The JWST had a new look into the IC348 star forming region last year, and here's my processed image of that observation! 🔭 IC348 is located some 1,000 light years away from us and is made of hundreds of new stars born there. HD: flic.kr/p/2ruCvCz

Don't comply in advance. We are watching people in fear trying to avoid pain by censoring themselves and changing their behavior before being compelled to. Following rules of a group is pro-social behavior that is dangerous now. How can you resist this urge as a law-abiding citizen? A quick 🧵

When Neil Armstong spoke from the moon, ‘That’s was one small step for man…’ the world assumed he meant a step forward, but to NASA supporters Trump is taking NASA a giant leap back. Story and Video: @lex-king.bsky.social @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social dcmediagroup.us/2025/09/15/n...

Inspiring rally at #NASA HQ today to call on Congress to fully fund NASA and other federal agencies, to call on NASA leadership to stop slashing programs, and to demand union rights for NASA workers and all federal workers. Let's go! 🔭🌕🌏 @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social

HAPPENING NOW: protesters with @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social @fedsworkforyou.bsky.social raise awareness for nasa budget cuts! @dcmediagroup.us https://bsky.app/profile/lex-king.bsky.social/post/3lyuwz7ak3k25 #NASA #doge

A small measure of justice for the probationary employees who were fired en masse:

NASA scientists, engineers, and supporters rallied Monday to request the public’s help in urging Congress to stop ‘obey in advance’ budget cuts and restoration of funding. @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social dcmediagroup.us/2025/07/02/n...

HAPPENING NOW: protesters with @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social @fedsworkforyou.bsky.social raise awareness for nasa budget cuts! @dcmediagroup.us

THIS MORNING! Come #protest outside of #NASAHQ

Don’t forget: protest tomorrow outside of NASA HQ in Washington DC! Speakers will be out from 12-1pm. See you there! #nasaneedshelp #protest #washingtondc

Thank you @space.com for covering our upcoming protest on Monday! www.space.com/space-explor... #nasaneedshelp #fundingcuts #nasa #sciencestandstogether

DOL colleagues & other federal employees: We've hearing credible reports that feds are being targeted for comments about yesterday made on their personal social media accounts. We're not saying you should be silenced by fear ... only to consider having a 1A attorney on speed dial.

NASA exploration is for the benefit of all humankind. The ability to learn, discover and push our species ahead towards understanding and better ways to live is predicated on peace, cooperation, and communication. All violence only sets humankind back.

🧪#NASA #NASAcuts #SaveNASA Observations on Recent Staffing Changes It's been a while since I've posted, as I didn't have any new updates to share. However, I have a few observations. It has been more than a month since the large wave of voluntary civil servant retirements. 1/10

Thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been harmed or traumatized by this shooting. Pointing out, Trump acknowledged this faster than the domestic terrorism attack on CDC buildings. Note, Trump has yet to recognize the shooting of federal buildings on CDC’s main campus in GA last month.

for some reason i was absolutely *compelled* to give this NASA europa mission animation a freebird edit

Some are suing to reinstate grants. Some are keeping records. Others are trying to spread the word. Each have found a way to stay true to their values, despite the risk. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Duffy says today's announcement is consistent with "the president's vision and mission of continuing science to support human exploration beyond Earth." Fact check: this administration has proposed canceling Mars sample return.

Leaving you for the night with one of our favorite quotes from Teddy Roosevelt. Keep fighting everyone!

Rally to #SaveNASA next Monday! 🌏🌙🔭📡 While the full event will last 5 hours, the best time to come will likely be between 11 and 1. We'll keep you posted on timing. Follow @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social

We’re still pushing to keep NASA whole! Tell Congress to get their “power of the purse” back and NASA leadership to uphold their oaths to the constitution and the NASA principles of science and exploration for all humankind. #nasaneedshelp #sciencestandstogether #keeppushing

NASA is a profitable agency for America and always has provided excellent ROI both financially and in discoveries.

Sure… so pass a budget increasing our funds?

6) friends of NASA at @nasa-needs-help.bsky.social have been pushing back on NASA budget cuts for months, in creative and effective ways! Here’s an event from today! www.space.com/space-explor... bsky.app/profile/nasa...

Absolutely beautiful day in Greenbelt MD, home of #goddardspaceflightcenter. #NASAneedshelp is spreading the word!

Come visit us at the Greenbelt Labor Day Festival today! We’ll be at an info table talking about how everyone can help NASA’s future.

"President Trump’s decision to issue a Labor Day proclamation shortly after stripping union rights from thousands of civil servants, a third of whom are veterans, should show American workers what he really thinks about them." What AFGE President Everett Kelley said.

Reminder that ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) flies past Venus this weekend. The spacecraft was designed to feel at home in the cold, dark environment of the Jupiter system, and it is too hot at Venus to turn the cameras on. Pics or it didn’t happen? You’ll have to trust us on this one.

What? Apollo 13’s coming back to theaters. We’re excited.

🧪#NASACuts #SaveNASA It’s been quiet these last seven days or so in Goddard, at least within my circle. Not much to report. In many ways, it’s a typical August lull—quiet hallways and a parking lot that empties quickly by 3–4 p.m., particularly when the weather is nice. 1/10

Today’s EO is without a doubt heinous. NASA’s (and other agencies like @uspto.bsky.social and National Weather Service) collective bargaining rights and general unionization abilities have been taken away. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

for every scientific institution I am disappointed in obeying in advance or doing nothing, I meet with scientists who are defying. They are choosing to align with their values rather than conform to those around them, standing up to authoritarian bullies. They fuel my hope.

🚨 NASA faces a historic crisis as ~4,000 employees leave via Deferred Resignation Program, cutting workforce by 20%. ➡️ Missions & science at risk: Moon return, Mars samples, climate monitoring. ➡️ 287 staff signed “Voyager Declaration” raising alarms.

Yesterday, our brave colleagues at ⚠️ FEMA issued a formal declaration of dissent. Federal employees across the government including 🦠 CDC, 🔬 NIH, 🚀 NASA, and more stand with them. We must protect FEMA’s ability to operate independently so they can protect ALL Americans from disasters. Link in bio.
