Social media apps should be called data harvesting apps. They are becoming more and more intrusive, including Twitter. Its time to pull the plug.

Did we just hit peak oil? Today I went deep on how the future of energy snuck up on us in 2020: 11 charts, 3500 words, 9 photos. You should really check it out, but I will try to distill it here 1/ bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-…

Had so much fun talking to @SciNate this morning on @BreakfastNews about the @CSIRO_ATNF Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (#ASKAP_RACS)! We are super excited for what #ASKAP can do already for radio #astronomy and what it’s going to do in the coming years 😄🌌🎊 @CSIRO @PawseyCentre

The CSIRO has created what is essentially Google Maps of the universe 🌙🚀🔭 And they found more than a million new galaxies as part of the effort. An excited @SciNate talks to @cosmicpudding about what this all means.



Another country I will not be visiting... if there is ever a chance to travel again.

“Technology not Tax” eh? SA has decided to tax electric vehicles with Vic and NSW to follow and Morrison mocks EV targets and initiatives. Again we lag the world - Norway will be 100%new car sales by 2025 and even China 40% of total car sales by 2030

Getting ready for some #RASA8 astrophotography of the California Nebula with the #IDAS NB1 nebula booster but while waiting for it to rise took some 60 sec subs of M31 with the IDAS NGS1 filter. The RASA8 never ceases to amaze me.

Rosette Nebula captured with the #RASA8 , #ASI183MC and @AstroHutech IDAS NB1 filter from Brisbane, Australia Bortle class 7. Around 60 minutes of integration time. Calibrated in AstroPixel Processor.

Many urban petrol stations likely redundant in a decade as cars become electric and fuel use drops away!

With the price of #batteries falling, by 2022/23, electric cars will hit a price parity with comparable petrol cars. #Perth #Futurist Ray Wills told @G_Parker @6PR diesel and petrol cars could soon disappear all together. #EVs Listen: omny.fm/shows/mornings…

M33 galaxy photographed with 45 mins total imaging time using a #RASA8, #ASI183MC and #IDAS NGS1 light pollution filter. It is amazing what fast optics can capture from a Bortle 8 location.
