This remake of the 80s is going to suck without a strong music counterculture.

My first non rectangular crochet project (and one where I just made it up while I went along) is complete. When the apocalypse comes, I can supply custom niche hot water bottle covers.

I guess the question of who I would have partied with on the Enterprise is answered.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

How am I going to focus on proposal revisions when I now have this to read??

It’s gonna be a wild ride. #HorrorSky

TIL that "in situ" being italicized has gone the way of the double space after a period.

Since I am sitting here searching quotes by Camus to try to make my own daily dark but inspirational calendar, I will post my periodic reminder of the fabulous Jean-Paul Sartre Cookbook share.google/nqm9eYV1amn3...

I need one of those desk calendars with a page per day, that has Camus quotes on it.

This was my favorite song back then. I was 7 years old and kept calling into the highschool radio station trying to use different voices to request them to play it over and over. Still love it. RIP, Falco, we lost you way too young.

youtu.be/hbO1z13WP8o?... This is...amazing.

Yay Kyanite!! So important for metamorphic petrology!

oh hai (corrected YouTube link). ;) 🔭🧪

When I open my restaurant it’s going to have a cheese board where the main ingredient is ENOUGH CRACKERS. I’ve never seen that once but I’m a risk taker

Szoboszlai. What a shot, coming off an incredible performance last week. That man works HARD all game.

RIP. More of my childhood heroes dying this year.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%. #NASADidThat

Most things are pretty shite right now, but I found my first raspberry in my garden box today. That makes me happy.

I love seeing dear Mercury in the news!

This quote is delicious. I could sip on it all day. "Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to was never there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it." —Flannery O'Connor

Hang in there, sweet baby. Maybe there is too much evil and hate in the world right now for a soul this beautiful.

Sweet Kai is having a rough time right now. I'm hoping we don't have to say goodbye. This year can fuck right off.

For a couple of decades, I assumed that crystal chemistry, spectroscopy, and remote sensing would be my transferrable skills if I had to do a career change, but now I'm thinking that making a fire with a bow drill and brain-tanning leather might be more helpful?

House SS&T will hold a hrg on the CLPS initiative, April 1, 10:00 am ET. GREAT witness lineup: NASA (Nicky Fox), JHUAPL (Brett Denevi), Astrobotic (John Thornton), Intuitive Machines (Steve Altemus), Firefly (Jason Kim). [Too bad it's same time as SSB Space Science Wk plenary.]

On this day in 1655, Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, was discovered. 🪐 In 2028, NASA’s #DragonflyMission - led by Johns Hopkins APL with nationwide partner organizations - will launch to explore Titan’s environment and search for signs of life. Learn more: dragonfly.jhuapl.edu

Tramell Tillman is absolutely brilliant.

An absolutely entrancing view of sunset on the Moon.

This is what Firefly's Blue Ghost lander saw as the Sun set on Sunday. The Sun is the bright lightsource at the horizon. At top is Earth (you can't quite tell it's gibbous). And that bright star between the two is Venus. I have never seen a photo of Venus from the surface of the Moon before.

Pet peeve. Data are plural unless you're referring to this Data.

youtu.be/NLviy39Q1A8?... Lady Gaga and Bowen Yang have been the highlight of my last couple of days. This song and its performance was delightful, and skits on the show were fantastically absurd.

Evidence from MESSENGER suggests that the surface of Mercury is very low in iron; minerals either formed under extremely oxygen-poor conditions, or were smelted as they erupted (maybe both). If you look up Mercury tonight, know that soon ESA & JAXA's Bepi Colombo will unlock even more secrets.
