It's Stephen Hawking's birthday. The occasion to share this fantastic video he produced as part of his Genius documentatry series. Hawking elaborates on our place in the Universe, including our membership to the Laniakea supercluster of galaxies that we discovered back in 2014.

We really ♥️ this piece from John Hawks on humans looking at the stars, especially how he picks up African #huntergatherer cosmologies on the link of the #Moon to #Menstruation 🩸
Right now I'm involved in one of the MOST important papers of my life with Hadza hunter-gatherer experts on Hadza beliefs and practice around menstruation, hunting and the moon.
The key here is no one understands Hadza #Epeme--their moon-scheduled ritual for healing and good hunting--unless they also understand menstrual beliefs and practice.

We're doing a fun event, the day after 🌕 (Thur Nov 6) at Love Shack, on the #Moon in human origins and #Hadza lunar #cosmology

@ehtelescope ☝️ Event Horizon Telescope, the global network of telescopes which captured the first image of a supermassive black hole (yes, that one), studies extreme phenomena of the universe and is working on new discoveries. And they have just landed on the fediverse with an official account.
Hello Mastodon!
We’re the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) - a global network of telescopes working together to study black holes and other extreme cosmic phenomena.
In 2019, we captured the first image of a supermassive black hole (M87*), followed in 2022 by Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.
Follow @span ehtelescope for scientific updates, behind-the-scenes looks at our worldwide collaboration, and the latest discoveries from the edge of space and time.

💥 What Will the Betelgeuse Supernova Be Like - And Will It Hurt Us? • Universe Today
｢ It will be visible during the day. It will be brighter than any planet. It will be almost as bright as the full moon. You'll be able to read a book by the light of the Betelgeuse supernova at midnight ｣
