OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

I've listened to it 3 times now on audio - Ray Porter is a fantastic narrator! I was thinking this story was more suited to a mini-series.

Kitten Space Agency dev update - Saturn's "flying saucer" moon Pan added! Shape model upscaled from Cassini data.

Orbit of candidate exomoon around exoplanet. The planet's host star is seen in the distance at the top.

Seen from behind candidate exomoon, which appears as a crescent. The exomoon's host exoplanet is to the lower left of the exomoon, near the middle of the image. The host str is to the upper right of the exomoon. A few actual stats, and many calculated stats for the exomoon appear in the upper left of the image.

I added the exomoon to HD 206893 B in SpaceEngine - this is what it looks like. The moon is a LOT farther away than the article graphic shows - you can barely see the planet from the moon, and vice-versa.

How cool is that?

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

I wonder how long it will be before the Kennedy Space Center is renamed to the Trump/Kennedy Space Center?

I asked Gemini to "draw a comic book style portrayal of adult Will Byers from stranger things, with his right hand on the back of his neck, with a worried expression on his face, looking over his back to the left."

The Sun seen from exoplanet Barnard d, 5.87 light years away; it appears in the constellation Monoceros, near the constellation Orion. At this distance, some constellations appear a bit skewed.

Superb video included in today's JPL update for #PerseveranceRover (www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-p...). With synthetic frames and obviously, the rover doesn't move that fast, but the final result is impressive.

Updates from the Square Kilometre Array 🔭:

15,000 antennas on the ground, four stations have undergone commissioning testing using the Sun to calibrate the antenna responses.

They’ve rediscovered 56 pulsars and created their first image - each point is a bright radio galaxy go baby SKA! #SALFXI

What was Pluto classified as again? A dwarf PLANET, or not-a planet?
