There's a #LunarEclipse tonight! If you're in the dark region here, and if you have a view of the Moon at the right time, you'll see the eclipse. Check www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/luna... for more info and timings for the eclipse in your location. (Here on the East Coast, totality peaks around 3am.)

I was confused. When did we start calling them faces instead of skulls or crania? But no: the original paper is 'The earliest human face of Western Europe' which means something quite different to 'in' or 'from' Western Europe. #PrepositionsMatter

Do human beings have a right to extract resources from the Moon? What will the impacts be? Who's making these decisions? And what are the alternatives? 🧪🔭 #PlanetSci

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence.

That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received.

The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

AI Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes Blasted on Government Office TVs “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING," said the video showing an AI-generated Musk getting his feet sucked by Trump.

Detournement

Worst. Episode. EVER.

The Apollo 11 moon landing could be regarded as the equivalent of Shakespeare for the Space Age: open to endless interpretations and reinterpretations for new eras, new generations, and even new planets, each phrase, texture and shadow turned in different angles to mine it for meaning. Forget water ice, the target of a new interplanetary ‘gold’ rush: perhaps the most valuable commodity the Moon can bestow is meaning. This, after all, is the role it has always played in human culture.

Reflections on the Moon and meaning.

Image by Michael Carroll illustrating the sizes of some asteroids in 2013. The asteroids are shown in comparison to a US football field. We had seen the big one coming, and it just buzzed Earth. But the littler one we did NOT see coming, and it hit Earth above Chelyabinsk, creating a shockwave the blew out windows and injuring more than 1400 people. The asteroid we are monitoring now - 2024 YR4 - is bigger than the little guy, but maybe as large as the whole football field! Our JWST measurements next month will help pin down the size.

Screenshot of the Life at NASA site as of Feb 5, 2025. The sentence now reads "We share a set of core values - safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence - and they are evident in all that we do."

Spot the difference.

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

In the span of a decade or so, the debate died. It was no longer “Moon or Mars?” It was Moon and Mars, with the former viewed as a test bed for technology and governance. It became a sacrificial lamb to protect possible life on Mars. The Moon was dead and on its corpse the space billionaires started planning their conquest of the solar system. If one questioned this premise publicly, the predominantly white, male Musk bros and suburban scions of colonialism became angry. Not just annoyed, angry. As if a living Moon was a personal insult, an assault on their masculinity.

Which celestial body is next in line and why do men care about it so much?
