This post unexpectedly flowed out of me today at a coffee shop while reflecting upon the past year. For anyone that makes it through this giant essay, thank you for taking the time to read it. This was extremely personal and meant a lot to write down: tanyaofmars.medium.com/2023-a-year-...

2023: A Year of Self Exploration Rather than Space Exploration
2023: A Year of Self Exploration Rather than Space Exploration

This isn’t really a post about space. But it felt important to write nonetheless.

From the NASA JUNO mission, some fresh images of Io. I adjusted the “dark side” to reveal features bathed in “Jupiter shine”. See more at missionjuno.swri.edu

The JunoCam instrument aboard our #JunoMission acquired six images of Jupiter's moon Io during its close encounter today. This black-and-white view was taken at an altitude of about 1,500 miles (2,500 kilometers). More images will be available soon at missionjuno.seri.edu

To the person walking down Stone Way carrying a sousaphone painted like space: Keep being you, and I wish I'd asked to take a photo. 😂💙

A thing we could leave behind at the other site is "what's something that everyones that you hate, and your unpopular opinion that will make everyone mad at you?" Instead I propose: "What's something that you love that most people probably haven't heard of? Recommend a hidden gem to us!"

The Flynn with swords meme often associated with "unpopular opinions"

A few people asked me how they can process their own JWST images. It's super easy, doesn't require deep technical knowledge and is available for everyone to do right now! I wrote a step-by-step guide of what you'll need, what to expect and how to start developing your own JWST images! 🔭🧪

Psst… you can get $5 off any order >$25 from my minouette.Etsy.com shop until 11:59 ET tonight! Say, you want to send some terrifying naughty child-eating Yule Cat cards later this year… now’s a great time to snap them up!

I've had barnacles on my mind this week so I decided to draw some of them today. #SciArt
