BREAKING: The president's budget request just hit Congress, which could usher in a dark age for NASA space science. Congress has the final say, but you can help shape the outcome by adding your name to our global petition. This is just the start of our fight. Sign the petition: planet.ly/petition

I rarely do this, but please consider donating to The Planetary Society's advocacy program at planetary.org/takeaction We are an independent nonprofit. We don't have big industry funds or government grants (a bonus, these days!) All we have are our members and donors to enable our work.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Remember that little asteroid a few months ago we thought might hit us? Here are new #JWST images of it (taken with its two IR instruments). We now know asteroid 2024 YR4 won't hit Earth, is about 60 m across, and is covered in first-size rocks. It might hit the Moon though and that would be COOL

Using public data, I've found 40 NASA contracts totaling $42M canceled in the past few days, impacting climate science, DEI, education, and administration activities. $25.2M was already paid out, so resulting savings is $17 million. Running list of cancelations here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This is what Firefly's Blue Ghost lander saw as the Sun set on Sunday. The Sun is the bright lightsource at the horizon. At top is Earth (you can't quite tell it's gibbous). And that bright star between the two is Venus. I have never seen a photo of Venus from the surface of the Moon before.
