This would end space science as we know it. I’d probably be out of a job. Successful ongoing missions would be turned off. Future missions would be axed. Some research centers (NASA & non-NASA) would likely dissolve.

Open this image up fully. Look to the top right. That's Phobos, one of the moons of Mars. And that bright point of light? Earth.

Just so we all understand, the point to this is to privatize weather forecasting. You'll have to pay for weather forecasts. Private companies like starlink will own the weather satellites. There will be no long-term research on improving forecasts

How about some science and engineering art? I created this piece of Europa Clipper in the vacuum chamber was for a 6"x6" community show. Painted in acrylic gouache.

Having undergraduate workers is great. Once you get them up to speed, they basically work autonomously and then come back every n weeks with new completed stuff that I now don't have to do. Plus they're learning a lot! It's a win-win!

IMAP had a science team meeting this past week... It's amazing what you can accomplish when you put the engineers (me) right next to the experts (scientists) but wow it was exhausting!

Flyby success! Solar Orbiter swept past Venus last night, using the planet's gravity to adjust its orbit and grant it a new view of the Sun's polar regions. Everything went as planned 🕹️🛰️✅

I'm reviewing applications for an REU and one of the students said she watched crash course videos when her high school didn't offer a physics class ... And I just loved that.

i went to the store to buy frames and ran into a couple in the paint aisle who were trying to make some textured abstract art from an online trend. I helped them with a few questions, and overall it was a very nice interaction! I love when people try art!

Nothing like time formats to make you sound insane. "Yes, your time is 0.001635s off from mine because MY format uses the solar system center as a reference frame while YOUR foolish time uses Earth as a center which is obviously ridiculous." Thanks relativity!

🚨G3/STRONG geomagnetic storming is now occurring. 🚨 Europe should be out as soon as it is dark! Aurora down to mid-latitudes is possible tonight with active motion and overhead displays at times. This has been the best aurora show since the October 2024 storm. What a way to welcome in 2025!

Update on the rumored shark tank inside the biotech building: I asked a few other people who work in that building and they didn't know anything. But they did tell me there is a python (perhaps multiple pythons?) More investigation is needed.

The past year has shown the remarkable things humanity can achieve. One, accomplished just days ago, was a probe’s flight through the corona of the Sun. No other spacecraft has ventured so close to a star, nor has one ever reached such high speeds. 🧪🔭 #space #science
