The premiere of “The James Webb Telescope: Are We Alone?” originally scheduled for tonight at 8pm (Eastern) on CNN’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper has been postponed due to recent events in the Middle East.

Ori Fox❓ Anderson Cooper I can confirm the zingers from Ori Fox❓ because I was there with him and Tea Temim at STScI for the interview! Here is what the layout looked like. Having expressed so many profound thoughts, I’m eager to see which sound bites from Ori Fox❓ made the final cut.

“The James Webb Telescope: Are We Alone?” premieres Sunday, April 14, at 8pm ET/PT on CNN.

Tune in for an inside look at the most powerful telescope ever built and the discoveries it has unlocked. #NASAWebb youtube.com/watch?v=m_QM7l…

Excited to be featured on Anderson Cooper with such an all-star cast talking about #jwst . In anticipation of your questions: It was all pre-recorded and I never met Anderson, but I definitely had a few zingers. We'll see what makes it into the final cut. Sunday night at 8pm!

On April 3, our Swift Observatory resumed science operations following a successful software update, which enables the spacecraft to function using only two gyros. The spacecraft otherwise remains in good health. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/49F27Al

The 2024 solar eclipse is just around the corner and DC Public Library has you covered. 🕶️🌕

✅ Update 20 March: first results just announced confirm successful operations, ESA's Euclid mission's sharp vision is restored. The initial analysis of #Euclid ’s data validates the de-icing approach devised by the team.

This is something Danny Milisavljevic would endorse.

Give grace & understanding to our NASA friends. They can’t print money.

“We have few choices in this budget environment & must make painful decisions” is an easy & inarguable out to every complaint.

Congress, however, can quickly act to #SaveChandra savechandra.org

Thank you Aspen Center for Physics!

Sold out house for a public talk on the next big thing (Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope of course) for Profs and Pints at Penn Social.

Julie doing a great job impressing Bill Nelson!

Looking for something to do next Tuesday? Come down and check out my talk on #JWST and NASAs next big telescope, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

Big news: NASA's next Mid-Ex mission for all-sky UV spectroscopy. The UV has been a critical part of time-domain research ( #TDAMM ). Our very own #TSST member Suvi Gezari is a critical part of UVEX...

and will now be tweeting apparently. What's the handle NASAUniverse ?

It was a special day STScI. The auditorium was packed for the first time since Covid to welcome our new director Jen Lotz! It's the dawn of a New Era as we begin our quest towards being a true Multi-Mission Institute.

Plus, we got bacon wrapped hot dogs FTW.

It's alive!
