A Way of Flying, from the series Los disparates (The Follies) by Francisco Goya, who died #onthisday in 1828. Produced 1815–23, it would be the Spanish artist's last major series of prints. See more here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/t... #OTD

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Fun fact: I'm currently working on National Park Service Historic American Engineering Records (HAERs) for the Perseverance backshell and parachute (because of the Ingenuity photos). And just today, I wrote about the EDL video that shows the parachute unfurling from below! youtu.be/4czjS9h4Fpg?...

Another shout out to Victor Glover as Artemis II's pilot. While coming back in for their re-entry, NASA mentioned repeatedly how clean and perfect their trajectory was.

Its not a business! It’s a public good! And it’s not “running out of money,” either. Republicans deliberately created this illusion by requiring USPS to prefund pensions *75 years* into the future. Literally no other agency (or business, lol) requires this.

A painting of a bust of the head and neck of a woman, made architectural through the overlay of stairs and pillars decorating smaller rooms populated by small human figures. Three sliced oranges are in the foreground to the left of the bust.

A sculpture of a human hand out of what looks like marble. In the palm of the hand, the marble is excised to show metal gadgetry, making it look cyborg-like. An oil painting of two carved faces in what looks like a wooded landscape is in the background

I caught Daniel Arsham’s solo exhibition the last day it was open T Galerie Perrotin here in NY. I really love the way he explores architecture, memory, and tech in his work.

Psychogeography: A Purposeful Drift Through the City If geographers “carve,” “draw,” or “write” the earth, psychogeographers add a zest of soul to the mix, linking earth, mind and foot.

“On Saturday evenings,” wrote opium-eater and peripatetic Thomas de Quincey, “I have had the custom, after taking my opium, of wandering quite far, without worrying about the route or the distance.”

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This image circulating is fake. The front porch was much larger than that and held several Navy recovery personnel as well. Real images can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/nasah...

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

It represents the best of us. It was a peaceful mission that constituted an international effort; the ESA was involved and built the service module, there was a Canadian astronaut onboard... It's a glimpse, even in dark times, of all we *can* be both as a nation and, more importantly, as a species.

There are certainly good reasons for every step in the crew recovery process but at this point it feels like they’re just putting the astronauts through as many of the most dramatic methods of transportation they can think of in one day

Three of the four Artemis II cubesats were meant to fire propulsion systems to raise perigee and stay in orbit. Only one (Saudi Arabia's SWC-1) managed to do so; TACHELES and K-RadCube reentered at first perigee.

Artemis II Return
NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, along with Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. The Artemis II test flight launched on Wednesday, April 1, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin its 10-day journey around the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. NASA’s Landing and Recovery team and the U.S. military are coordinating efforts to extract the Artemis II crew from the Orion spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Josh Valcarcel
