Jezero Crater, Mars, seen on 27 July 2026. There is nothing—and I emphasise nothing—we humans could do to Earth that would make it less hospitable than Mars. So should we send astronauts there? Yes! Absolutely! But we will never colonise Mars, nor should we.
The football screen in the exhibitor hall is better attended than my talk. #Goldschmidt #Goldschmidt26
Artemis IV dream team: Commander: Anne McClain Pilot: Samantha Cristoforetti Mission specialist: Stephanie Wilson Mission specialist: Jenni Gibbons Backup: Jessica Watkins #NASA take notes.
There should be PTO for finding out your ex is engaged.
Anyone else attending #AbSciCon virtually and having trouble navigating the online platform?
Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.

The Artemis II Space Launch System seen from the centre of the A. Max Brewer Bridge in Titusville, FL. Now within two hours to the opening of the launch window.

NASA approved my meteorite loan request. Bits of Mars are coming to Southampton. :)
Today in bodies are gross: One person generates up to 100,000 particles (0.3 microns) per second. No wonder clean room work is a challenge. #GGRIP2026
There is a 20 km high cliff on Uranus' moon, Miranda. Because of the low gravity, if you jumped off it, it would take 12 minutes to reach the bottom. Image credit: JPL/NASA

Jeremy Hansen will be the first non-American to fly to the moon — and will make Canada only the second country in the world to send an astronaut into deep space.

HEY THAT'S US! (I'm second author in Czaplinski et al. 2021)
Hey man, are you a region of enhanced potassium, phosphorous and rare earth elements on the Moon? Because you're a bit of a KREEP.
SHOCKINGLY my abstract for LPSC 2026 was not accepted
Paul Byrne@theplanetaryguy.com · 8mo agoI submitted an abstract to LPSC 2026. I wanted to see how many abstracts were submitted this year. Mine went in at 11:58 pm Central, so is among the last to go in. It will be rejected, but for the student rate ($35) it was worth the experiment. (1/2)
I'm curious who else is taking the @europlanetmedia.bsky.social GMAP Winter School this week! It would be nice to connect with fellow students, since our interaction online seems limited.
Spent 15 mins this morning trying to figure out the Perseverance rover's preferred pronouns to no avail. She/Her, or They/Them?
Megafloods and ice streams create similar landform expressions - did either create Martian outflow channels? Anna Grau Galofre's team is asking this question. #EPSCDPS2025
There are ore-grade nickel deposits in Neretva Vallis, near Jezero crater, Mars. #EPSCDPS2025
Noémie Carlot presented an absolutely stunning map of Eberswalde delta fan, Mars. Look at all those lobes showing channel migration! The river sediments were more resistant to erosion than the surrounding layers, creating intricate inverted channels. #EPSCDPS2025 #Mars doi.org/10.5194/epsc...
