Long before smartphones or #Stonehenge tours, Native Mississippians tracked the Sun with #Woodhenge — a giant timber circle aligned to #solstices. 🌞🪵 📍 Cahokia, Illinois (~1100 CE) Brilliant Indigenous astronomy. No aliens required. 🧪 🔭 #AncientSkies #CulturalAstronomy

Twice a year, the Sun casts a shadow serpent down the Temple of Kukulcán at Chichén Itzá. 🐍🌞 This equinox illusion isn’t magic — it’s Maya #astronomy at its finest. 📍 Yucatán, Mexico (~1050 CE) #Science, story, and stone — perfectly aligned. #AncientSkies #CulturalAstronomy

This year’s #StanleyCup Final rematch between the #Oilers & the #Panthers really came down to 1 key variable: goaltending. The @nhlflapanthers.bsky.social had it & the @edmontonoilers.bsky.social didn’t. The last 2 years have proved it. Even with generational players like 97 & 29, you need a stud. 🏒

Flare looks close to Sun-centered! That means should a coronal mass ejection (CME) accompany this powerful #solarflare, the conditions may be conducive to a beautiful display of the #northernlights for the night-facing Earth in ~2 days. Stay tuned for details as more imaging becomes available! 🧪🔭

“𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙮, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜!” ALL Americans need to listen to this woman. She may be young but she knows exactly what is at stake, why it is important that we use our voice to make sure we are heard, and why it shouldn’t matter how identify politically right now. 🎯 🎥 Credit: Unknown

This is misinformation and a very, very specific form of manipulation being employed here by NBC News. This is not a honest accounting of anything. This is the authoritarian recreation of reality in order to help the regime in power. It’s meant to confuse not to inform.

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

A US Senator was forcibly removed for standing against ICE raids. This is the line. We need walkouts, mass resistance & an #AmericanSpring. Protests didn’t work in 2017. Only disruption & civil disobedience will save our country. Democracy demands we rise — now. Walk out. Rise up. 🔗 cbsn.ws/43I8fbg

General Mattis warned us in 2020: Trump’s use of force against civilians was authoritarian and anti-American. Now he’s doing it again — with fewer restraints, louder silence, and deeper damage. Half of us knew who he was. The rest refused to listen. #AmericanSpring 🔗 www.npr.org/2020/06/04/8...

Why let a front page temper tantrum between two psychopaths go to waste?! After Musk stated #FOTUS is named in the #Epstein files & Bannon called for Musk to be deported as an illegal immigrant, Russia offered Musk “asylum” & even to “mediate” a “peace deal for a reasonable fee”!😂 wapo.st/3ThV22x

“We aspired to intelligence. We didn’t belittle it.” We reached for the stars🔭, cured diseases🧪, cultivated great art AND a great economy. Today? We silence #science & fast-track nuclear reactors to power #AI. This isn’t progress. It’s a descent into darkness. First step? Recognize the problem.

“There’s no art in this White House.” If you do 1 thing today I hope it’s to watch this clip from @brucespringsteen.net. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Please just watch & listen in silence for 60 secs before spewing the hate & the ad hominem attacks. “We are lost.” www.instagram.com/reel/DKFlpQg...

Inspired by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social and @ohdearz.bsky.social, here's what the White House proposed budget cuts to NASA would do to the entirety of the agency's Science Mission Directorate. Bloodbath is right.

A once-mighty #NASA astrophysics fleet—revolutionizing our view of the cosmos—is now being dismantled before our eyes. ❌ TESS, Chandra, Fermi, IXPE, UVEX… ❌ 20+ missions canceled, gutted, or abandoned. ❌ A generation of discovery, erased. This isn’t belt-tightening. It’s self-inflicted blindness.🔭

𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆. It’s the engine of American innovation. This President wants to kill it. ❌ NIH: ⬇️$18B ❌ NASA: ⬇️$6.8B ❌ NSF: ⬇️$5B This isn’t fiscal discipline. It’s surrender—to disease, to ignorance, to rivals like China. We don’t build prosperity by firing scientists & killing missions.🧪

BREAKING: The president's budget request just hit Congress, which could usher in a dark age for NASA space science. Congress has the final say, but you can help shape the outcome by adding your name to our global petition. This is just the start of our fight. Sign the petition: planet.ly/petition

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀. There is so much rubbish, foundational flaws, unsupported claims, & ideological motives behind the “Restoring Gold Standard Science” Executive Order. As Carl Sagan said so eloquently 30 years ago, Science is our candle in dark. 🔭🧪

Here's the NIH's proposed budget - from $48 billion to $27 billion. NIAID, current ~$7 billion cut to ~$4.2 billion. The proposed 15% cap on indirect costs remains. Again, these budgets are passed, and our leadership in science, technology, and innovation is gone. www.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...
