A screenshot of a Megyn Kelly Show tweet quoting a guest saying they would still vote Republican even if Trump dropped a nuclear weapon, and accusing Democrats of wanting to harm the country. Below is a studio image of Megyn Kelly interviewing a guest.

What a monstrous person.

With Earth Week just over a month away, this year’s theme is "Green telescopes for the pale blue dot": how can we build and design the instrumentation and hardware that we use every day in a sustainable manner? Save the dates and join the conversation! ⚛️ 🔭 ☄️ 🧪

love how on like instagram when you pick your close friends it’s from the list of people you follow, not from your followers. I can let my good friend Evan see my instagram story and I can also add my other friend, Yo-Yo Ma

Thanks! Just so you know, I’m not the official astrobites account, just a former author. If anyone else seeing this has something they want to let the collaboration know about, it’s probably better to email (relevant addresses are on our about page) or contact @astrobites.bsky.social :)

#nasa is shuttering the Goddard #space #flight center in a move that may not be entirely legal, according to critics. For months, our #staff #writer @joshdinner.bsky.social interviewed NASA #employees, read #senate reports and more to give you the deepest dive yet.

changing “Astrobites author” to “Former Astrobites author” in my bio is sad but I’m so excited to read what all our new authors have to write ❤️

A simple shift from "I told you so" to "I was scared this would happen" is an opening. Follow that up with, "how can I help" and links and numbers to immigrant rights orgs, labor orgs, and community health and you are, in fact, building solidarity.

nobody’s complained to me yet! judging by other people’s stories I live in a very tolerant apartment building lol

I know it’s the German thing to complain when your neighbor is playing music that’s audible in the next apartment through noise-canceling headphones but consider: I’m not a snitch

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject. 

This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.
