SPHEREx is going to assemble a 3D map of half a billion galaxies to probe theories of the beginning of the universe. Not all that modest!

In the 1960s, NASA studied crewed Mars flyby missions using Apollo hardware. They were seen as stepping stones to crewed Mars landing missions. In the 1980s, the concept briefly returned using Space Station tech. From No Shortage of Dreams. 🛰️🔭🧪🚀🪐🌏👩‍🚀🌌 spaceflighthistory.blogspot.com/2019/12/revi...

A modest space telescope with an innovative design is about to search for traces of a key moment in cosmic history: the first tiny fraction of the first second following the Big Bang. www.science.org/content/arti... #cosmology 🧪 #SPHEREx

Periodic reminder that the data from NASA missions, like the Mars rovers, is public domain for anyone to access for free. All of the images taken by the Mars rovers are available online usually within 24 hours of being transmitted back to Earth. Science is a public good. 🔭 🧪

Sure, Google's data centers consume tens of billions of litres of water yearly and emit more carbon dioxide than many nations, but on the other hand, you can look up Uranus and AI will show you a picture of Neptune. Never in the history of humanity, have we reached such speeds in making mistakes
