People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die

Current mood: Thinking of all the unsung women who take care of myriad household obligations while still maintaining full-time jobs. Having dealt with the landscapers, the bank, and the cable company in just the last four days: I See You.

Happy birthday Hubble!

I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope your memories will bring you comfort. She sounds like the sweetest girl.

I love the alt text!

Your regular reminder that the US had a pain-stakingly negotiated and workable deal with Iran when Trump came to power, but he tore it up. He's now desperately trying to secure a deal much worse than the one he set aside.

In the space realm, no one wants to compete with Artemis. That’s a losing proposition.

We cannot normalize this, and we must continue to fight.

Trigger warning: suicidal thoughts.

Shades of Webb’s perfect launch on an ESA Ariane rocket!

Ah yes, I had forgotten the annual tradition of posting joke papers to arXiv

This is depressing, but also not surprising. Shout out to all the women dealing with these challenges.

It’s been a busy week for us.

This was a fun news story.

We’ve been overdue for an updated landing animation…

We got one for Titan discovery day!

My resignation letter

In seventh grade, I had to give an oral report to the entire class. About 90% of the way through, I passed out in front of everybody.

Awww. I saw SpaceShipOne in person when it came to the Oshkosh fly-in in 2005.

Similarly, one bad person can destroy the works of 10,000 good people.

Glad to hear you are OK! I was thinking of you when I saw where the storms were hitting.

The behind-the-scenes story on this was something else! And people think we'd be able to hide the news if we found aliens. Glad to get this story out and sing the praises of Webb. Also, thanks to @asrivkin.bsky.social and @juliendewit.bsky.social for being so responsive and easy to work with.

Always enough money for another war in the Middle East but never enough money to help people here at home.

Two images of a planetary nebula in space. The image to the left, labelled “Euclid & Hubble”, shows the whole nebula and its surroundings. A star in the very centre is surrounded by white bubbles and loops of gas, all shining with a powerful blue light. Farther away a broken ring of red and blue gas clouds surrounds the nebula. The background shows many stars and distant galaxies. A white box indicates the centre of the nebula and this region is the image to the right, labelled “Hubble”. It shows the multi-layered bubbles, pointed jets and circular shells of gas that make up the nebula, as well as the central star, in greater detail.

Wowowow - our @science.esa.int Hubble's picture of the month for March is the Cat's Eye Nebula, from combined images of #Hubble and #Euclid. Euclid's wide field and low surface brightness sensitivity brings out an external shell. Incredible image. esahubble.org/images/potm2... 🔭

You could use this beautiful story today. I know I could and did.

I would need to look up specifics, but I believe the latest estimates I saw were median of mid-2030s re-entry. So, don’t despair yet! @stsci.edu
