Moon landing conspiracy theories, debunked The Moon landings were faked. Apollo 11 didn't happen. Humans never set foot on the Moon. Heard all this before?

Alas, in all my prep, I'd failed to foresee the "what would you say to any listener who thinks the Apollo moon landings were all a great conspiracy"🫠. This RMG solid debunking piece is now firmly ingested into my memory. I'm now ready for anyone else to ask! 🔭

NASA plans to put a nuclear reactor on the moon. Here's what that means NASA is accelerating plans to have a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030.

In my prep for LBC📻 on the fab life of Astronaut Jim Lovell RIP, I saw this 🤯 from new NASA Administrator Duffy:
"We wanna get there first and claim that for America"
Does he not know or not care that such an act would be prohibited by the 1967 Outer Space Treaty?🧪🔭

The image shows Saturn’s rings from their unlit side, where the light and dark areas are reversed compared to a typical view. The rings appear as concentric bands of light and dark gray, with the central B-ring looking darker than the brighter surrounding rings. The background is black space, with Saturn’s large, dark shadow on the right. At the top left, the moon Tethys is a faint, small bright dot. The image feels ethereal, with sharp contrasts between the rings and space.

🧵
This spectacular image, resembling a photographic negative of a front view, features Saturn's magnificent ring system from the unlit side of the rings, that is, the side not in direct sunlight.

Starts With A Bang podcast #120 - Exoplanet biosignatures In the search for life in the Universe, the ultimate goal is to find an inhabited planet beyond Earth. How will we know when we've made it?

Remember exoplanet K2-18b?

Dr. Luis Welbanks and Dr. Matt Nixon did, and have a lot to say about what a positive detection of an inhabited world beyond Earth will actually look like.
