Oh my goodness, that's a lot of opinions.

Rolling AND crispy meows.

k the way I've heard this explained is Type 1 fun is fun because you're not in the office (or at home), like going on a picnic. Type 2 fun is fun because it's memorable and enjoyable, like going on a scenic hike with your buddies or spending the day at an amusement park. Type 3 is fun because you might die, like skydiving or white water rafting on the wrong river.

here, have some bi-ace solidarity

my favorite part about this is everyone tagging their ace/bi mutuals like "look!! it's us! it's you!!" target audience

So tomorrow is a total solar eclipse

I'm sure most of you have heard about it in one form or another already and we've all seen that airbnb map circulating around. But for the rest of the world and most of the US not in the totality path, did you know you can still watch it live?

Here's the youtube link for NASA's live broadcast.

Looks like it's scheduled to start at 1:00 PM UTC (here's a timezone converter for your convenience) but youtube should also give you the option for notifications. And because NASA is NASA, they're also going to have Q&A and science facts sprinkled in.

In addition, there are also indie groups like Slooh who will also be streaming the event on youtube and their website. Slooh is typically membership-only, but the stream is free for everyone via youtube. Unlike NASA you have to be a member to submit questions for their Q&A.

I recommend keeping one of these streams open even if you are in the eclipse path as you're going to want to keep your eclipse glasses ON UNTIL THE SUN IS FULLY COVERED. When I went with Slooh for the 2017 eclipse they gave us a countdown until it was safe to remove glasses, and fair warning when the totality had passed so everyone could get their glasses back on. Here's a Forbes article with a bit more information, but the TL;DR is you should wait until it gets dark before taking off your glasses and as soon as it starts getting bright put them back on.

And for those who aren't in the eclipse path and can't make it to either livestream, don't worry! If the 2017 total eclipse is anything to go by there's going to be plenty of documentation you can catch up on the next day, or even just a few hours after the event passes. In fact, one of the local Utah colleges managed to send up a weather balloon with a 360 camera to get a crystal clear view. Here's a link to the regular video they posted and here's a link you can watch from your phone for a VR experience. Smarter Every Day also filmed the 2017 eclipse including capturing the ISS passing by for a once in a lifetime photoshoot, as did Veritasium sans ISS photos. Both are science channels and go a bit more in-depth on what it's like to actually be there. I'm expecting both channels to cover this eclipse as well. SED already has some pre-eclipse info videos out which I'm not linking to but are all over the channel if you have time to browse around.

It's not quite the same but there was a partial solar eclipse in October of 2023 which OSP managed to cover. Red's video is tons of fun though so I'm including it.

Happy eclipse watching! Hope this helps.

ten minutes before NASA's stream goes live!

OKAY so what you're going to want to do is get something with small holes in it. colander, pasta spoon, paper plate you can punch with a needle, pretty much anything will work. Hold it close to the ground and watch the shadow your pinhole casts and you'll see the shadow go from a circle to a crescent!! once the shadow vanishes and it gets dark, then you can look at the sun itself and see the corona safely!

On Monday, April 8, 2024, there’ll be a total solar eclipse – and it’ll be the last one to cross North America for 20 years. Make sure you’re tuned in to our live broadcast for this exciting event: there’ll be views from along the path of totality, special guests, and plenty of science.

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!
