On days like these, it is good to put things in perspective. This image - yes, you will need to zoom in - shows the dimensions and distances of the Earth and the #Moon to scale. The furthest point of #Artemis from Earth is indicated, which is approximately 1,000 times further than the #ISS space station when it passes directly overhead.

By now, you have seen the Earth image by the #Artemis crew at least a hundred times. In this annotated version, several #optics effects are highlighted. It also shows how fragile planet #Earth is, with a super thin #atmosphere protecting us from the harsh vacuum of space.
Let's protect it.

Zonde om de prachtige foto te annoteren, maar wat hierop van optische fenomenen allemaal te zien is, is ongelooflijk! Deze foto ziet er nu helder uit, maar voor de #Artemis astronauten is het zwakker dan het onverlichte deel van de Maan, zoals je dat kan zien wanneer enkel een smalle maansikkel verlicht is.

Starlink 34343, which experienced - according to #SpaceX - an "anomaly on-orbit" on March 29, is now spinning with a period of about 18.5 seconds based on the time between consecutive flares. Observed Apr02 from Ghent (Belgium) through thin clouds. Video is at double speed. #Starlink satellites do not spin. "Luckily" there are at least 5 (five!) other ones visible, which indeed show stable brightness.

Het was deze ochtend spannend in Ukkel of het al dan niet een vriesnacht was. In elk geval is de (gemiddelde) datum van de laatste vrieskou in Ukkel de laatste 40 jaar merkelijk opgeschoven, met zo'n 3 weken. De IJsheiligen verliezen zo hun betekenis en zouden best een stevige kalendermove maken. Data via @frankdeboosere@mastodon-belgium.be

De opslagcapaciteit van dit nieuwe #batterij park is (een mooie!) 800 MWh. Dat kan je omschrijven als het gemiddelde Belgische elektriciteitsverbruik gedurende 5 minuten of als de opslagcapaciteit van 62 miljoen iPhone-batterijen. Een keer raden wat het geworden is ;-)

Ook dit jaar bieden we het universiteitsbrede #ugent keuzevak "#Fysica voor de wereldburger" aan (https://studiekiezer.ugent.be/2024/universiteitsbrede-keuzevakken/programma). Met selectie basisfysica worden heel wat aspecten van #energie(omzetting), #elektriciteit, #klimaat, mobiliteit, communicatie... wetenschappelijk gekaderd.
Wees welkom!

Not surprisingly, rich(er) countries dominate the #olympics medal table, clearly seen when plotting the medals per capita vs. #GDP per capita.
Or: the 60% of the world population with GDP below 10k$ can only celebrate 19% of all #medals🏅. #paris2024 #dataviz

#lievenscheire schrijft op de birdsite: “Bevolkingsbevraging.
Volgens de geruchten zouden ramen in Nederland vaker naar buiten openzwaaien, en ramen in België vaker naar binnen.
Gelieve hieronder woonplaats en raamzwaaistatus te selecteren.” Los van de enigszins gebiaste vraagstelling ontbreekt het nu vooral aan deelnemers uit NL. Delen, dus! cc @ionica@mathstodon.xyz
