COSMIC FOSSILS: NEW 'SPACE ARCHAEOLOGY' UNRAVELS GALAXY'S LONG STORY
Learn how scientists use 'extragalactic archaeology' to study the chemical makeup of gas in galaxy NGC 1365 to understand its 12-billion-year growth history.

Scientists can now study galaxy history using chemical 'fingerprints' in gas. This is like finding ancient clues in space to see how galaxies like NGC 1365 grew over billions of years.

When someone drops a tank of hydrazine from the sky.

People are puzzled about why the West Australian space junk was still burning on the ground. It's unusual. But Skylab chunks were burning when they hit in 1979 - we have eyewitness accounts. What do the two spacecraft/events have in common?https://bsky.app/profile/drspacejunk.bsky.social/post/3m3qifk7qok2w

I asked #ChatGPT for a list of 50 job titles in the space industry and this was among the results. Where do I sign up?

Ursula K. LeGuin continues to provide timeless nuggets of wisdom. A passage from "The Field of Vision" that is especially relevant to our present moment:
These suspect elements of Site D were so numerous and so intricately interrelated that it was very hard for a single mind to attempt to arrange or order them.

Made a temporary fix for mapping issues relating to searches for #spacearchaeology
At least until I take Master's level courses in orbital mechanics.

By way of an email to the Antiquist list, I’ve learned of the schedule for the Material Digital Humanities seminar, organized by Gabriel Bodard and Rada Varga in spring and summer 2023. The seminars will all be online, and the duration of the presentation will be approximately 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes discussion. The seminar will normally take place on Tuesdays, 4pm GMT / 5pm CET / 6pm EET.

Zoom Earth is about to discontinue hi-res satellite imagery. Some of the captures they have online right now are uniquely revealing of past #Amazon #earthworks. https://zoom.earth/#view=-14.594606,-65.74302,17z

#GoogleEarth is adding 2022 imagery updates, revealing a lot more. Paste these coordinates in their search bar. #SpaceArchaeology has limitations, viewing multiple images really matters. -

Comparing satellite images can reveal usually hidden #archaeology in recently burned areas.

#SpaceArchaeology is a fascinating new area of study. Also, humanities and social science engagement with space studies is hugely important.
We need good social science to consider good governance models for people living off world. Can you imagine living on Mars if it was the personal fiefdom of Musk?
Safety nets and human rights will be a pretty urgent matter of life or death in space.
