Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

The government shutdown will halt some federal research at agencies already struggling with staff and funding cuts 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

The first NISAR (NASA-ISRO SAR) L-band radar images now released! Early images acquired before NISAR reached the final science orbit. The mountains of Mount Desert Island in Maine, USA, are beautiful. I first visited Mount Desert Island with my family when I was small. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

NASA’s Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing (OPERA) project released the Troposphere Zenith Radar Delays (TROPO) dataset that allows InSAR users to reduce effects of atmospheric propagation delays for improved measurement of ground motion. www.earthdata.nasa.gov/news/nasas-o...

The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite orbit is in the process of being raised and adjusted its final reference science orbit. NASA and ISRO engineering teams are working on testing and calibrating the satellite and the two radar systems, the L-band and S-band radars. science.nasa.gov/blogs/nisar/...

Megaconstellations now causing problems in optical satellites scenes. I wonder if the same is true for some space based rader acquisitions, which have wider swaths ? @gfun.earth @ericjfielding.bsky.social @geoandyhooper.bsky.social @spacefromspace.com

NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) radar system checkouts are proceeding well after the radar reflector deployment. Satellite orbit is being raised to final science orbit for calibration of the SweepSAR operation modes. science.nasa.gov/blogs/nisar/...

It is such a shame that grand jurors are sworn to secrecy: "A sharp rebuke by ordinary citizens against the team of prosecutors who are dealing with the fallout from Trump’s move to send National Guard troops and federal agents into the city" www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

The be clear, this is a nationwide questionnaire for all federal agencies.

The National Weather Service is hiring. Here is part of the application.

Impressive to see the void of vessel traffic tonight in the vicinity of #HurricaneErin - thanks to the pre-planning and coordination between the weather and marine navigation experts. #MarineSafety #HurricaneSeason #science #technology

In October, we published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism.

Excuse me? End of Earth science at NASA??? 🧪 ⚒️

Final deployment of the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite, the 12-meter radar antenna reflector was successfully completed August 15. Congratulations to all people involved in this important milestone of the mission, in USA and India. #NASA #ISRO #SAR #satellite #NISAR www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/giant-r...

For those interested in the Tracy Arm Landslide in Alaska, I captured a 1m/pixel Umbra SAR image and have made it available for free. Please share around! The download link is active for 3 days: we.tl/t-lNFgCjcmwP

Most of what we know about clouds on Mars comes from data collected during the Martian afternoon. New research paints a complete picture of what Martian clouds look like all day—and night—long.

Nice shot of MetOp SG A1 inside CCU3 I for one am glad we are putting more weather monitoring satellites on-orbit, instead of switching them off... #VA264

Wildfire season in some parts of California starts more than a month earlier than it did in the 1990s, according to new research.

#NISAR will take 90 days to perform commissioning tests & reach its science orbit. “But as we progress, we’re going to get little peeks behind the curtains...It’s going to be transformational.” —Alex Gardner, JPL eos.org/articles/tra...

NISAR satellite is in the planned injection orbit. It will be gradually moved to the final science orbit over the next month and a half.

Liftoff! The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission has launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. #NISAR will scan the entire globe twice every 12 days to measure changes in Earth’s ecosystems, cryosphere, and land surface. “It’s orbiting magic.” —Alex Gardner, NASAJPL eos.org/articles/tra...

NISAR has lifted off! And been successfully placed in its orbit! Good job, ISRO! Woohoo!

You may not feel it, but the ground beneath you may be sinking. In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago. Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/

New global study shows freshwater is disappearing at alarming rates …with the emergence of four continental-scale "mega-drying" regions, all located in the northern hemisphere. phys.org/news/2025-07...

NEW: Decades of NASA satellite data reveal how quickly the planet’s underground stores of fresh water have been depleted and how their use is contributing to rising sea levels. Here are the key takeaways.

ISRO has posted a video of the GSLV rocket carrying NISAR moving out to the launch pad on Instagram. Go NISAR! #NASA #ISRO #SAR www.instagram.com/reel/DMfw_x8...
