#spacenerds — Public Fediverse posts

for any #SpaceNerds 👋 in #Aus who are looking for info about #ArtemisII mission timings, the ~6-minute #TLI burn is scheduled for 10:49 #AEDT today (2026-03-02 19:49 EDT)

all public mission timings that I’ve seen are only given in EDT, which is annoying af – I know that #NASA uses UTC as their canonical time standard for all mission timings but I guess they see themselves as mostly communicating publicly to a US audience so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (yeah, yeah, their tax dollars, whatev)

anyways, my go-to site for TZ conversions is the Time and Date website so here’s the link for the planned TLI burn time -> https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20260401T234900&p1=tz_et&p2=tz_aet

you can of course use the site to convert any other EDT datetimes to your local TZ 💁‍♀️

📸✨ One week from tonight!
Ready to level up your astro game? Join us for an Advanced Astrophotography Tutorial at the Westport Observatory. We’re diving deep—gear, capture, processing, and the tricks that turn “nice” into wow. If you already shoot the sky and want better results, this is for you.

We Installed a GIANT Space Dome on a Mountain!

We drove from Melbourne to Toowoomba… via Coonabarabran (because apparently we can’t help turning a dome install into a full-blown road trip).

Stopped in Coonabarabran for a site visit on a future project — then headed to Mt Kent Observatory to install a brand new 4m Scopedome.

There were telescopes, late nights, too many servo pies, and one absolutely massive dome. Just another casual week in astro-land. 🔭🛻🌌
