I’m not a conspiracy theorist or a flat-earther… but I find it very suspicious that they have things measured in Kelvin and Fahrenheit light-years away from earth, yet at the edge of our solar system aliens refuse to use Celsius. It just doesn’t add up…. 😜

Just before listening to this I read this article https://www.iflscience.com/nasas-voyager-spacecraft-found-a-30000-50000-kelvin-wall-at-the-edge-of-our-solar-system-79454 in which I was introduced to the words heliopause & heliosphere. Both of which play an important part in this book.

@waystation 🌌 Saviez-vous que notre système solaire se déplace à 369 km/s (1,33 million de km/h) vers le superamas de Shapley ? 🚀 L'héliosphère, une bulle protectrice générée par le vent solaire, joue un rôle crucial en filtrant 75 % des rayons cosmiques nocifs. 🌠 Elle protège notre planète et influence l'évolution des espèces depuis des millions d'années. 🌍✨ #Astronomie #Héliosphère #SystèmeSolaire #RayonnementsCosmiques #SuperamasDeShapley

I can't get my #FFXIV Switch Pro buttons mod to work anymore and I have no idea why. It's literally the only thing I use because I GREW UP ON #NINTENDO LAYOUTS, SUE ME!

#HelioSphere is weird. I like the idea, but the only thing I'd use it for doesn't work because that's just my luck 🙃

The# sun warms the Earth, making it #habitable for people and animals.

But that's not all it does, and it affects a much larger area of #space. The #heliosphere, the area of space influenced by the sun, is over a hundred times larger than the distance from the sun to the Earth.

Earth's atmosphere protects life on the planet from the effects of cosmic radiation, but the heliosphere itself acts as a cosmic shield from most interstellar radiation.

The ultimate remote IT service

After a crisis in interstellar space, stream of Voyager 1 data resumes. Before its computer crashed, the venerable NASA probe may have entered mysterious new region beyond the Solar System.

@Priyajsridhar
Do you attend conventions? If so, what cons are on your travel list this year?

I started attending cons as a fan in grad school, at the birth of Real-Time Real-Space roleplaying (now LARPing). I also costumed. I stopped attending as much during my heavy cat showing decades . . .

Now I have a regular con schedule:
#Boskone, #Heliosphere, #Balticon, #Confluence, #Capclave, #WFC, #Philcon

I try for the #Nebulas, #NASFiC &/or #Worldcon.

What's our forecast?
Delaware has made it to the high 70s (fahrenheit), with a look forward to bouncing up to the 80s and down into the 60s. Yay warm!

But the spring rains have also arrived and tonight looks like rain, after a rainy drive home from #heliosphere. I had to charge (in the rain) for about 25 minutes (for 30% added charge) for a safety cushion to get home on.

Howdy #Writephant!
I had a busy SF/F-filled weekend at Heliosphere, a Tri-state area convention currently held in Piscataway, New Jersey.

In particular, I moderated a rockin' panel on the Evil Genius in Fact and Fiction (for 75 minutes!) with Caitlin Rozakis (@caitlinrozakis), Laura Antoniou, and eventually, Jeff Warner. Bwa-ha-ha-haaaa!

As always, Piper, the World's cutest kitten, awaited my return!

#Voyager found that 75% of the #CosmicRays heading our way from #InterstellarSpace 🌌 get filtered out in the #heliosphere’s outer reaches. If the encounter with the next cloud squeezes the heliosphere all the way down to #Earth’s #orbit, life forms would be exposed to an intense #radiation environment that would riddle #DNA 🧬 with mutations. There’s evidence of such an event around the time early #hominids were just beginning to pick up stone tools https://www.science.org/content/article/voyager-steroids-mission-probe-mysterious-region-beyond-solar-system
