📡 We're LIVE in just two hours! Fast radio bursts are powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves. New research suggests they're more common toward galaxy clusters than expected. But why? Join Dr. Lauren Sgro and Dr. Mawson W. Sammons TODAY on #SETILive as they explore the mystery, from possible additional burst sources to gravitational lensing. 🕙 10 am Pacific 🔴 https://youtube.com/live/xk66kZ3R77k #space #science

PRESS RELEASE 🔭 LaserSETI is expanding! Two new stations are operational in AlUla, Saudi Arabia—our first LaserSETI site in Asia and fifth worldwide. The global network continuously watches the sky for brief flashes of light, including unusual cosmic events and potential technosignatures. Learn more about this collaboration between the SETI Institute and the Royal Commission for AlUla: https://www.seti.org/news/laserseti-stations-in-saudi-arabia/ #SETIInstitute #LaserSETI #Astronomy #Techno...

#PPOD: On October 22, 1975, the Soviet Union's Venera 9 spacecraft made history by transmitting the first photograph from another planet's surface. Landing on Venus at about 32° south latitude, the spacecraft survived for 53 minutes in crushing atmospheric pressure and temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The bright white shape at the bottom is part of the lander, while the scene's curved appearance results from the camera's imaging system. Credit: Soviet Academy...

🚀 Could Phobos contain pieces of Mars? Japan's MMX mission aims to collect samples from the Martian moon and return them to Earth. Those samples could help scientists understand how Mars' moons formed and reveal clues about the planet's ancient history. SETI Institute scientist Dr. Pascal Lee explains on NewsNation. 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/live/jweSrTSEDk4 #space #science #mars

#PPOD: The graceful spiral arms of Messier 83, also known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, reveal a hidden world of cold gas in this view from Chile's Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Located approximately 15 million light-years from Earth, M83 is a nearby spiral galaxy whose sweeping arms contain vast reservoirs of molecular gas—the raw material from which new stars are born.

Astronomers have accumulated enormous archives of observations, and new analysis techniques could help researchers look for signals that earlier searches may have missed. In this episode of SETI Live, Dr. Ben Zuckerman joins Dr. Lauren Sgro to discuss broadband searches for extraterrestrial intelligence and how existing astronomical data could contribute to the search. 🎧 Listen to the podcast: https://sites.libsyn.com/462636/a-new-way-to-search-for-alien-civilizations #SETI #Astronomy #Extra...

📡 #ICYMI: Are fast radio bursts more common toward galaxy clusters? New research suggests these mysterious cosmic flashes occur more often toward galaxy clusters than expected. But how confident are astronomers in that result? In this clip from #SETILive, Dr. Mawson W. Sammons explains the statistical significance of the finding, while SETI Institute astronomer Dr. Lauren Sgro puts the odds into perspective. Watch the clip, then catch the full conversation! 🔴 https://youtube.com/live/xk66kZ3...

Beneath Antarctica's Lake Untersee, microbial communities offer a glimpse into Earth's ancient past. SETI Institute astrobiologist Dale Andersen is returning to this remote, ice-covered lake to study its geological history and microbial ecosystems, with implications for the search for life on Mars and icy moons. Follow the expedition: https://www.seti.org/news/preview-fall-2026-lake-untersee-field-season/

People who refuse to vote think they're sticking it to the system. They're not. When the right wins, the people who stayed home are ensuring the most vulnerable in their communities will be harmed even more. That defeated leader will very likely go on to a high-paying job. "Protest by not voting" is not a flex.

So little sum up; After days of database imports for gram and pixey both failed with errors :angry_laugh: :crying_cat_2: Ive temp upgraded the server for more RAM, recreated the databases, moved the backup to internal and tuned the server for optimal import Currently importing pixey first since that error seemed RAM related, the error in gram seems to be a duplicate row, working on fixing that It's kinda been hell for the past days and I'm sorry about the downtime..

@Pixelix@mastodon.social Hi guys, would be great if we could report Pixelfed accounts if they're clearly impostor accounts. Like directly in the Pixelix app. Just saw an account with really bad AI photos of Sandra Bullock claiming to be Sandra Bullock 😅 Had to use the Pixelfed web UI to do the report. #pixelfed #pixelix

I fucking love that as Trump loses control of his mind and comes out as bi, grifter class MAGA men are getting to experience the sexual harassment they've always served up to women.
