Hopefully Voyager 1 can survive until later. In this 2025, Voyager 1 has been at a distance of 25.0 billion kilometers from Earth and will continue to fly away until later even when contact with Earth is lost in about 2036. It is the most distant human-made object from Earth.

Thousands of rockets have launched into space over the last several decades. But what would it take to build an elevator that goes from Earth to space? Thousands of meters of cable, for starters. @sciencefocus has more on this impossible-sounding idea that more people have been giving serious thought over the years.

“Who Owns Outer Space?”
CBC’s Ideas broadcast astrophysicist and co-director of the Outer Space Institute Aaron Boley’s delivery of the 2024 Dan MacLennan Memorial Lecture in Astronomy
I definitely recommend a listen or a read:

”One small step for a Birb”
Part of my birb wall calendar.
For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 5: No Place Like Home, a portrait of Earth, our Moon, and even a glimpse of Mars off in the distance.
I painted this for The Northern Alaska Environmental Center’s Earth Day event this year, and it went to its new home later in the summer.
I miss it, it was huge and I liked looking at it hanging on my wall.
