But I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. He would not require us to deny sense and reason in physical matters which are set before our eyes and minds by direct experience or necessary demonstrations.
Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) Italian astronomer, physicist, engineer, polymath

🛰️ 📍🔒Really nice demonstration of the feasibility to use Galileo Signal Authentication Service (SAS) to authenticate GNSS timing.
The paper authors used a Septentrio engineering firmware taking small RF snapshots and using only the E6-C pseudorange, with an RMS error of 20 ns.

A Pendulum for the Multiverse: David Albert, Hugh Everett, and the Worlds We Never Feel
On my grandfather's porch in North Loup, Nebraska, the ground kept its promises. Summer evenings the floorboards held the day's heat, the corn stood in rows that ran clear to the horizon, and nothing in all that flat immensity so much as trembled. When a teacher first told me the Earth was spinning at close to a thousand miles an hour while racing around the Sun at sixty-seven thousand more, I pressed my bare feet against those boards and waited to feel the ride. The stillness came back like a verdict. Whatever the books claimed, my soles reported a stationary world, and a boy trusts his soles. Every child who has run that experiment has rebuilt, in miniature, the strongest objection the seventeenth century could throw at Copernicus. If the Earth turns, why does a dropped stone land at the foot of the tower and never a few feet to the west? Why does the gale of our orbital speed fail to strip the leaves from the trees? The objection deserved respect because it rested on evidence, on the honest testimony of every human body that had ever stood still. It took Galileo's ship, and then Newton's laws, to explain why that testimony, though honest, was worthless. […] -
Mercury and Jupiter rising in the east in bright morning twilight.
The second image is a magnified view of the first and shows the overexposed disk of Jupiter and faint images of its four Galilean moons: Ganymede, Europa, Callisto, and Io. (Third graphic is from planetarium sky simulation software.)
This is a follow up to my toot from a few days ago:

The Moon Takes the Bow: The Longest Fight in the Sky, Scored on Love, Fear, Respect, and Attention
Two fighters have been circling each other since before anyone kept records, and the purse has never changed hands: the human gaze. In one corner burns a furnace so vast that something like a million Earths could rattle around inside it, the engine behind every green leaf and every heartbeat on this planet. In the other corner floats a charcoal-colored rock, airless and dead, throwing back about twelve percent of the light that hits it. On paper the match is a slaughter. In practice the rock has been taking rounds for ten thousand years, and the strangest fact on the whole card is a matter of scheduling, since only one of these two shows up for both shifts. […] -

It all began decades ago
After the two Voyager flybys in 1979, NASA sent a dedicated probe named #Galileo to Jupiter in the 1990s.
This spacecraft made several passes by #Europa during its nearly eight years in orbit around Jupiter, and data from this mission indicated the likely presence of a water ocean beneath the moon's icy surface.
In the nearly three decades since then, planetary scientists have had little more to go on than these tantalizing clues.
They've desperately wanted to know more.
Almost immediately after the first Europa data from Galileo beamed back to Earth in 1996, the administrator of NASA at the time,
#Dan #Goldin,
asked scientists at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California whether a small mission dedicated to the study of Europa was possible.Fitting within Goldin's ethos of
"faster, better, and cheaper,"
he wanted a design for a spacecraft carrying just 27 kg of scientific instruments to Europa,
about the same mass as a suitcase than can be checked on to an airplane."That was the beginning of a Europa orbiter concept," said science writer David Brown, author of
"The Mission", which tells the definitive story of the Europa Clipper mission.The original science objectives outlined during the development of this orbiter mission
—to investigate the composition of Europa’s ice shell and ocean, the world's geology, and to search for and characterize any plumes emanating from the ocean below
—remain more or less the same with #Clipper.However, as often happens with deep space missions, the budget doubled.
NASA's chief of science at the turn of the century, astrophysicist Ed Weiler, killed the nascent Europa program.
But scientists were still interested.
In 2003, the National Research Council published its first "decadal survey,"
a process by which the scientific community outlines research priorities for NASA.Over the years, these decadal surveys have become influential tools for guiding NASA policy.
In this first survey, scientists recommended that NASA establish a "large-class" mission to study #Europa
