Quantum Bullshit

Space is cool and so is physics, I blog about it. Original posts are tagged space nerds. I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you comment under my posts with some science denying bs I will not hesitate to block you.

CHANDRAYAAN 3 MADE IT

[little-miss-rasputin-pageant]

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the rocket Artemis 1. It's 42 day mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!

sorry guys go back home space is canceled for today

nasa says maybe we can play space again next week

Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)

For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here

[shoyowo]

Remember when NYT mocked India for this very thing and an TOI (a major indian newspaper) responded with this? :)

They were being racist asf and we were till respectful literally fuck you if you think ‘third world counties’ can’t be better than you

[shoyowo]

white people can and should reblog this

[seriesofnonsequiturs]

and shout out to the women engineers integral to the launch

“Indian staff from the Indian Space Research Organisation celebrate after the Mars Orbiter Spacecraft entered Mars’s orbit.

On November 5, 2013, a rocket launched toward Mars. It was India’s first interplanetary mission, Mangalyaan, and a terrific gamble. Only 40 percent of missions sent to Mars by major space organizations—NASA, Russia’s, Japan’s, or China’s—had ever been a success. No space organization had succeeded on its first attempt. What’s more, India’s space organization, ISRO, had very little funding: while NASA’s Mars probe, Maven, cost $651 million, the budget for this mission was $74 million. 

This was not the only success of the mission. An image of the scientists celebrating in the mission control room went viral. Girls in India and beyond gained new heroes: the kind that wear sarees and tie flowers in their hair, and send rockets into space.”

I am going to scream everyone is reblogging this like it is just common knowledge I feel like I’m losing my mind

You could say it's... Deriving you crazy :D

Tired of math not looking cute. From now on we aren’t using x and y we’re using ♥️ and ^w^

[sadclowncentral]

we have built a robot to send to another planet and programmed it to send radio signal indicating its planned descent and here we are, calling it a heartbeat.

[astraldreamers]

Sometimes I wish we could go back to the days of Aristotle saying heavier objects fall faster than light ones and no one bothering to check for 2000 years.

[theindestructiblelittlemy]

is it just me or is NASA weirdly aggressive in their article about black holes?

can a black hole destroy the earth?

no, you idiot.

black holes aren’t planet gluttons, you bitch.

and the earth isn’t some weak-ass planet that would just fall in to a black hole like a sucker.

and that dumbass sun that we’ve got isn’t big enough to make a black hole like other stars.

you fool.

i cant believe this is a real photo

[posttexasstressdisorder]

Cool!  I missed getting to see it tonight…er…last night.

[posttexasstressdisorder]

Went to the SpaceWeather site and here’s a few from their gallery:

[mindfulwrath]

Just want y'all to know that in these images Saturn is ~450 million miles farther from Earth than Jupiter is. Also, because the speed of light is finite, you’re seeing Jupiter as it was 48 minutes before the picture was taken, but seeing Saturn as it was 89 minutes before the picture was taken.

[dahniwitchoflight]

That’s insane that we can actually see Saturn with it’s rings in the nightsky with a telescope, I didn’t know that was a real thing! I thought all the planets you could only tell by their movements in the sky but they otherwise just looked like points of light, indistinguishable from stars, but i guess its different between the naked eye and an actual modern telescope

If I didn’t look up all these photos everyone seemed to have taken with their own backyard telescopes I’d call bull but this looks like its actually real

that’s so amazing

[i-homeostasis]

dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET? 

[i-homeostasis]

LIKE THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A PERSON’S BACKYARD. LIKE YEA A LITTLE DUSTY MAYBE THERE WAS A SANDSTORM BUT THAT’S COOL I’M JUST GONNA WALK DOWN TO THE STORE P S Y C H YOU’RE ON MARS BICH!

[schro-dingus-deactivated2023030]

i hate to be rude and intrude on this post but we have decent pictures of the surface Venus too! 

[jumpingjacktrash]

#venus has a low render distance

See also below Saturn’s moon, Titan. Mars has a blue horizon at sunset so it looks even more Earth-like in this image:

Also: Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

[ultraviolet-divergence]

So it’s not quite snowing on Churyumov–Gerasimenko, unfortunately; the white specks are artifacts of cosmic rays impinging on the CCDs in the camera, as well as a rotating starfield in the background (since the comet is spinning). A few specks could be dust. But, holy shit, that’s the surface of a comet. That’s a spot you could in theory cling to for dear life sit down on. The Cliffs of Comet 76p are a place. 

If that isn’t the neatest shit I don’t know what is.

Oooh I like this

5) animals. Specifically animals that can be petted.
