Haha yes...

I was so glad to see Italy's amazing space science highlighted but then wondered why they didn't have the SHARAD radar...😅

Congrats!!

"you missed one" 😅

🚨 NASA scientists warn: critical equipment at Goddard Space Flight Center could be discarded during the shutdown, jeopardizing decades of Earth & space science missions.

Top five Venus mysteries Envision will solve Venus is a Solar System enigma. Similar in size to Earth and orbiting the Sun at a similar distance, it is remarkable how the two planets evolved so differently. While conditions on Earth allowed life...

Venus is a Solar System enigma.

Although Venus is similar in size and distance from the Sun to Earth, it has evolved very differently from our planet.

Our #Envision mission will aim to solve some of the puzzle by thoroughly studying our closest neighbour.

Wow the banquet at #epscdps.

Wow the Venus talks are in a room with an organ! They should have told people in advance so they could plan more dramatic talks! #epscdps

Every conference facility has its quirks. In this case I was at Saturn (room) and need to head back toward the Sun (room) but am not sure how. Maybe I need help from a dynamicist! #epscdps2025

I'm sorry this looks extremely dangerous.

Please join us in congratulating Samantha Moruzzi, who today successfully defended her Ph.D. Dissertation, Geophysical Evolution of Sputnik Basin on Pluto.

Congratulations, Samantha!

NASA’s Europa Clipper Radar Instrument Proves Itself at Mars - NASA The agency’s largest interplanetary probe tested its radar during a Mars flyby. The results include a detailed image and bode well for the mission at

The REASON Ice Penetrating Radar produced good test data when we flew by Mars! All looking good for seeing inside #Europa in a few years. www.nasa.gov/missions/eur...

This looks like a department party!

This looks like it could also solve our Mars sample return problem. Look at the trunk space!

It's time to mark your calendars! The 2025 LPL Evening Lecture Series features "Space on Earth." You can attend any lecture in-person or virtually. We hope to see you there! lpl.arizona.edu/calendar/eve...

The first photos from the Vera Rubin Observatory are stunning — thanks in part to the University of Arizona, which helped build its mirror. Proud to see Arizona leading the way in space science.

By the 4th one he’ll be speaking directly to the aliens in his mind!

North America’s oldest pterosaur, a winged reptile, discovered in Arizona The 209-million-year-old fossil offers clues to the evolution of the reptiles, which have more than 150 named species including the well-known pterodactyl.

New Triassic pterosaur: "the creature would have been small enough to comfortably perch on a person’s shoulder..."

Today, *every* living prior leader of NASA's science directorate have released a joint letter condemning the proposed cuts to NASA science. These individuals every administration from Reagan to Biden, and all believe these cuts are insanely destructive: www.planetary.org/press-releas...

NASA planetary missions with AZ participation and those slated for cancellation.

What is the impact of the proposed mission terminations and cancellations on Arizona (U of A + ASU) Universities? These charts flag the missions with AZ participation and those impacted.

I really wish there were fewer mistakes in Arizona governance. Please everyone come to work and try to make sure you do your job correctly. Maybe double check the letters, just for example.

An update on the "Save NASA Science" campaign led by The Planetary Society @exploreplanets. Unrelated to TPS, I hear there is protested planned for NASA HQ on Monday morning 7-11 am to support the NASA Science budget.

Local opinion: Southern Arizona space science is in crisis NASA science dollars generate $337 million in Arizona's economy each year, so the budget bill as written now would be a huge hit on the local economy.

PSI's Amanda Hendrix wrote a really great op-ed for the local Tucson newspaper about what's at stake in the fight against the president's budget request for NASA: tucson.com/opinion/colu...

Wow! Amazing!

Oh and TGO is cassis right? So we are on that as well.
