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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> and <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> functionally different?

Vinz Franktake a look at the impressive sunspot AR3664! I took this photo last year :) These fascinating structures on the solar surface demonstrate the dynamic nature of our sun. Sunspots are not only beautiful to look at, but also important indicators of solar activity.☀️🔭 <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Sunspot?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sunspot</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AR3664?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AR3664</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Sun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sun</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SolarActivity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarActivity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceLovers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceLovers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AstronomyLovers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AstronomyLovers</a>

Spaceflight 🚀📆 2004 The level of <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SolarActivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 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.
