Right now, in the center of the Sun, there's a nuclear reaction converting hydrogen to helium, producing neutrinos, photons, & positrons. A neutrino from this reaction will pass through you just over eight minutes from now. The photons won't arrive for at least 100,000 years.

Thread for anyone interested in science but worried they might not be a “science person” or a “math person.” You are a person; that is all any of us are.

This is how it feels when in addition to your childhood dream being fulfilled by arriving to International Space Station, you’re greeted by your Astro-brothers and sisters on the other side of the hatch.

There are two REALLY cool things about this visualization. 1) The black hole bends space around it so you see the top AND bottom of the part of the disk BEHIND the black hole 2) The dark part (shadow) is where light is redirected away from you/INTO the BH x.com/ScienceNews/st…

LIVE NOW: Tune in to watch the first #AllWomanSpacewalk in human history! 👩🏻‍🚀 Starting at approximately 7:50am ET, Christina H Koch & Jessica Meir venture into the vacuum of space to replace a failed power controller. Watch: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

To all those reaching to new heights: yes you can. #AllWomanSpacewalk

Everyone knows Christina H Koch & I went for a spacewalk on Friday. But do you know why? With the support of NASA's Johnson Space Center teams, we replaced the BCDU to bring International Space Station power back to full capacity. We hope Friday’s adventure invigorates the power of all who dare to dream!

Grateful that we’ve been able to use our spacious NuVu Studio Innovation Lab this year to build solar collectors and to document the process! #wums8

Lots of teamwork and problem-solving! #wums8

Some complex designs... #wums8

Some designs more straightforward... #wums8

Finally outside testing solar collectors on this beautiful fall day! #wums8

Awesome #sciart by Ss in Anika & @CVeresan's classes! Inspired to share our recent use of transit data from the exciting exoplanet discoveries of Ellie in Space 🚀💫. See full Science Friday #illustratedgraph lesson at sciencefriday.com/educational-re…

Can you spot the line graphs? #NatGeoCertified T @CVeresan's 5th graders incorporated scientific data into artwork about climate change. Scientist-artist Jill Pelto provided inspiration & guidance. Lesson by Ryan Becker for Science Friday. #STEAM 🎨 : Courtesy of Cristina Veresan

I was so impressed with my students’ final projects this semester using watercolor art to illustrate climate change related graphs. The assignment is based on Jill Pelto’s work Jill Pelto and Ryan Becker’s Science Friday lesson (sciencefriday.com/educational-re…) AppState Geo&Env Sci App State College of Arts and Sciences
