Our moon, runner-up: Saturnrise by Tom Williams
This image shows the tail-end of the lunar #occultation of Saturn in August last year. Although rare for any one location on Earth, 2024 saw 10 occultations – where the moon passes in front of a star or planet. Taken in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK
love that marshall allen is entering a new far-out experimental phase at age 101. long jams inside dreamy/almost-dubby atmospheres on "the omniverse oriki" with the ade ilu ensemble & the arkestra's dm hotep (pairing well with the recent ghost horizons collection). beautiful new dispatch from the still expanding @SunRaUniverse. https://hightwo.bandcamp.com/album/the-omniverse-oriki #jazz #saturn

I wrote an article about the SEGA Saturn.
For years I read that the Saturn that the 3D capabilities of the Saturn were kind of hacks added on top of a 2D machine, in reaction to the Sony PlayStation. This story always puzzled me because it didn't make much sense.
So I dug about the Saturn and wrote this article in which I try to demonstrate that the Saturn was designed, from the beginning, to be able to produce good 3D for its time.
Of course there are plenty of comparisons with how the PS works 😉

📸 Titan Shadow Transit
Every 15 years, Saturn’s rings appear edge-on from Earth. The view may be narrow, but it reveals rare transits of Saturn’s moons and their shadows.
In this image from July 18, Titan crosses Saturn’s face, casting a dark round shadow on its cloud tops.

Hello #FediScience, migrating from astrodon.social (about to close), I am joining you here (inspired by @wolfgangcramer), so it's time for a new #Introduction
I'm Alexandre Santerne (call me Alex), #astronomer working @LAM_Marseille & teaching at Aix-Marseille #University (France).
I'm expert in finding #NoPlanetB 😀 ( #planets around other #stars).
I want to work in a #fair, #inclusive, and #sustainable #research #environment, so I (try to) act accordingly. I'm a member of @labos1point5
I toot a lot about #Astronomy, #Astrophysics, #Space but also a lot about #ClimateChange and #Climate.
Since 2019, I completely boycott planes, and I travel by #train (long distance) and #bike (short distance) as much as I can.
My other interests include #photography (visit my Flickr gallery in my profile) #Astronomy#Space
Oh, in case you don't know where Aix-Marseille is (trick: in 🇫🇷 ), the image below (credit: #NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute) is indicating where I am, as seen from #Saturn...
... and where you also are, together with 8B people as part of 2M species 😀
