The Real Cost Of NASA Missions What is the price of awe and amazement?

They’ve indiscriminately fired 10% of NASA employees.

I don’t need to remind you that NASA’s budget is less than 1% of the entire federal budget but I will. Here’s what that looks like, it’s pennies. www.popsci.com/real-cost-na...

Moving into my own place for the first time! I'm a real adult!

Not Alie @ologies.bsky.social referring to veins as "blood tunnels" 💀💀💀💀💀

I gave a talk for PLUNCH and the UC Santa Cruz folks were so nice and welcoming! Highly recommend 😊 plus you're basically giving a talk on Endor 🌲🌲🌲

getting caught up in coding interactive plots ✌️

It's amazing how easy it is! I didn't realize how easy it was to call. Idk who listens, but it's something!

There is a global climate catastrophe underway, multiple genocides happening, a housing and unhoused people crisis, a child poverty crisis, people are struggling to afford food and what are moderate Democrats and GOP concerned about?

"Where people pee."

These fascists don't want us to survive.

Or, better yet, here's my cat

You forgot the timeless astronomer post: here's a pretty picture!

yes I'm going to take all my anger at the world out on this motion-sensor sink that won't work unless I do the hokey pokey

Sorry for the jump scare, these are dark times

Dr. Oz are you kidding me

Knew it was coming, still sad

K2-18b May Not Be Habitable After All - AAS Nova A new interpretation of JWST spectra suggests that exoplanet K2-18b is a gas-rich world rather than an ocean planet.

I recently did a stand up comedy set about the random and terrible theories engineers email to astronomers worldwide. I suspect we'll all be hearing a bunch of wacky nonsense from Muskerton on a regular basis imminently.

This is legitimately hilarious

Small but Mighty: Disk Chemistry in an M-Dwarf System Today’s paper takes a look at circumstellar disks’ chemistries, and addresses how their chemical composition can be impacted by their host stars.

Wow today's astrobite is so cool I bet the person who wrote it is pretty cool too ngl

I want to help my department implement an astro-related python coding workshop for undergrad and grads to take. Is there anything like that out there already that y'all recommend?? 🔭

Thank you!!!

That means so much, thank you for saying that!!!

Same happened for me with Extreme Solar Systems 😞 going to New Zealand is a tough sell for a poster

Really interesting bite!

The fact that no betting platform has done a commercial with Troy Bolton's famed "Bet On It" is a travesty
