Mastodon! 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 #Astronomy and #astronomy functionally different? We *really* need some kind of ISO standard 😉)

NOAA has been warning for several days about the “historic” weather event starting today. The main feature will be massive amounts of rain over several days. However, other nasty weather, including tornadoes, will also be in the mix.

The screenshot text is from NOAA’s forecast discussion for the area that covers parts of TN, AR and MO. That area is labeled MEG on the map

To read the full forecast discussion for any area, open the map, click/tap inside any of the large red-outlined areas and then follow the link.
