....meanwhile, in Chile....the 39-meter (128-feet) Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) project is humming along. Note the white pickup truck in the upper left, for scale. Amazing.

But 1.4M followers. Sheesh. That sucks.

Zepbound week 19. Hit the median study 20 week result 9 days early which is exciting and promising, but was helped by some yard work sweat on a hot day. 53.6 pounds lost. 12.7%. Onwards. Also super excited Lilly direct just released the last two higher doses for the $500/mo

Happy Summer Solstice! 🌞 Compared to the year 2000, summer now arrives about 8 hours earlier—thanks to Earth’s slow axial precession. Even in just 25 years, the shift is measurable. #SummerSolstice #Astronomy

Another first for #NASA New Horizons, now published as a peer reviewed research paper And an TRULY ULTRA COOL one, led by our own Tod R. Lauer . arxiv.org/abs/2506.21666 Reposts please.

11.9 Light-years from home. 6th grade science teacher. 1 chance to save us all. Watch the trailer for Project Hail Mary – based on the novel by Andy Weir, starring Ryan Gosling, and directed by filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Only in theaters and IMAX - 3.20.26

I had a chance to catch up with Jared Isaacman about his run for NASA administrator, his future and of course, jets! I'm always excited to learn more about what Jared's got going on!!! Thanks for your time Jared! Enjoy!

Get back to solving.

Includes astrophysics PhD and statistics degrees.

The Minor Planet Center has designated 3I/ATLAS = C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), or informally "Comet ATLAS", a new interstellar comet that is currently about 4.5 AU from the Sun and screaming through the solar system at 58 km/s (130000 mph)

Signs of the times in science.

summary of proposed Senate funding for NASA & NSF coming out of the CJS afaik: 33.9 billion top-line number: -keeps SLS and Orion – “also funds NASA science and NOAA”, “important funding for NSF”. Will need to see the granular breakdown but looks ~flat budget vs FY24/25

This is a stunning reversal of fortunes for NASA from the US Senate - incredible job to all of you who wrote to your Senators!! This still has to go back to the House so make sure to let your Representatives know that you want this ratified.

Oh damn. Maybe I do have adhd.

House: $6B for science. No report yet. But not the massive cut proposed appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subs… appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

Always nice to have past research results validated (and cited). ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2025A%26A.… Nice updated analysis and interesting result.

New paper! Allow me to introduce TARS = Torqued Accelerator using Radiation from the Sun. TARS (yes inspired by Interstellar!) is a rotating light sail that's capable of launching chip sats into interstellar space using only radiation from the Sun, so let's dive into how it works
