It's still rare for an #asteroid to be detected on impact trajectory. Bigger shooting stars at night are mostly missed opportunities. As a #spacegeek but not an astronomer, I'm not in their discussions. So I noticed it on a monitor on my wall. It mostly displays aircraft activity around PDX and the Pacific Northwest. But 2 panels are space related, my own software, using NOAA aurora & NASA asteroid data. #2026JN4 stood out as a blue line on the close asteroid passes. #astronomy #LowFlyingRocks
Christine Malec@Gur814 As someone who relies on alt text and consults on it for the Chandra X-ray Observatory, I'd like to thank you for yours and compliment you on it. #SpaceGeek
"NASA released thousands more photos from Artemis II" by @NBCNews / Denise Chow - A selection from many images including the lunar far side, craters and views of Earth from far away. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/nasa-thousands-photos-artemis-ii-moon-mission-rcna343733 #MoonJoy #Artemis #Moon๐ #Orion #space #spacegeek
"Virgin Galactic reveals new ship, but itโs running out of time and cash" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - No revenue while not flying, having retired old spacecraft model. Lots of expenses building a new spacecraft at a new factory (moved from Mojave CA to Mesa/Phoenix AZ). Quarterly financials show cash reserves falling fast enough to question if flight testing can be done in time. https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/05/the-suborbital-space-tourism-industry-is-on-life-support/ #NewSpace #VirginGalactic #aviation #avgeek #space #spacegeek
