Are you interested in space exploration? Do you speak Italian?

The Italian Space and Astronautics Association (ISAA), a no profit for space outreach I'm on the board of, now runs its own Mastodon instance https://social.isaa.it (accounts only for board members & collaborators). Follow:

@astronauticast Human-curated news, info, resources.

@astronautibot Bot that posts events, data, images, links.

At @amoroso@social.isaa.it I post in Italian about space & astronomy.

You've heard of a sound echo: Sound bounces off of a surface and reflects back, causing a delay.

Did you know that light echos are also a thing? If there is a flash of light from something like a supernova, that light can hit interstellar clouds of dust and then reflect back, giving you light from the original supernova but on a delay.

We can use this delayed light to learn about what kind of star blew up in the supernova.

I just learned about the COOLEST program! It's called "Letters to a Pre-Scientist" and if you sign up, you volunteer to be a pen pal to a kid and help them get excited for a career in a #STEM field! It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for #ScienceMastodon to do some good in the world. The program is open to anyone in STEM over 18, all around the world. Please share this post, they need more volunteers!

India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to attempt a soft landing at the moon's south pole around 8:34 am ET. If successful, they would be the fourth country to land on the moon and the first to do so at the south pole. Follow the livestream here:

Update: "We have achieved soft landing on the moon. India is on the moon!!" I'm honestly in tears. What an accomplishment, congratulations to ISRO!
