SpaceX Starlink satellites photobombed my northern lights photos in Iceland!

I think I got the one I’m going to frame. #iceland #travel

The interview unfortunately also doesn't exist anymore, but I found a transcript. Here's what #MichelleYeoh said to me about keeping her accent on the show.

I forgot about this: ”You know how it is. That's what we are."

I'm crying again.

She means SO MUCH to me, my captain, and to see her succeed like this is amazing and incredibly well deserved.

(The site I wrote the article for took down all their pre-2019 content, so that's a personal copy of it.)

Ok y'all, a few things:

(1) That article is from freaking 2017. There is zero point in critiquing it now. All you're going to do is get muted.

(2) If I knew it was going to go viral multiple times, and be read by an audience other than Asian American kids, I would have written it very differently. Please keep in mind that it was written FOR Asian American children of immigrants before anyone else.

@pynkbites I haven't seen any writing specifically on it, but I have a feeling M’Benga's accent meant a LOT to a lot of people!!!

India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to attempt a soft landing at the moon's south pole around 8:34 am ET. If successful, they would be the fourth country to land on the moon and the first to do so at the south pole. Follow the livestream here:

Update: "We have achieved soft landing on the moon. India is on the moon!!" I'm honestly in tears. What an accomplishment, congratulations to ISRO!

It's so funny how much space on all these social networks is taken up by people dunking on other social networks.

Hey all! I’m currently not around because I am recovering from retinal detachment surgery. I haven’t abandoned Mastodon and will be back to posting regularly in a few weeks.

It turns out that space-based telescopes are also being affected by the sheer number of satellites in orbit. I break it down in my latest video: https://youtu.be/HPUubE6Yi7Q

@Rjdlandscapes Hubble’s orbit has decayed to somewhere around 545 km. Starlink’s FCC authorization is for 540-570 km

I interviewed Michelle Yeoh a few years ago about #StarTrekDiscovery and I mentioned offhand that I'd written an article about what seeing her use her accent on the bridge of a starship meant to me.

She stopped and said "Wait, that was YOU?"

And then proceeded to talk about how much that article had meant to HER and how it contributed to the success of the show.

I can't think about it without crying.

Genuine question: Is the live posting about a launch interesting or irritating over here? I'm used to doing it on Twitter, but this is different. Would love to more if it's annoying more people than are interested.
