  11. Which centaur is the.. centaur .. of attention in the #constellation Centaurus?

    Check out our #podcast on the #mythology of the centaur constellation here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

    And for the *other* (maybe) centaur constellation Sagittarius, check out: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

    (yes, I stole the pun from one of the Hercules animated series episodes i watched last night w/ Jordan -- frankly, i cannot believe we didn't think of it😂 )

  12. NEW EPISODE TOMORROW MORNING -- where are we off to for our long-delayed #asterism for the #constellation #Centaurus?

    THE (Galilean) MOONS OF JUPITER!

    It'll be a mostly #astronomy focused episode since we've covered the #mythology of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto in other episodes, but don't worry, we'll recap the #myths for you!

    Here's a little trailer for the second half of season 3: Into the Wild: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

  13. #PhotoOfTheDay: The Shells and Jets of #Galaxy #Centaurus A

    What's the closest active galaxy to planet Earth? That would be Centaurus A, cataloged as NGC 5128, which is only 12 million light-years distant.

    The featured image captures several features of it in a composite series of visible light images totaling over 310 hours captured over the past 10 years

  16. CW: covid19 variants and statistics for Australia

    Here's the latest variant picture for Australia:

    The BA.5.* lineages continue to fade, down to 57% of recent samples.

    There's continued recent growth from the BA.2.75.* lineages (16%) - the leading challenger. BQ.* lineages also continue to grow steadily (15%).

    Recent sample sizes are smaller. Unusually, recent samples have been shared by most states - details below. This rebalancing gives rise to what I think of as the "Tenet Effect" - some lineages appear to shrink in frequency (compared to my prior snapshots), as the mix of samples changes.

    There's continued recent growth from the BA.2.75.* lineages (22%) - the leading challenger. BQ.* lineages also continue to grow steadily (12%).

    Recent sample sizes are smaller. The last 5 days of samples shown are all from NSW.

  18. Yo Mastodon, listen...

    This is the first concept I did professionally before I started working in game studios. Clipstudio Paint asked for it and it was on the cover of their website for almost 3 years!

    THE CENTAURUS!

    Time flies for sure!

    These are my humble beginnings with @blender and @clipstudiopaint because #photoshop was my only tool at the time.

    Check my bio for more stuff! ;)
