Here's a photo I just took 2 hours ago of the moon with Pixel 4a and some cheap binoculars:

I love this photo because it also showcases what the stages of the Moon are. Just a part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun from our perspective, but in fact the entire Moon is visible if you are to look closely.

So amazing!

I will try to take more such photos of the moon in perspective with buildings or other "objects". It looks so cool!

Thank you Elias for becoming one of the 200 for TROM! We need 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support TROM forever. See https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

40 people are donating so far, and hopefully little by little we can achieve this goal. This way we put very little toll on individual donors and make TROM more sustainable, and not rich :).

Towards the end of this month we will do a livestream about our plans for the next year. Stay tuned!

Our Peertube instance https://videos.trom.tf is not for advertising your company and products. Several people tried to take advantage of our instance that accepts science/tech videos in English by uploading promotional videos for their tech-company. No more! All removed!

We will have to focus a lot more on inviting proper creators that are in line with our TROM project. We need to grow our Peertube instance and the Peertube ecosystem in general. This is going to be a long journey, but how else can we move away from the giant companies that own the Internet!?

Help out of you can. Help out this direction!

Take the telescope phone mount and attach it to the binoculars, and then you can take some cool shots with your phone :). Mind you these are tiny binoculars that we got from someone, not some pro-ones.

Here's a photo that's quite nice on its own:

Now point your binocular setup here:

And you get this:



Cool :)

Here's a very cool documentary videoneat.com/documentaries/25… - a massive research center on the ice. 10 years of preparations, scientists from all around the world. No competition, no bullshit. Pure science. Explorers. Thinkers.

That's how we all should be. To go explore, discover, solve problems.

Unfortunately they were there to research the impact that humans have on the climate....so this is not about exploring as much as it is about figuring out how fucked we are when it comes to the changes in climate.

Anyway, this is a great documentary to also showcase the potential that humans have to organize themselves and do a lot of important work, regardless of the tribe they were born into.
