Geologists say it parallel to the way we say potassium feldspar, K-spar. Definitely Co-spar.

Mining of the Galileo infrared data suggests ammonia compounds at Europa! Nitrogen is a critical element for life as we know it. This provides additional fodder for the Europa Clipper mission, making the first of 49 Europa flybys on March 7, 2031!

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
Hooray, they are out! I’ve been waiting and now will begin the hunt for them here in LA’s San Gabriel Valley.

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship.
No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.
Dear sweet Jesus, these photos from after they drag her away are even worse. (h/t @mprnews.org, doing the Lord's work).

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Planetary friends!
Don't want to go to Houston in March, or support an institute that's bending the knee?
Then join us for the very first Planetary Science Community Workshop in Louisville, KY on April 14–16, 2026.
It's our community. Fight for it!

Nothing so perfectly proves the concept of whiteness as a social construct than the reality that white people who stand up for minorities forfeit some of the protections that whiteness afforded them.

A career in a file drawer, succinct and color-coded. An office move, 21st Century reality and Mabel’s urging combined to convince me to retain just several hardcopies of each publication (with placeholders for many not yet printed). An adjacent empty drawer awaits Europa Clipper’s scientific bounty.

A crescent moon glows orange as it sets over a hill, aside the glow of Downtown Los Angeles, viewed from afar.
Goodnight Moon.
