5/12 The Science Mission Directorate faces a devastating 50% cut.

This is the team that built Mars rovers, discovered subsurface oceans on Jupiter's moons, and created the Hubble and James Webb telescopes that transformed our understanding of the cosmos.

A stunning view of the Space Shuttle Columbia's payload bay during a 1990 mission. Moonlit astronomical telescopes (UIT, HUT, WUPPE, and BBXRT) are visible against the backdrop of the constellation Orion. The image showcases the Hubble Telescope and other instruments used for ultraviolet and x-ray observations.

The star, HD 20794, is visible to the naked eye! 🤩

Finding a potentially habitable planet around such a bright, close star is a HUGE deal.

This makes it a prime target for future telescopes. #SpaceTelescopes

The largest and possibly most spectacular gravitational lens identified to date, known as the Molten Ring – an allusion to Fornax (the Furnace), the constellation it's in.

Astronomers Furious at Plan to Shut Down NASA Space Telescope NASA is proposing to wind down its Chandra X-ray Observatory. And astronomers are pissed.

I know there have been a few posts about this already, but it's good to see the pushback from the scientific community is getting noticed.
