Superb close-up of last night's @Boeing Starliner undock from the Space Station. Zoom in, you can see every bit. (video: 4K SpaceTV-1 from the good folks @sen - brand new, freely accessible to the public soon)

Three good parachutes & a soft nighttime landing. Now @Boeing⁩ & ⁦@NASA⁩ need to get the helium & thruster problems fixed, and put Starliner into service, safely carrying astronauts.

Are we alone? That's China's lander & rover on Mars. They just announced that they'll bring Martian samples back by 2030. details: tinyurl.com/yk2dnsw7 image: @NASAJPL /@uarizona

Strange, blasted little fireball. We've never seen planet Mercury better than the pictures just taken by @BepiColombo, a mere 100 miles/165 km above the distant, rocky surface, so near the Sun. info: tinyurl.com/j7ezsevy images: @esa @JAXA_en

When you come inside from a spacewalk, it smells like gunpowder/hot metal. Is that a fragrance you'd want to wear?

Very cool that we are starting to be able to detect asteroids before they crash into Earth. And in this case, be little enough to mostly burn up in the atmosphere.

📣UPDATE 2: We expect the ~1 m asteroid discovered this morning to strike Earth's atmosphere over the Philippines near Luzon Island at 16:39 UTC today. Thanks to new observations, we now have a very good idea of where it will impact. And the object has a name! Welcome to Earth asteroid 2024 RW1 👋☄️

Nice to see Canadian space robotics in the @deadpoolmovie - look closely, it even has the CANADA wordmark on it. You can take @VancityReynolds out of the country ... (video: Deadpool & Wolverine Official Teaser, Marvel Entertainment)

Good to know more about the history of Lebanon. I'm learning a lot from the Rare Earth series: youtu.be/HqiJ58NN1cc

Space Station morning flyover. Imagine how it feels to have done spacewalks to help build it, and to have lived there for half a year. Amazing what we can do together!

Airshow weekend! That's me in the F-86 Sabre, tucked-in with the @CFSnowbirds a few years ago. What a privilege to fly in N America's longest-running @CIASToronto airshow. It inspired younger me to fly. photo: Andrew Yee

Here’s the time-lapse I promised you from yesterday’s solar activity. Complete with Earth to scale and a bonus of the sun’s rotation. This is easily one of my cleanest time-lapses I’ve managed over such a long period. Enjoy!
