For those saying “why not Starlink”. What they can get with 4G is to blanket a very wide area with coverage, and in this area several devices can get fast data access, and importantly the devices can be cheap, very small and very low power (rovers or people). The base station is also relatively cheap and small. Starlink around the moon implies a whole bunch of satellites ($), a ground terminal ($), and devices that use large, not very mobile, expensive phased array ($) dishes that need line of sight.

Completely unworkable. Going back to earth would increase latency by several orders or magnitude, making it useless. Putting a bunch of low orbit of satellites around the moon would be even more orders of magnitude more expensive. A local 4G station gives you wide area access with the right performance at the right price.

That looks really familiar...

For Uranus / Neptune, what was the color you actually captured since this one is “adjusted”?

Ah, thanks! I’ll try it.

What is this averted vision business you speak of?

One is the things that blew my mind is when I found out that the reason Andromeda is so hard to spot in the sky isn’t that it’s small, it’s because it’s so faint. It’s actually much bigger than the moon in the sky!

It’s not like you’ll be able to do anything about it if it happens in YOUR part or the universe. :)

You talk about the velocities of dark matter. How DO we measure the velocity of dark matter?

Octodog is funny not because it’s a play on octopus but because it’s a play on Octomom.

(Looks up Octomom to see what she’s up to) wait what… she ended up in porn?

Why would you want to do that.
