We are assuming this was a planetary scientist traveling to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Starship Was Doomed From The Beginning The fatal flaw SpaceX can't overcome.

I've said a few times I don't think Musk is ever going to make it to Mars. It's always been more gut than technical knowledge, but the technical isn't refuting me yet.

A photo of the total lunar eclipse from March 2025 as viewed from the goose‘s acre, a bar in the Woodlands, Texas next to the LPC venue. To the right, you can see a small moon off in the distance, which is partially covered by a red shadow. The moon looms in a deep blue sky. To the left, you can see the brick façade at the front of the bar and the green sign that displays the name of the bar, the goose‘s acre, bistro and Irish pub.

First Thermal Images of Mercury from BepiColombo The European BepiColombo mission made a detailed heat map of a large swath of Mercury's surface during its most recent flyby.

New post by me for @skyandtelescope.bsky.social : First spacecraft thermal images of Mercury from BepiColombo MERTIS shown at #LPSC2025 skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-ne...

I know! It was great to meet you too- thanks for showing us around the institute 💯

I did! The Mt St Helens ash sample looked really cool! 😎

I got them while I was there :)

@firefly-aerospace.bsky.social

Yeah, they said I can email them photos of my art and an address and they'll do their best to mail them back to me

I had a whole watercolor painting up there too :(

I asked the staff and they said they already "packed and shipped them" apparently

I put out some art supplies this week hoping to pick them up today and they're gone too

Gonna give them 2 stars on yelp

Some of the art I did for the #LPSC2025 art wall!

Lol this one is mine

If I wasn't at LPSC I would offer! Hope you can find someone to help!

What the Keck

Chamath Palihapitiya ® Au @chamath Follow Make no mistake, just like in a private company, these are losses. America is deeply unprofitable, far away from breaking even and if outsiders stop lending us money, we will go bankrupt. So, in case you didn't know better, if you are still wishing DOGE to fail, you are wishing for America to default.

“America is deeply unprofitable” it’s a country not a B2B startup you fucking dweeb

**This would end space science as we know it.**

I’d probably be out of a job.

Successful ongoing missions would be turned off.

Future missions would be axed.

Some research centers (NASA & non-NASA) would likely dissolve.

Oh no that's terrifying 😬 I'm glad to hear she's okay!

False colour Asteroid Framing Camera image of Deimos ahead of Mars

What would Deimos look like to an astronaut in space around Mars? None of Hera's instruments are equivalent to the naked human eye, but here is the science team's first attempt. The 'saddle' between two peaks of Deimos shows up as a shadow

🚨BREAKING SPACE NEWS🚀

Hera, ESA's planetary defense spacecraft heading to the asteroid Dimorphos (the one DART smashed into), flew by Mars yesterday for a gravity assist and to test its cameras.

It took images of Mars and the moon Deimos up close.

AND THEY ARE AMAZING 🤩

I'm unfortunately guilty of this 😭
