Show me your favorite #science themed coffee (or tea) #cup. This here is mine. I got it many years ago from my institute (maybe for the 40th anniversary of the Effelsberg radio telescope). The small telescope can spin 360°.

This is probably the most funny, clever, and serious April fools joke that I have ever seen. Well done!
But do I understand this correctly, that the risk of a cow getting hit by a falling satellite is orders of magnitudes higher that a cow getting eaten by a shark? 😱
By the way, I need some of this NZ cheese.

Maybe you should talk about GOOD things, when you speak with a journalist next time. Just to be on the safe side.

Also dazu fällt mir jetzt auch nichts mehr ein.
"Außerdem soll der CO2-Preis pro Tonne auf Sprit, Heizöl oder Gas bei 55 bis 65 Euro stabil gehalten und aus dem Klima- und Transformationsfonds KTF finanziert werden."

Psssst... 🤫 They are not supposed to know that. They will find out when they have their own students. That's early enough. 😀

Shouldn't the net momentum be different from an internal explosion and an external hit? But this would require that you can measure the mass and velocity of the fragments. Is that possible?

Die Zahlen wurden mittlerweile etwas nach unten korrigiert, aber das ändert ja nicht viel. Da stand zeitweise sogar 99% erneuerbar. Das ist aber leider nicht nicht möglich, will die Kohlekraftwerke nicht ganz abgeschaltet werden können.
Ich produziere seit Anfang des Monats auch deutlich mehr als ich selber brauche (Haus und Auto).

Nice one, but I would be afraid that it triggers somo people to drive extra fast, because they want to see when the sticker turns blue.

Unfortunately, they missed the opportunity to use a fully electric truck for the transport. That would have been even more futuristic.

This is terrifying. Not only for the orbits, the upper atmosphere and astronomy, but in general. Because one can be certain that these people use the same tactics in many different topics. We just never hear about this, because nobody is yelling about it on Mastodon.

So each pixel is the average image of the whole sky at that time? But why is the sky always bluest right after sunrise, and before sunset?
