  Odysseus Moon lander tipped over; new moonsFeb 23, 2024 10:32 PM PST | url
 
AP News: US company Intuitive Machines says its Odysseus Moon lander is tipped over after touchdown on the Moon, burying some of its antennae and leaving it communicating with a weak signal.
 
Astronomers spot new tiny moons around Neptune and Uranus says AP News: "The latest tally puts Neptune at 16 known moons and Uranus at 28." The newly spotted Uranian moon is only about 5 miles across; "We suspect that there may be many more smaller moons."

  Private Moon landing & a new neutron starFeb 22, 2024 10:29 PM PST | url
 
A private company, Intuitive Machines, got their lander onto the Moon today, says APNews. The lander's signal was weaker than expected, so it might not have been a perfect landing, but still it seems to qualify as the first US Moon landing since the Apollo program, over 50 years ago, and the first Moon landing by a private company.

Fransson (Stockholm University), J. Larsson (KTH Royal Institute of Technology), A. Pagan (STScI) (source)
 
Also from APNews, a new study of data from the NASA's James Webb Space Telescope says that traces of argon and sulfur detected in light from the debris of a star whose supernova explosion was visible to us 30 years ago—SN 1987A—indicate that the star's core has collapsed into a neutron star—an incredibly dense lattice of neutrons formed from protons and electrons combining under extreme temperature and pressure; "the line ratios and velocities can be explained by ionizing radiation from a neutron star illuminating gas from the inner parts of the exploded star."
 
There are an estimated 1 billion neutron stars in our galaxy, but many of those would be very old and emitting very little energy, making them difficulty to detect—and this would be the first time we've observed one being formed. It is 12 miles (20 km) in diameter, and 1.5 times the mass of the Sun. Sanduleak -16 202, its blue supergiant progenitor, was 20 solar masses.

Didn't get the next page painted today. Sorry for my low output lately! Been goofing off too hard and not sleeping enough, and I don't want to resort to squeaking out bad pages.
 
(This past weekend I finally got to the climax of an extra silly video game thing I'd been working on (it was this: https://youtu.be/yo--OCIEqIk), so hopefully I'll be able to get back to doing other things in life for a bit now until the next extra-silly project enters my head. = p)

Got caught up in silly PC technical issues today and did NOT get the next page drawn. Back to the drawing board tomorrow!!
 
I recently tried sending a photo from my ancient game dev days to Mobygames to go with the profile they have for me there, but it says it could take 'em 10 month to get to it (if they even believe it's me ; D). So today, dear reader, I give that silly Halloween 2006 plastic devil in welding goggles and somebody else's kitchen to you:

I keep drawing Earth-style moons but then again this isn't actually a view of space—we're in a big dome you know, it's some kind of projection—so maybe they'd prefer to have a dramatic huge Moon type moon over a bunch of tiny rocks or something. ^ ^)
