  17. #GPS and #Maps #Navigation tool

    When switching out from Google products, I found #MagicEarth and decided to try it out. The subscription was €0.99/year.

    Either I didn't get it was for the first year only or they changed something, but the price has now increased to €14.99/year.

    Overall, I had a good experience, even if the "search for a shop and check opening hours" habit never worked. But I wonder if it's worth the price, if there are better options, if you have advices?

    Thoughts?

  32. The Phobos 2 images can be made into a photomap to show coverage. This version (top) also shows two instrument footprints (both were infrared detectors). The lower image shows the lander targets from this paper:

    A small hopper would move around on the surface, another lander would last longer.

  35. ☀️🌑🌍 Where can you see today’s total solar eclipse?

    The Moon’s shadow will cross eastern Greenland 🇬🇱, Iceland 🇮🇸, northern Spain 🇪🇸 and northeastern Portugal 🇵🇹, while a partial eclipse will be visible across much of Europe 🌍.

    🗺️ ESA’s global map shows the path of totality and the areas where a partial eclipse will be visible.

    🗺️ An interesting example of how open #geospatial data can be turned into tools for #accessibility and #inclusion.

    Touch Mapper uses #OpenStreetMap data to create tactile maps for any address 📌, helping people who are blind or partially sighted explore places and plan routes 🧭.

    The maps can be 3D-printed 🖨️, making it possible to explore geospatial information in a different way 🤲🏼.

  39. And here is a global mosaic mostly made of Viking images - plus the north polar Mariner 9 image shown earlier. It is the fuzzy bit at top centre. Two students who helped with the project are named on the map.

    So... Viking showed us most of the surfaces of Phobos and Deimos at good enough resolution to start planning missions to explore them. Who is first up?

  42. PolGeoNow fans: If you've ever thought, "I hope these guys are getting paid enough for all this work", this would be a great time to buy us a coffee or two through our new Ko-fi page (ko-fi.com/polgeonow).

    Struggling to cover living expenses right now, despite living in a place where things cost a lot less than in the US or most of Europe. That also means your contribution helps more than you might realize!

  43. "The worst-case scenarios in the IPCC report project temperatures by the 22nd century that last prevailed in the Early Eocene, reversing 50 million years of cooler climates in the space of two centuries.
    […] The rise of large-scale, urbanized agrarian societies began with the shift to the stable climate of the Holocene ∼12,000 y ago. Since then, human population density peaked within a narrow climatic envelope with a mean annual average temperature of ∼13 °C. Even today, the most economically productive centers of human activity are concentrated in those areas."
