RT from Astronomy Picture of the Day https://pump.jpope.org/apod: Random image from the archives APOD: 2000 September 3 - Henrietta Leavitt Calibrates the Stars http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap000903.html APOD Image http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0009/leavitt_aavso.jpg Humanity's understanding of the relative brightness and variability of stars was revolutionized by the work of Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921). Working at Harvard College Observatory, Leavitt precisely calibrated the photographic magnitudes of 47 stars to which all other stars could be compared. Leavitt discovered and cataloged over 1500 variable stars in the nearby Magellanic Clouds. From this catalog, Leavitt discovered that brighter Cepheid variable stars take longer to vary, a fact used today to calibrate the distance scale of our universe. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap000903.html #astronomy #picture #space #NASA #APOD

I didn't get any feedback from the #fediverse about my last article, but I still think this series has some crossover appeal, so I'm going to keep sharing: http://sportazine.com/other/sports-space-interlude-sports-mars-series/ #space

Does anyone have a link to proposed #space stations outside of Earth's orbit? Maybe like a light house station in an asteroid belt or something? I'm using the word "proposed" pretty loosely. It can be sci fi, but I want it to be rooted in reality.

I normally don't post #sportazine articles here, but I felt like this one might have a wider audience: http://sportazine.com/other/sports-mars-part-1-logistics/ #space #mars
