A Florida family has formally asked NASA to pay for its damages after a chunk of an ISS battery pack smashed through the roof of their home. It’s the first time this has happened.

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career.
Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.

A year ago Bordeaux, France, began turning off 57% of the city's street lights between 1 -5 a.m. as an energy-saving measure. Despite public alarm, and rising feelings of 'insecurity', the data suggest that no significant increase in crime resulted.

Red de Sterrenwacht OBSERVEUM in Burgum!
De kosmos roept om hulp!
De koepel van onze geliefde OBSERVEUM-sterrenwacht in Burgum heeft last van lekkage, en onze unieke Miedema-telescoop dreigt blootgesteld te worden aan vocht.

Here's a neat event - an asteroid is expected to occult Betelgeuse for about 10 minutes - so if you're along the path you could see the star disappear with your naked eye.

We have a new family picture of asteroids visited by spacecraft thanks to @LucyMission's encounter with Dinkinesh on Nov. 1, 2023. And there is more to come from Lucy and sister mission @MissionToPsyche 🥳😍🤩

Your daily reminder to unfollow all aggregators because not only do they steal but they don’t care about the veracity of what they post, they only care about clicks. (This was someone light painting with a neon tube several years ago )

@SiriL_Official is my main stacking and preprocessing software, here you can see how powerful are its tools. Milky way, Moon, Deep sky... I love #Siril.

Here is a fun image. Each summer since 2019 I have been taking images of Barnard's star. Stacking them together results in a star trail of a rather different kind to what is usually seen. The proper motion is 10.3" per annum, or 41.2" since 2019.

The Rotten Fish & Dark Shark
A pair of nautical nebulae imaged over 10 moonless nights, mosaicked together from 30hrs of exposures.
The fish definitely drew the short straw on the naming… 😅

A supernova named #SN2023ixf in the galaxy #M101 has been recently observed. ZWO user Martin Bracken showed us its progression in a collage of 6 images.

We are trying to figure out exactly when #SN2023ixf exploded. Amateur astronomers, if you have any data on M101 for the last few days, please get in touch - this can be extremely helpful and may go in our scientific papers.

This parasite account regularly posts images stolen from other sites and people, without credit, now it's just posting utter garbage. Look at this: 5.5 **million** views for a pic of Olympus Mons with the huge summit caldera removed. If you still Follow it, please, *please* stop.

I case you haven't seen it already, have a little look at my website: larstronomy.com/
I've put a lot of work into it, it's not 100% done yet (is anything ever 100% done?) but the gallery is up, also an 'about me' section if you want to come to know me a bit better 🙃
