Museum and Planetarium Friends, Many of you use NASA SVS material. Right now it is critical that we are able to document SVS's impact. Please let us know how you are using our content (use my email address at the bottom of this page: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov). Thank you!

Armando shared this photo of farm workers hard at work pruning wine grape vines in Sonoma County. Pruning ends by early March. The workers will have to come back to remove some of the shoots that take away energy from growing the grapes that produce the wine we enjoy. #WeFeedYou

I took the day off yesterday to advocate for planetary science with new and old friends at @planetarysociety.bsky.social. One of my fave things about earth and planetary science is also something that makes the US special, so any proposed cut to science is very concerning to me as an American.

I went to the National Air and Space Museum today, which was nicely timed after a particularly hard work week, and it felt like a reminder of what we’re fighting for. And BOY what a great reminder. I got to see THE Apollo 8 Hasselblad camera… yep, I fangirled out in the corner a bit.

I really only listen to a few people when it comes to day to day economics and one of them is Kai Ryssdal and boy this is VERY concerning

To put it lightly, I’ve been on edge this week. Tonight I took a long walk around campus and caught this view of the moonrise over Healy Hall. Tomorrow will bring us a full moon’s total eclipse with a coppery hue — a blood moon. And the date is the eve of the Ides of March. Poetry.

The NASA LRO team has spotted the IM-2 Athena lander, near the center of Mons Mouton. Centre of the image, with the box showing an enlarged view. www.lroc.asu.edu/images/1409

**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.

When chaos feels overwhelming, I find it immensely helpful to take a small positive step to reclaim and protect a bit of agency for yourself and others. @signal.org

Taking a break in between work and class (all virtual today) to go play in the snow now that it’s finally sticking on the sidewalks here in DC!

Earlier the checkout line at the Eastern Market TJ’s wrapped all the way to the cheese section so a few of us got to chatting. The vibes are atrocious here in DC with all the uncertainty, but we agree the sense of community is strong. This cute tote caught my eye and felt appropriate to pick up 🧀🥂

I’m a weather nerd and I work/study earth science. I have pretty good theoretical knowledge of mid Atlantic winter weather. However. I’m also a human who spent almost 30 years in her native desert habitat and is still new to experiencing precipitation. so. *googles what sleet looks like*

Check out these US federal data archiving efforts already underway. It warms my heart to see many librarians and archivists on the front lines of organizing. You are all amazing people!

Lucky shot on my way home from the National Portrait Gallery: the Washington Monument with the crescent moon (my fave phase!) right next to Venus. I’m choosing to see this as a good omen from the universe (🤞).

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

A first of likely multiple efforts to support our colleagues at JPL and Caltech who’ve lost their homes in the past day. 🔭
