This is a photo of some rocks and sand. It was taken earlier today, with a camera 247,000,000 km away. It was taken on Mars. And now you're looking at it on your screen.

Dusty, red rocks, and red soil. Darker soil in the middle of the image marks where one of the rocks has been displaced.

This is a photo of our home planet taken only a few hours ago! So what? We have photos of Earth taken from space every day. Ah, but *this* photo was taken by a spacecraft ON ITS WAY TO JUPITER.

From the source: "Mostly black space, most of Earth visible at the top right of the image. Part of a spacecraft visible on the left."

Star Trek – created by Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) – premiered this evening in 1966 on NBC. The opening (bolstered by Alexander Courage’s magnificent theme) was something to behold in this era. Star Trek managed to hang on for three seasons (79 original episodes) – & became a cultural touchstone.

A remarkable shot by John Kraus of the launch this morning of NASA's new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Liftoff was at 7:26 am Eastern; the spacecraft will take about three months to climb up to the second Sun–Earth Lagrange point. Roman will search for dark matter, dark energy, and exoplanets.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

Many telescopes zoom in on a single object or a small patch of sky to study it in detail. NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory takes an entirely different approach. As a survey observatory, Rubin will observe huge areas of sky, collecting all-purpose images of many objects at a time. 🔭🧪 🧵
