The @MeteoraFR community recently had a song contest to have a hype song for streams and such. While I of course did not enter the contest, I did make a song for fun (OK a whole bunch of them) whipped this video up to go with it. No it's not metal but I still think it slaps 🇫🇷

A meteorite that crashed into a New Jersey home is now considered one of the most scientifically valuable meteorites ever recovered because it contains the building blocks of life, astronomers say.

#MeteorSighting#: Eyewitnesses in Oregon and Washington reported a bright fireball seen the night of Aug. 30 at 8:32 p.m. PDT. The fireball was spotted at an altitude of 52 miles above the western slope of Mount St. Helens. Moving west at 48,000 mph, the object traveled some 80 miles through the upper atmosphere before disintegrating 33 miles above Astoria, Oregon. This fireball was not associated with any meteor shower, and meteorites are not thought to have been produced when the object fragmented.

#MeteorSighting#: Hundreds of eyewitnesses in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia reported a bright fireball in the early morning hours of Aug. 14 at 12:48 a.m. PDT. The fireball was first spotted above the Washington town of Soap Lake, moving north at 33,000 mph. It traveled 36 miles through the atmosphere before fragmenting above Sim’s Corner. When it broke apart, the fireball unleashed an energy of 10 tons of TNT, creating a pressure/shock wave that propagated to the ground. Doppler weather radar indicates that some small meteorites may be on the ground in the area. This fireball was not part of the currently active Perseids meteor shower.

THE WEEK IN BUILDING The easiest way to measure a community is by how much noise it makes. The better way is to look at what its people actually ship. This week, Thailand shipped. 52 lessons. 4 volumes. 1 complete Solana Programs series. @moviendo_me completed his full Solana Programs series, turning 52 examples into a practical resource for builders. @ARTHA_WORLD kept building the future on multiple fronts. The team released the fourth Bangkok 2099 film sequence, moved the ARTHA Wallet into active beta testing with in app swaps, and continued development of the ARTHA Signal Bot. @nexusolapp rebuilt the machine. A major platform overhaul went live with a redesigned Project Directory, individual project pages, social sentiment graphs, an early knowledge graph, a new Search Terminal, and more projects added to the ecosystem. @ribhfinance is rebranding to Accrium. A rebrand marks the next chapter for the team, with Accrium launching its new landing page and sharpening its focus around working capital financing for the robotics industry. A name change is easy. Changing the story of what you are building is the real work. @Onlyfrentrade is building the trading platform you can actually own. The idea is simple: Create your own community. Trade directly inside it. Turn a Telegram group into a trading experience owned by that community. The team is working toward @solana + Robinhood trading with a FOMO style experience and 0% trading fees, followed by Prediction Markets and Event Contracts powered by @Polymarket Perps. Spot. Prediction Markets. Event Contracts. The bigger idea is community owned financial infrastructure. Someone also built a game about surviving a Solana startup. @xlusitaniae spent the weekend building a browser game where you run a Solana startup for twelve months and try not to become the exit liquidity. And the community kept expanding. @wizardoffloz helped organize the first Pattaya meetup and is already working toward the Pattaya Buildathon. @Wesgoa captured the builder energy around Superteam coworking and the @MeteoraEco workshop. @validotxyz brought the Solana @EcosystemCal to Bangkok, creating another opportunity for the local community to connect IRL. @timbo_xyz joined the ecosystem call and is quietly preparing the internal launch of Learnspace v2 with Thai students. @0xODPT kicked off another testing phase through bounties connected to Solana Summer House and @solanaspaces @watchverta wrapped up August with its latest monthly recap. @0xdarlington is digging into the rails underneath the rails He broke down what makes @chainrails_io different from the ramps and bridging infrastructure builders have become familiar with, opening the conversation around how crypto teams move value across ecosystems. And @4oko4ow just teased something on X about @portfi_ No details yet. Just enough to get everyone guessing. Go drop your prediction Different people. Different products. Different stages. But the same underlying behavior: Show up. Build something. Ship it. Bring others with you. That is the community we are building in Thailand.
