Trump’s war on DEI comes for programs helping autistic students find jobs in STEM Programs meant to help autistic students study science have been caught in the Trump administration’s war on DEI, Eric Garcia reports

I am an astrophysicist and the Communications Manager for the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation. Recently, we lost $7M of federal funding due to the new diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility policy. It's happening everywhere. It must stop. 🧠🔭

Prejudice, poor pay and the ‘urinary leash’: naming and claiming Australia’s forgotten women scientists A new book explores a paradox: women have been excluded from Australian science for many social and political reasons, but were also present and active in it from its earliest days.

Energy megaproject in Chile threatens the world’s largest telescopes Glare from proposed green hydrogen plant could degrade views of distant universe

“This is a real threat to what we have already done there, but very importantly to the future of the observatories in Chile” -- ESO director Xavier Barcons 🔭🧪 @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the ...

Please spread the word, my 🔭 friends!

Plot showing a supernova remnant as swirly clouds of purple and white. The remnant is annotated by two dashed rings. The data is plotted as a function of galactic longitude on the X-axis and galactic latitude on the Y-axis. In the top right is a full moon to show the scale of the remnant. In the top left is an annotated image of the Diprotodon marsupial.

Could this be any more Aussie?

Aust. astro-led pre-print that uses data collected by Aussie telescopes (ASKAP/MWA) through the EMU Survey, naming what could be the largest supernova remnant on record as an extinct giant Marsupial that once roamed Australia - Diprotodon!

This Hubble image shows, in ultraviolet wavelengths of light, a spectacular star cluster, known as NGC 346, nested within the Small Magellanic Cloud. Dozens of hot, blue, and high-mass stars shine within NGC 346.

1/11 🧪 🔭 #extragalactic

This gem, released by Hubble last August, gives us a unique ultraviolet view of the active star cluster NGC 346.

It does matter. I’m listening.

Skeet sounds like I might shoot it

I love Corvids

The day’s not over

Split image. On left is a radio chart showing a squiggly line annotated with the date and sky reference, of where the pulsar was detected. On the right is a woman standing with a chart in her hand, with a large radio telescope in the background.

It's #Pulsar confirmation day!

Then PhD student, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, actually detected the first signals from a pulsar on 6 Aug '67. From those results, Queen JBB connected the dots, this was astrophysical!

But after this first detection in Aug, there was nothing.

Until Nov 28.

Is that a pavlova? 🤤😋

M45 is lovely

Horrific.

The final result of the process I'll describe below. This is my favorite Jupiter image yet--I caught all four Galilean moons, the Great Red Spot, and an eclipse (the black dot in the bottom of Jupiter).

🧪How do we image the planets with consumer hardware? A thread 🧵I’ll cover: 1) what makes planets hard to image? 2) What equipment is needed to overcome these challenges? and 3) what does the process look like? This is based on a video I made on this topic here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-fD... (1/8)

We follow you here. Easy!

Happy Birthday 😁
