more time than usual educating yourself on systemic gender inequality in STEM. You are the problem.

@pmisson @cefalopodo @FundStarlight @ACTION4CS @AytoMolina @unicomplutense @iclm @RObsMadrid @UAHes @esa_es @shedka @eglezguardia @22CETA22 Just looked into it, it allows you to filter publicly or privately, as both an individual or an organization, so you can have teams working on gathering data into the one private map

@AstronomerRogue @cefalopodo @FundStarlight @ACTION4CS @AytoMolina @unicomplutense @iclm @RObsMadrid @UAHes @esa_es @shedka @eglezguardia @22CETA22 It save it publicly. I don’t remember if allows to put tags.

Extraordinario trabajo de los nuevos monitores @FundStarlight durante el taller de @ACTION4CS #StreetSpectra cartografiando el alumbrado público de @AytoMolina @unicomplutense "cielos de #Guadalajara" @iclm @AytoMolina @RObsMadrid @UAHes @esa_es

BREAKING NEWS: Three major Ukrainian supermarket chains launch a boycott of Coca-Cola products after Coca-Cola refuses calls to stop selling in Russia — effectively condoning Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. RT IF YOU THINK THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD MUST BOYCOTT COCA-COLA!

@pmisson @cefalopodo @FundStarlight @ACTION4CS @AytoMolina @unicomplutense @iclm @RObsMadrid @UAHes @esa_es @shedka @eglezguardia @22CETA22 Will that allow you to map your own map for observations in a private setting, or does it simply save as a public forum?

@AstronomerRogue @cefalopodo @FundStarlight @ACTION4CS @AytoMolina @unicomplutense @iclm @RObsMadrid @UAHes @esa_es @shedka @eglezguardia @22CETA22 You can store it on mapillary.com

@pmisson @cefalopodo @FundStarlight @ACTION4CS @AytoMolina @unicomplutense @iclm @RObsMadrid @UAHes @esa_es @shedka @eglezguardia @22CETA22 Oh so does that let you store video files of observations? That's epic, the handy part is all main highways have the exact same LED light, it starts to deviate and change on local council roads, that's a handy tool to simply drive streets with a filtered camera and log later

@cefalopodo @astroguada Blue light from above and below via wet reflections

Gracias a @astroguada !

@Alexphysics13 @Peter_J_Beck It's because @RocketeerSi tests them, he has bought another level of excellence to Rutherford testing 😉

@Peter_J_Beck I wonder what you guys did to improve the performance by 5%, seems quite a good increase. Any clues that you can say? 👀👀👀

Fun facts

@darkskyalliance How can you call yourselves Australasian, yet NZ isn't a choice of territory?
