A paper in Nature Astronomy reports an extreme flare seen from a supermassive black hole that is 30 times brighter than similar events and was first detected in 2018. The most likely cause is the shredding of a star of 30 solar masses or more. go.nature.com/3WIGmLN 🔭 🧪

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

Dismantling federal agencies like NASA will be disastrous for science www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

Amid all of yesterday's excitement, this was last night's "Beaver moon", named for the season when beavers feverishly prepare dams and lodges for winter. And especially cool is the "lunar halo" that encircled it (caused by moonlight refracting off of ice crystals in clouds). #astronomy #science 🔭👩🏾‍🔬

How do people around the world encounter science, and what shapes those encounters? Our new global study found that social media now carries much of the world’s science content, but local culture, infrastructure, and curiosity still determine how people engage. #ScienceSky #scicomm

The University of Minnesota just announced the "Meal-A-Day Program" which will provide one meal a day for SNAP benefit recipients while the SNAP program is limited or unavailable. This makes me very happy. A lot of students, faculty, and staff at the U need this, unfortunately.

This week’s image is of the supernova SN2011fe (the bright blue object in the upper right of the image)! This star’s explosive death was observed in the galaxy M101, about 20 million light-years away from us. Check out the 🧵 for more papers involving supernovae! #Astronomy 📸 credit in thread

i like that the wind was polite enough to stop at the Delaware state lines

i think it's really beautiful that through the most powerful telescope in space, stars look like snowflakes

being a part of @astrobites.bsky.social was one of the best things I did in grad school !! such a supportive collaboration where everyone just wants to make astronomy better apply ! apply ! apply ! 🧪☄️🔭

a fun little trick these guys use is to express everything in $/year, because simplifying this to $350/mo kind of gives the game away

You might’ve heard the news: SpaceX just passed 10,000 Starlink satellites launched. And that number is already old news, as there’s now a new Starlink batch launched every other day. Here’s what that looks like in a short animation of Comet A6 Lemmon courtesy of Michael Jaeger:

Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc. People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...
