Michael PorterMastodon! I'm delivering a talk to a couple of grade 9 classes in a month on the use of space (mainly satellites, but probes to other planets, comets, etc., will be included).How does your work benefit from satellites? I'm thinking of a direct use of the data, as opposed to stuff like “internet access” or “my bank relies on satellites to transfer my grant money from one account to another” 😄Anecdotes, rants, personal stories are all fair game 😊 (To the inevitable suggestion that I just Google this, yes, I can, and have, but I want the human element - I want to be able to say "someone I ‘know’ uses satellites for their job, and this is what they like about the tech”)Hashtag suggestions are welcome. (Also - question: Does Mastodon discriminate hashtags with different capitalization? Are <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> and <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> functionally different?

Spaceflight 🚀📆 2004 The level of <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SolarActivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarActivity</a> ☀️ during the past 70 years is exceptional, and the previous period of equally high activity occurred more than 8,000 years ago.
