More than any other planet, Jupiter played a key role in shaping our solar system. Yet details of its early physical state are elusive. In a new paper with Fred Adams, we reconstruct Jupiter's primordial state at the end of the solar nebula’s lifetime: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.12652 🧵

What are the chances of the German Green Party supporting actual green energy?

In case you missed it, last week alone: - Denmark repealed its 1985 ban on nuclear electricity 🇩🇰 - Belgium scrapped its nuclear phaseout 🇧🇪 - Germany said they will no longer oppose nuclear in EU energy policy 🇩🇪 - Historically anti-nuclear state of Massachusetts is

Turns out that ⁦the NASA⁩ Kepler mission was good for stellar astrophysics as well. From Hidden in the Heavens:

Can confirm. This would probably be worth it.

Are neutrinos their own anti-particles? They are the only fundamental fermions that could have this unique property. But they're so elusive, how could we measure that? A brilliant experiment could answer this question without detecting a single neutrino 🧵1/11
