- cs702 1y agoJust, wow. I've never seen anything like that. Thank you for sharing it on HN!
- lbeckman314 1y agoWe're spoiled in terms of cool astronauts! A couple of personal favorite posts: 1. Jonny Kim: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKkj52PuO6h/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DKkj52PuO6h/ > My first time-lapse. Thanks to some instruction and tips from @Astro_Ayers, I caught my first aurora. After seeing the result, I told her this felt like fishing. Prepping the camera, the angle, the settings, the mount, then setting your timer and coming back to hope you got a catch. And after catching my first fish, I think I’m hooked. Thanks, Vapor! ——— 2. Don Petit: https://old.reddit.com/r/space/comments/xbmhz4/i_captured_something_most_astrophotographers_can/ https://old.reddit.com/r/space/comments/xbmhz4/i_captured_so... > These are Star Trails taken from my previous mission to the ISS, Expedition 30, in 2012. I call it "Lightning Bugs."... In the photo, stars make arcing trails in deep space, while a huge thunderstorm pounds Earth below as seen from the time history of lightning flashes. https://web.archive.org/web/20250215124004/https://blogs.nasa.gov/letters/ https://web.archive.org/web/20250215124004/https://blogs.nas...
- Synaesthesia 1y agoThe video of the sprite lightning in Tibet blew me away. https://x.com/DarshanRajguru5/status/1940829392269463943 https://x.com/DarshanRajguru5/status/1940829392269463943

- MisterTea 1y agoThis is incredible. I'd like to know what the physical process is here in terms of the colors and current paths. Is the red light a product of hydrogen gas disassociated from water vapor? Spectral phenomena of glow discharge?

- falleng0d 1y agoOh yes, let's everyone stop posting links to twitter because someone disagrees with the political views of the owner. So much for having some tolerance right? please keep this kind of rhetoric to reddit
- throwaway290 1y agoMeanwhile supporting X and its owner is rhetoric that actually deserves to be kept not even to Reddit but to 4chan/b https://deadline.com/2025/07/elon-musks-ai-chatbot-grok-praises-hitler-x-1236452802/ https://deadline.com/2025/07/elon-musks-ai-chatbot-grok-prai...
- vintagedave 1y agoIn all seriousness, drawing a line once we reach Nazis is absolutely fair. That is not something to tolerate.
- vintagedave 1y agoIf you need context on this, try: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/grok-praises-hitler-gives-credit-to-musk-for-removing-woke-filters/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/grok-praises-hit... There's always someone saying, 'not yet' when others draw a line. Question is, are you going to be that someone, or are you too going to draw a line? I left Twitter/X when Musk did that Nazi salute. I have not returned. That was a line.
- tristramb 1y agoThere are some things that you should not be tolerated. Greedy, manipulative, lying bullies are one of those things.
- jekwoooooe 1y agoTriggered much? I’m expressing my free speech by refusing to use his neo nazi website and encouraging others to avoid it too. Why do I have to tolerate him?
