  1. So help me, "future-copters" or whatever you call these craft *are so cool*. As is the whole idea of a parachutist diving off of one. What's the story here? Honestly I never gave it much thought, but in the meantime, you can still enjoy my painting of "A moonslit airdrop".

    Cleo Abram talks with scientists about subglacial #lakes and ice cores that act as a frozen timeline of our #atmosphere. The remote environments could help us understand how life might survive on icy moons like #Jupiter's #Europa.

  13. 🌊πŸͺ Researchers at #MIT identified universal rules for how #waves form on other #planets by analyzing the relationship between wind #energy and planetary conditions.

    Their model illustrates that on #moons like #Titan low gravity and dense atmospheres allow waves to start at very low wind speeds and grow taller than they do on #Earth. Conversely lava worlds with high gravity and viscous molten rock would require hurricane-force winds to create even a small ripple.

  15. 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/

  16. πŸͺ Some of the most striking worlds in our solar system are not planets at all. They are moons shaped by ice, fire, and oceans hidden in the dark, each carrying a quiet record of how complex a small world can become.

  17. CW: Naked female khajiit under the moons

    An art commission I got from furaffinity.net/user/saf - this one is from the backstory of my ESO khajiit necromancer Zhakarii.

    After an encounter with an Oblivion portal to Namiira's realm in the Reach, she was falling to the Bent Dance and transforming into a dro-m'athra. As a last resort to save herself, she improvised a ritual using psijiic and necromantic magics to stop it, using necromantic magics to protect her soul and psijiic techniques to fortify her body, with the whole thing empowered by the gaze of Jone and Jode at their fullest. For the final component, she etched herself with protective magical psijiic tattoos meant to stabilize her very existence, as well as to ward off Namiira and the drums of Lorkhaj.

    Through the power of the Enantiomorph, the Fifth Walking Way of the psijiics, it worked! Though it didn't reverse what had already been done, it did stop it mid-process, and blocked out any further influence from the Great Dark Behind the World. The power of one of the Walking Ways was enough, but it blinded the moons to any further repeats of this process, preventing such a trick from ever being used again.

    End result is she remained mostly herself, but with the ability to wield shadow magic and dro-m'athra soulfire. She also gained the ability to use the lunar lattice to travel between places of power, as well as resurrect herself much like the rumored Vestige that fought Molag Bal(since she isn't my canon Vestige).

  23. πŸ›°οΈ New paper by Knowles et al.: Using the #JWST, the authors observed rapid variability in the auroral footprints of #Jupiter’s #moons in Jupiter’s #atmosphere.

    IR observations show that the footprints of moons like #Io can change on short timescales, highlighting the dynamic interaction between Jupiter’s #magnetosphere and its satellites. The moon–magnetosphere coupling driving Jupiter’s #aurora is more variable than previously assumed.

  24. Dramatic contrasts and the geophysics they suggest lead us to a system straight out of classic sci-fi: around a nearby sun-like star, worlds that are Earth-like but are certainly not Earth *twins*.

  25. [#Waves and #Plasma] Numerous #moons orbit #Jupiter, including #Io, whose volcanic activity causes the ejection of #matter and the formation of a magnetized #plasma discβ€”or #magnetodiscβ€”in the equatorial plane of the gas giant.

    How does the plasma in this magnetodisk manage to remain in a state of #equilibrium? By emitting waves, according to a new study based on data acquired by the #Juno probe, which has been orbiting #Jupiter since 2016.
