Time for a midweek break from #astrophotography from our #constellation of the #month #Camelopardalis to show you Petrus Plancius!
Who is Petrus Plancius? Another of the multi-hyphenate astronomers of the 1600s, who we met in this week's episode!

The American Astronomical Society, the primary professional society of #astronomy and #astrophysics in the US, has two meetings every year. In each meeting, ~12-14 distinguished scientists and awardees are given plenary talks, a rare honor most astronomers will *not* receive in their career.
By some conspiracy of fate, this summer we are having talks by both Carolyn Kierans AND Carolyn Kuranz.
I dare not attempt to calculate the probability.

Ganymede Global Geologic Map and Global Image Mosaic
To present the best information in a single view of Jupiter moon Ganymede, a global image mosaic was assembled, incorporating the best available imagery from NASA Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft and NASA Galileo spacecraft.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Snaps Selfie in Mars’ Western Frontier
Percy is portrayed against a sweeping backdrop of ancient Martian terrain at a location the science team calls "Lac de Charmes".

I can't blame Musk for this one.
This is a passing jet! And comet C/2025 R3 PANSTARRS.

The Artemis II images browser is in a much better shape now, with separate collections for the Earth, Moon, and Eclipse images. A complete scientific data archive prepared by the lunar science team and peer-reviewed is to be released through NASA's PDS.

Curiosity Blog, Sols 4886-4892: Ingenuity and Perseverance, Curiosity Style
"While we know the monikers Ingenuity and Perseverance are attached to our sister helicopter and rover on the Mars 2020 mission, those characteristics were in full force with Curiosity over the past week."

NASA’s Curiosity Takes Close Look at Rock That Got Stuck on Drill
This mosaic is made up of eight images stitched together. The color has been approximately white-balanced to resemble how the scene would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth.

A fun detail in that photo of the two Lego telescope models in my previous post: that's the Very Large Telescope sitting on the right Nasmyth instrument platform of the Extremely Large Telescope. The two models are built to approximately the same scale, a VLT Unit Telescope (without its dome) really would fit on the instrument platform of the ELT, the jump in scale from the current generation of telescopes to the next is just that big.
I'm 2024 I was lucky enough to be able to photograph the ELT from the VLT and vice versa, enabling me to make a size comparison of my own: https://aus.social/@spacelizard/113185149611957251

If you have a 3D printer that you're not using (or, better yet, several of them) and you're looking for a project, here's an Extremely Large one for you: a printable 3D model of @esoastronomy's Extremely Large Telescope, https://www.eso.org/public/products/models3d/ELT-3D-Print-model/
There are a *lot* of parts, many of which are small and intricately detailed. It would be a time consuming challenge to print and assemble, but it must be possible because there are photos of the resulting model bundled with the STEP file.
