Trump administration revokes Harvard's ability to enroll international students

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W

Utrinki z Messierjevega maratona, ki je v noči od sobote 5. aprila na nedeljo 6. aprila združil veliko skupino tekmovalcev (in nekaj spremljajočih opazovalcev, kot sem bila sama). Delim par svojih slik tekmovalcev podnevi in ponoči, pa še dva posnetka Lune v dnevni modrini in ponoči skozi teleskop.

A girl looking through a telescope on a field. On the background the sun in setting. The weather is very cloudy.The scene was shouted at night. The sky above is cloudy, with only a bright star shining. In the foreground we see red lights of people sitting near a bunch of telescopes. A local Messier maraton is happening.The Moon (few days after the first quarter) on dark blue background. The shot was done during the day, with a 300mm objective.The Moon (few days after the first quarter). Craters are seen on the terminator, near the dark side of the Moon. The details are seen because the photo was taken through the telescope.

How can co-design shape astronomy education? At the 6th Shaw-IAU Workshop in the session on Teaching Methods and Tools, @denebdulfim.bsky.social introduced the SABIR project, where NAECs worked together to create inquiry-based activities! www.youtube.com/watch?v=08iB...

Helpful thread from @clairelamman.bsky.social about the new results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument #DESI team. The implication, if this evidence persists, is that the dark energy currently causing the accelerated expansion of the universe is evolving in unexpected ways 😮

Here is a "contour" plot that summarizes what these new measurements have to say about the behavior of dark energy, + my annotation. Either a lot of people are misunderstanding something big about the data, the Universe is playing a cruel trick on us, or LCDM is wrong.

The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.

The best dark sky in the world - the Atacama Desert in Chile, which hosts many @eso.org telescopes - is under threat from an industrial project. 🔭 Astronomers can sign a petition in favour of moving the planned industrial project: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject

On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.
