The core stage is the largest component of the rocket, standing 212 feet tall and weighing about 219,000 pounds […]


What does a technologist do? Technologists are professionals who research, develop, and test emerging technologies. They also find useful ways to put new technologies to work. A technologist is an expert in a specific type of technology, often within a specific field. Many industries rely on innovations developed by technologists. Some of these include aerospace, […]


What does a scientist do? Science is about exploring answers to questions. A scientist uses research and evidence to form hypotheses, test variables, and then share their findings. NASA scientists conduct groundbreaking research to answer some of humanity’s most profound questions. Most scientists start as project scientists in their early careers. They spend a lot […]


The ice-giant planet Uranus, which travels around the Sun tipped on its side, is a weird and mysterious world. Now, in an unprecedented study spanning two decades, researchers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered new insights into the planet’s atmospheric composition and dynamics. This was possible only because of Hubble’s sharp resolution, spectral capabilities, […]


The annual regional event puts students’ knowledge of ocean-related science to the test in a fast-paced academic competition. A team of students from University High School in Irvine earned first place at a fast-paced regional academic competition focused on ocean science disciplines and hosted by NASA’S Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Eight teams from […]

Poliversity.it è ancora l'unica istanza italiana Mastodon potenziata nella quale puoi scrivere post lunghissimi e, soprattutto, formattati

Se vuoi provarla, questo è il link di invito di @macfranc

poliversity.it/invite/sYo5pDRy

E se vuoi un'app Android che possa gestirla al meglio, puoi usare Raccoon

in reply to Rinaldo Giorgetti

@RinaldoGiorgetti l'istanza esegue Mastodon Glitch-soc, un fork molto affidabile di Mastodon. Quindi sì, è potenziata.
La lunghezza dei messaggi non dipende dall'adozione del fork, ma ne è più che altro una conseguenza: infatti i 500 caratteri sono necessari per scrivere con il markdown, altrimenti ti giochi 200 caratteri già solo con la formattazione.
