Thanks for sharing a bit of my career story! 🧡

It's been a rough path at times, but she's still traversing.

Post-drive NavCam acquired August 3, 2025 (mission sol 4619).

A fuzzy ball of gas and dust, with sections overlapping of red and blue. The background is completely black. In the centre towards the top of the cloud is a lighter patch of whitish red.

ALMA 📡 has discovered the largest cloud of ejected material ever found around a supergiant star, at an enormous 1.4 light years across! 

Yet how and why this happened is still a mystery 🤔

Galaxy Quenching In the midst of unthinkable grief, an unthinkable discovery.

I am honored to be on this week’s episode of Radiolab! The host @lutimestwo.bsky.social gets excited about galaxies with me! We talk about finding light in the darkest places, both for my research and my life. Lulu was so kind talking about my personal life and so intelligent discussing my research.

Judge Declines to Order Trump Administration to Restore Research Cuts

a federal judge ruled against an order that would restore all of the funding terminated by the NSF. some context here:

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/n...

Avi Loeb has gotten US Rep Luna to write NASA admin Duffy with a demand to repurpose Juno to rendezvous with 3I/Atlas. This is so far out of line I don't know where to start.

When I joined the Europa Clipper project in 2018, I took one look at an early drawing and was immediately suspicious about flying long, flexible radar antennas on the edges of these enormous solar arrays (the biggest flown on any uncrewed spacecraft). This is not conventional. But we made it work!

From @noirlabastro.bsky.social: This long-duration, fish-eye view of Gemini North looks like a snow globe. The motions were captured through the night, along with the laser on the right and the Moon on the left. @aura-astronomy.bsky.social #astronomy

NASA’s Europa Clipper Radar Instrument Proves Itself at Mars The agency’s largest interplanetary probe tested its radar during a Mars flyby. The results include a detailed image and bode well for the mission at Jupiter’s moon Europa.

Wow second stage win for Maëva Squiban on the Tour de France Femmes!

Yesterday was my last day as Director @seseasu.bsky.social. I’m proud of what our school community has achieved over the last 6 yrs, building on a trajectory set in motion 19 yrs ago when SESE was founded. I know SESE will achieve greater heights in the coming years — I will be cheering them on!

A pair of float rocks imaged by one of Perseverance rover's zoomable mast cameras (MastCam-Z). Both were acquired during mission Sol 1580 (July 31, 2025). They were captured at the maximum zoom setting (110mm) and feature quite different rock types.

An ochre toned image capturing a Martian landscape, with the Mars rover Perseverance's shadow in the foreground. On the lower left corner of the image is seen one of Perseverance's wheel, inside which a number of stones have sneaked in.

Percy's wheel welcomes onboard a handful of stones to travel along. Image captured three hours ago.
