WE HAVE A STUNNING NEW CLOSE UP VIEW OF THE HELIX NEBULA FROM WEBB!!! 🌌

$A closeup of a small section of the Helix Nebula, an expanding shell of gas and dust. Thousands of orange and gold comet-like pillars stream upward from the bottom, like thin liquid blown up a sheet of glass. These pillars are around the circumference of the arced shell, which forms a partial orange semi-circle at the bottom. The pillars are more numerous and denser at the bottom, and darker red. They fade to orange and then yellow in the arc. In the top two-thirds, they are thinner and more golden, and it’s easier to see the black background of space. Several bright blue stars, some with diffraction spikes, are scattered throughout. A few larger stars are on the right side. "Webb" is labeled on the right in transclucent white.

Can the US afford to lose its 1.1 million international students?

International students contributed $43.8bn to the US economy last year and created 378,175 jobs nationwide.

I'm kind of mad that RFK, Jr. ruined Autism Acceptance month by spreading a bunch of misinformation, outright lies, and a eugenics agenda, so I'm channeling that bad energy into doing something. I want to send copies of my zine to as many members of Congress as I can manage.

Dear scientists at US universities: Trump/Musk continue to freeze your grants. NIH is not reviewing grants nor funding them in council. This is a backhanded, legal method to effectively stop NIH grants. See thread and linked article. Are we going to “keep our heads down” about this?

What the NSF is doing this week is damaging *generations* of scientific researchers and American investments in science. Billions of US tax payer dollars in investment, being thrown away, because of a fucking fishing expedition that is intended to terrorize and set the stage for a real witch hunt.

Mike Johnson represents a state whose largest city was built below sea level behind levees sandwiched between the ocean and a massive river on hurricane alley, but he doesn’t want to give aid to CA because their policies invite natural disasters.

Happy birthday to “the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy”! Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin completed her thesis on January 1st, 1925*. She found that stars are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, counter to the idea of the time, that the Sun and Earth were made of similar materials.

Title page from the thesis:

“It’s the antithesis of all these book banning states that you see,” he said. “I’m incredibly proud to have signed it, but also acknowledge that America — and this is yet another good example — is becoming a patchwork quilt country. It really matters where you live.”
