The earth (one celestial body) is partially obscuring the sun (another celestial body) relative to the Blue Ghost lander (the designated observer).
It’s an eclipse.


If the sun passes in front of the moon, we’ve got a fucking problem.


I use Voyager and a lack of instance name, either on users or in communities, means it’s the same as mine.
Do you see any that say .world, or just others?


It’s just about what you can see, and who can see you. For maximum content and interaction pick one that defederates, and is defederated by, as few instances as you can find.
Some good ones to try: Lemmy.zip, startrek.website, and lemmy.dbzer0.com, but maybe wait until this blows over to commit to dbzer0 unless you’re cool with losing federation to .world, I understand there is a lot of stuff there.
I’m on my ninth Lemmy account, I ditch them after I think I’ve dropped a few to many PII breadcrumbs, I’ve used all of these multiple times and they’re all good.
I started on .world like you, but now that you’re here there is no reason to let .world mods curate your experience.
Also, you can always maintain multiple different accounts.


Yeah, adding in- as a prefix often does mean that, but it can also mean in, on, or into (among others) as a prefix or just part of the core word. And in this case inflammable comes from adding the suffix -able to inflame, a word that already starts with in- in it’s into meaning. And one definition of inflame is “to burst into flames.”


I’m not sure this is correct, but I’ve heard that flammable and inflammable being used as synonyms is recent. Originally, inflammable meant able to burst into flames without a significant ignition source. Like a pile of oily rags or something that could catch fire because it was left out in the sun or just got too warm.

They’re not even against capitalism. They only pay lip service to anti-capitalism.


In my experience, in context people often do drop the “the Great” and just say Alexander.
You can do that, won’t even hurt. A car battery is capable of providing a lot of amps, but you can’t push current, you can only pull it, and a car battery is only around 14 volts.
I wouldn’t do it across your chest though, unless you’re sure your heart is healthy, and maybe not even then. Even low current can fuck with your heart.
