Tianwen-2 had arrived. Here's asteroid Kamo'oalewa seen from 20 km away www.xinhuanet.com/20260706/eb8...

Two years from today Dragonfly will be sitting atop a rocket at the cape. With any luck weather will be green, the go no go poll will be all go and we will be on our way to Titan.

Article’s geo-explanation feels like something got oversimplified or misinterpreted along the way, but stranded seafloor are a classic way of identifying major quakes in geologic record. Video (with link in description to the same coastal pre-quake): m.youtube.com/watch?v=4M8U...

Hi everybody, I organized the #Artemis2 photos for you. Index pages containing all ~10,000 images in chronological order with time stamps and focal lengths, color coded by which of three cameras was used to shoot them. countlessworlds.com/data/artemis/

Hello! We have a very-off-cycle postdoc fellowship at UC Santa Cruz. Open to any area of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Applications are due July 15th. It is funded by the Moore Foundation. Looking for someone to start Oct 1, 2026 (!, approx), see details below. aas.org/jobregister/...

This is what a jet of dust and gas on a comet looks like up close.

Such cool science! Scientists transmitted radio waves from a radio telescope out to one of Jupiter's moons, then received the reflected waves back at multiple telescopes and measured the radio albedo. Using circular polarization, they can measure the transparency of the global ice sheet. 📡

We're hiring a software developer! Help bring the next generation of coding practices and tools to the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute, and work with my team in sunny SoCal! Applications are due July 6th, please let me know if you have any questions! phf.tbe.taleo.net/phf03/ats/ca...

I can see my house!

Shout out to Poe Productions for this amazing suit

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Amazingly it is hard to find short and instructive videos about this. There are some videos with good titles, but then they don't show the signs but only people talking; useless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDdC... www.youtube.com/watch?v=beNh... Clear examples: youtu.be/TDdCBqxbCAw?...

Free simulator teaches how to identify swimmers in distress/drowning. Important: drowning ppl can be dangerous to untrained rescuers. Call for lifeguard! If none can help, push float/object toward drowning person, avoid letting them grab you directly, esp in deep water. spotthedrowningchild.com

Minutes to go now:

Asteroid mission captures rarely seen perspective of Mars during close flyby www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/s... #Psyche #Mars 🧪🔭

Neat view of Mars during the Psyche encounter. Using the overexposed images we can zoom in nicely to see the martian atmosphere. Similar to how Cassini would position itself behind Titan for those beautiful coffee-stain atmosphere shots. flic.kr/p/2senpue

Mars as seen from the Psyche spacecraft on its way to the metallic asteroid of the same name.

From NASA The initial reports are in: #MissionToPsyche aced its Mars flyby. ☑️ With the Red Planet in the rearview mirror, the spacecraft will resume using its solar-electric propulsion system to make a beeline to the main asteroid belt and rendezvous with the asteroid Psyche go.nasa.gov/4dn30CI

This is a composite of the Moon, Mars, and Earth I made. The Moon and Earth are from Artemis II, and Mars is from the Psyche mission. Each image was taken *in the last six weeks*

Two worlds: Earth, taken by the Artemis II crew and Mars, taken by the Psyche probe... I wonder when human eyes will see Mars as a crescent like this... Earth image: NASA Mars image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU Additional processing: S Atkinson

Here is a mosaic from the close approach images. flic.kr/p/2sdCjqp For location reference I marked the area in MUTED (a nice Mars map website) muted.uni-muenster.de?x=76.063&y=6...

Psyche captured this sequence a few hours later during closest approach when Psyche was about 5000 km above Mars. The sequence starts over Isisdis Planitia, moves across Syrtis Major (a bit south of where Perseverance is) and ends over Huygens crater.

It's fun when new imagery comes down and we all jump on it 😃
