I talked tides with the folks from the New Jersey Coastal Coalition, including my favorite fact about our Moon and tides! youtu.be/QCzikKHeYUU?...

Hey, there's good news: Pandora is doing science! Pandora is an exoplanet mission to observe ~20 transiting planets in optical/IR simultaneously, to mitigate the impact of stellar variability on planet atmospheres. The NASA Exoplanet Archive will host the data! science.nasa.gov/missions/pan...

Learn about NASA's #Pandora mission! I joined this team just a few months ago and it has been an amazing experience working with the team to get this small spacecraft up and operational! science.nasa.gov/missions/pan...

Don't worry, the great greenbelt obelisk can't hurt you.

So it begins.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

Today, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope leaves NASA Goddard for the Port of Baltimore to begin its journey to the Kennedy Space Center. This August, Roman will launch into space, broadening our understanding of our solar system & universe. Excited to see it on the move!

And to everyone who is wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?” — it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now. So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming. For more, watch:

My reflection in #Roman!

My figures need more ears. That's why it takes me so long to get through peer review.

EYYYYY COME THROUGH FAM

trying not to be embarrassed about crying in front of all the science managers 😅 but with so much moon joy today I couldn't help it I don't have enough words to say how proud I am of Kiarre, Amber, and Victor. and so happy to have these role models on a historic lunar flight. onward!!

Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.

Because the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, if you build your habitat on some plot of near-side regolith you can put the little Earth anywhere in the sky you want & it’ll stay there, lazily meandering around just a little as the Moon wobbles in its orbit. A view of Earthset from #Artemis II.

✅ #Artemis II update: 'Earthset', 6 April 2026, and 'totality', 7 April, seen from lunar orbit, the Moon eclipses the Sun, a view few humans have ever witnessed (pics: NASA) 🔗 www.nasa.gov/gallery/jour... @exploration.esa.int l

If you look closely you will see the thin shell of our Atmosphere. All the pollen that ever is or was, is contained in that shell.

This is a better one

I think each of us in academia knows people in our departments or fields who are horrible people and also know who’s protecting them. These revelations should not be a surprise to any of us.

I'll share this again for 2026 and for any new influx--well over 100 planetary scientists here on Bluesky. Given <waves hands around> they may not necessarily be posting much about planetary science, but that's how it goes. If you're a planetary scientist and want to be on the list, DM me!

If you are organizing a #PlanetaryScience meeting, there is no reason to pay for a service to manage abstract submissions, registrations, and program management. We are offering the use of our Indico server to the planetary science community for free. solarsystem.events

Lol, and let me be clear, lmao

Great news 🟢🟡🚇 customers! Starting 12/31 @wmata.com is extending every other Yellow Line train to Greenbelt. That means more MD-DC-VA direct service & north of Mt Vernon Sq will have 4 min peak/6 min off peak service frequency. Continually improving America’s Metro System.

MIL has lots of yassified santas

We have 526 scientists signed up for spring semester. We try to get that to about 1000 scientists before unleashing the teachers on the database. Wanna connect a class of kids with science this spring? Sign up!

Go see @geophyswags.bsky.social talk tomorrow morning!
