  Another great photo! That looks like a photo you'd see on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). You should consider submitting it on that site. Source: about 1 year ago

  A simple definition and link to the Astronomy Picture of the Day would do a lot for the first few sentences of the article... Source: about 1 year ago

  Can you go larger? 16k 32k 64k 128k, and I thing 256k is just not there YET, except for astronomy footage, but I know of no model that explicitly looks at nasa APODs. Source: over 1 year ago

  There are lots of "adult" resources that are fairly kid friendly, especially with an adult helping them. Things like Astronomy Picture Of the Day is an excellent example. Source: over 1 year ago

• is there any way i can sell telescopic pictures

  I don't think you'll find a big market for that unless your pictures are incredibly unique in some way. Especially since sites like NASA's Photo of the day offer beautiful, hi res, completely free image downloads that anyone could pop onto a usb drive and have printed to their own specs.

• The Elephant's Trunk Nebula, captured in NW Austin

  I love this! I also check out the daily NASA picture every morning to remind me the world is much bigger than the current daily events. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html. Source: over 1 year ago

• Astronomy resources

  Some great ones here, another I would suggest is building a sunspot viewer (do not look at the Sun directly!) which is cheap and easy. APOD is a great resource for cool and often new pictures that I go through with my intro astronomy classes. You can have them go out and observe the Moon and chart its position (and phase too!) within a night or night to night, and either way they can figure out how long the Moon...

• Grains of dust from asteroid Ryugu older than our solar system

  You're very welcome! I have to admit, a lot of my understanding of this stuff has come from hanging out on this subreddit and reading wikipedia a bunch. But it can be hard to get guidance about what to look at on wikipedia... In which case, I would also recommend following NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day! Reliably pretty pictures with a blurb at the bottom giving some context and spurring on more thought! Source: over 1 year ago

• How I update my Twitter profile automatically using Python.

  I will use NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day API to obtain the images I will use. This API provides a different image daily, making it appropriate for this specific purpose. Also, by using this API, I know that my Twitter banner will repeat no pictures. You can use images from other APIs or your own. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Does anyone miss Io?

  A couple of months ago, there was a post on this Reddit that mentioned the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day, I believe it was a post related to Titan (also a nice place to visit). I was playing around with the website a bit and suddenly I thought it would be fun to look up the Picture of the Day that was taken on my birthday/year. It turns out that this was a picture of IO, the Giant Volcano Pele of IO to be exact. Source: almost 2 years ago
