NASA Mission Spending Tracker A month-by-month spending reference for threatened NASA science missions.

🚀 New tool alert: Track NASA science mission funding month by month. The White House proposed deep cuts, but Congress hasn’t decided yet — leaving missions in limbo. Compare this year’s spending to last year’s and spot early drops that could mean trouble.

Hi there! That would be a lens flare, a visual effect in which light scatters or reflects inside a camera lens, appearing as spots, streaks, or a general haze in an image.

Our amazing #NASA #Goddard representatives speaking to #Congress on the @planetarysociety Day of Action! Keep fighting for NASA funding, everyone!

This is supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5: The expanding debris of a star that exploded centuries ago in a rare double-detonation.

It is the first photo evidence that a star can end its life with two blasts.

It shouldn’t have to be said, but instructions from the OMB to add this to an official government site is NOT OK (or professional, honestly.)

The Day of Action to Save NASA Science Join us in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 5th & 6th to advocate for NASA science.

We're not involved in planning this action, but we love it and encourage everyone to participate if you can! The registration deadline is today: www.planetary.org/advocacy/day...

Kicking Neutron Stars from the Nest Neutron stars are born running, and recent research explores just how fast they start off.

Today is Sun Day 9/21 - sunday.earth

TODAY is Sun Day! ✴️ Thousands of people are coming together at 469 events across the U.S. and beyond to celebrate the power of clean energy. Today shines a bright light on the future that we all want - a cleaner, fairer, future for all. ☀️ Join an event near you today: sunday.earth

Fascinating: NGC 1501, a planetary nebula 5000 light-years away, hosts a rare variable star—its exposed central core pulses in brightness every 30 minutes.

A focus on a star forming region seen in infrared light. Hundreds of white dots, big and small ones, can be seen everywhere in the image as they are stars! A lot of gas can be seen in the image, covering almost every part of it. This gas is what is helping the new stars to be formed there. In the upper left part, multiple jets can be spotted: they are stars being born at this very moment! A lot of background galaxies can also be spotted in the whole image

The JWST had a new look into the IC348 star forming region last year, and here's my processed image of that observation! 🔭

IC348 is located some 1,000 light years away from us and is made of hundreds of new stars born there.

Don't comply in advance.

We are watching people in fear trying to avoid pain by censoring themselves and changing their behavior before being compelled to.

Following rules of a group is pro-social behavior that is dangerous now. How can you resist this urge as a law-abiding citizen? A quick 🧵

When Neil Armstong spoke from the moon, ‘That’s was one small step for man…’ the world assumed he meant a step forward, but to NASA supporters Trump is taking NASA a giant leap back. Story and Video:

Trump administration unlawfully directed mass US worker terminations, judge rules Unions, nonprofits and Washington state had sued after Trump's administration moved to fire roughly 25,000 probationary employees.

A small measure of justice for the probationary employees who were fired en masse:

NASA workers plan 3rd protest at D.C. headquarters on Sept. 15 to decry Trump's science funding cuts 'Congress says they want to save NASA. Let's see them do it now.'

Thank you @space.com for covering our upcoming protest on Monday! www.space.com/space-explor... #nasaneedshelp #fundingcuts #nasa #sciencestandstogether

DOL colleagues & other federal employees: We've hearing credible reports that feds are being targeted for comments about yesterday made on their personal social media accounts.

We're not saying you should be silenced by fear ... only to consider having a 1A attorney on speed dial.

NASA exploration is for the benefit of all humankind. The ability to learn, discover and push our species ahead towards understanding and better ways to live is predicated on peace, cooperation, and communication. All violence only sets humankind back.
