Multiple people have jokingly commented to me in the last couple weeks that if I’m fired, at least I’ll have more time to go to more @pearljam.com shows 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 Laugh to keep from crying, y’all. Seriously, friends who are Feds - hang in there ❤️

I love the dimensionality of today’s #astronomy picture of the day. These are all interstellar dust clouds - in some cases, dust obscures starlight; in others it reflects. All beautiful! #apod #space 📸: Roberto Marinoni apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25021...

I'm partial to images of space 😉 but WOW, this #nasa Image of the Day is STUNNING. This is Mount Everest, taken from space shuttle Columbia in 1995 😮 www.nasa.gov/image-detail...

I was looking back through the Astronomy Picture of the Day archive...the pic for last Tuesday, the day we had to say goodbye to our sweet Great Dane Atlas, was this: "Comet G3 ATLAS over Uruguay" 🥺❤️ (📸: Mauricio Salazar) apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25012...

This stunning new #jwst image showcases a protoplanetary disc - the very beginnings of a baby star & planet system. The star is embedded down in the center of the dusty disc, and new data show how dust grains are distributed ✨ Read more: esawebb.org/images/potm2... #nasa #esa #space

Y’all, it’s been a ROUGH week. This memory reminds me of the joy I had one year ago today - hearing the debut of the new #pearljam album, w/ Eddie Vedder in the audience rocking out with us! Incredible day

Just got this in the mail today, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s been a tough week for us federal workers.

Absolutely incredible! "these primitive asteroids almost certainly delivered both water and prebiotic organics to Earth" Discovered because NASA sent a robot to an asteroid, scooped up a sample of asteroid bits, and returned it to Earth. via @mashableofficial.bsky.social mashable.com/article/nasa...

Isn’t it strange how we humans willingly go into a relationship with these precious beings, knowing that they will almost certainly leave this life before us, and yet - we choose love anyway. Maybe that’s the lesson - love is worth it, always. Thank you for your kind words, everyone. RIP, Atlas❤️

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our bestest boy Atlas ❤️ He was by my side from the day he slept in my lap in the backseat of a little airplane from Pennsylvania to his home here with us. He had the best ever head tilts and the best snuggles and we loved him so much.

Look for the beautiful things. Hang in there, friends ❤️ This Hubble image features a dusty yet sparkling scene from one of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is ~160,000 light-years away #nasa #space #astronomy www.nasa.gov/image-detail...

It’s strange how utter destruction can be so stunningly beautiful. Why do we find these images beautiful? Perhaps it’s because deep down we recognize that these are our origins. Stars had to explode to give rise to us ✨ Today’s #apod: apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25010... 📸: Stéphane Vetter
