There's a new positive feedback mechanism for climate change. Microorganisms in the ocean need phosphate and some of it is sourced in a process that releases methane. As the planet warms we get less nutrients from the deep: less phosphate, more methane. phys.org/news/2026-04... @climatecasino.net

Assuming accelerating warming since 1980, the planet will cross 2.0°C sometime around 2036-2037.
As for where we are right now with respect to 1.5°C, check your rear-view mirror.
On this BREAKFAST CLUB detention day anniversary, I want you to know I am still mad about this makeover after decades :) John Hughes, what did you have against cool goth girls?!
There is a new crater on the moon. Craters of this size, 225m across, are expected to form every 139 years. www.sciencenews.org/article/moon...
I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.
Politicians have been gambling with our futures for decades so it makes sense that they've made an official market for it now.
Republicans hate the freedom of speech when others use it, and are particularly against protestors. In that sense it isn't a surprise the justices would support violence against us.
The Arctic is changing beyond recognition.
As of March 19th, Arctic sea-ice extent is at a record daily low, more than 1 million square kilometers below the 1991-2020 mean, and more than 90,000 square kilometers below the previous record daily low, set in 2017.
Unsurprisingly MAGA members are cowards
Paramount in the process of buying Warner Brothers and CNN, with Trump's thumb on the scale, is just the latest move by oligarchs to control the news
Have you seen the news articles about the incident? They express far more concern for the "injuries" the cops suffered that had to be treated at the hospital than they do for this Marine. The news is most definitely on the side of the fascists.
Reposting for #guitar #guitarinnovation #GuitarRevolution #music
We can't directly hear photonic guitar music so I created the Cosmic Guitar plug-in. The plug-in applies the musical effect of the photonic guitar to an electric guitar.
Hi #sciart! Meet the first member of the photonic musical instrument family, the photonic guitar. The photonic guitar uses the resonance of electricity and light to create music in the same way an acoustic guitar uses the resonance of wood and sound.
on the selling part, of course, not the exhibition email.
Congratulations!
'Fire in the Sky' reveals the core of Earth's ionosphere and the dynamics that result when unstoppable forces meet. Come check it out in person at the Art of Planetary Science show this weekend at the U. of Arizona! #sciart lpl.arizona.edu/art/
A red circle and square sit atop a bright yellow background.
Hey #sciart! "This Circle Shouldn't be There" is a view of the Earth from space through my plasma physics research. The piece celebrates the joy of uncertainty in science and will quite literally brighten your day. This piece won 1st place at the Art of Planetary Science, open this weekend!
The professor switched from vodka to margaritas but I'm still sticking with a gin and tonic.
The more serious explanation is this piece reflects my belief (and actions) that we should normalize punching up, holding those in power to account for their actions. I chose the verbiage punching above in reference to "punching above their weight class", aka the lighthearted Jupiter envy part.
Hey #sciart! This is "Punching Above (Normalized)". This piece is a view of the Earth from space through the lens of my plasma physics research. The piece reveals Earth's true intention is to become the next Jupiter. It won 2nd place at the Art of Planetary Science show, open this weekend!
A picture of Fig. 5 from https://doi.org/10.1029/2025JA033911 that has two images, both reflecting the performance of a new solution to plasma electrodynamics that works for complicated magnetic fields. While ostensibly just science the images are simultaneously both science and art.
Hey #sciart! As a physicist it has been a struggle to get U.S. funding agencies to take anything resembling art from science seriously. While I can't force the government to act with reason or justification I now have published proof that my approach to science is art. doi.org/10.1029/2025...
Supports genocide.
You can read more about my plasma physics research here (doi.org/10.1029/2025...) and see more of the art that physics generates here (cosmicstudio.io).
Hey #sciart! My name is Dr. Russell Stoneback. I'm a space scientist whose research is simultaneously both science and art. My solution for plasma dynamics, thought to be impossible, also produces visual artwork. I hope my images can connect with people to convey the hidden beauty within physics.
Art is being censored in Australia under the faluse guise of anti-semitism. Having the police judge if something is art or not is never going to go well. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Hey @asleepywanderer.bsky.social, I'm a space artist and would love to be included in your list. Thanks!
Hey @flyingtrilobite.com, I'm a scientist and artist and would love to be included in your list. Thanks!
