Based on current information, the Cebreros station appears to have remained unharmed. My deepest thanks go to the Spanish emergency services whose efforts helped protect the site as wildfires approached. Left: 24 July 19:57, Right: 25 July 07:54

Mars scientists have detailed, deliberate plans for what missions can give them the data they most want about the Red Planet. SkyFall's trio of helicopters (relying on the first-ever nuclear-propulsion spacecraft and mid-air deployment, all with a 2028 launch date!) is...not among them. 🧪 🔭

Will NASA’s SkyFall Mars helicopter fleet sink science at the Red Planet?

Mars researchers are wrestling with the potential costs of a flashy new NASA mission to the Red Planet

A spacecraft is falling to its doom — can NASA save it?

A successful rescue of the Swift space observatory could be a good omen for the Hubble Space Telescope.

Today, NASA announced the crew of the next Artemis mission. Here’s my breakdown of what we know about Artemis III. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

NASA announces the astronauts for the next Artemis mission. Here's what they'll be doing.

Commander Randy Bresnik and three others will attempt to dock with two different lunar landers in Earth orbit, paving the way for a future moon landing.

Ok here’s the thing — Mike absolutely asked me about this and I forgot completely and then I’m driving and listening to the audiobook (I bought both to alternate between the two because EMILY WOO ZELLER how could I not) and I heard “Vice Admiral Swapna Krishna” and I was like wait WHAT

Mike Chen@mikechenwriter.bsky.social · 3mo ago

And finally Vice Admiral Swapna Krishna is, unsurprisingly, fellow Star Trek megafan @swapnakrishna.com. Early on, I asked her if she wanted to be an admiral or crew character and she picked admiral! Also, a lot of names are nods to Robotech, which is an all-time space opera fave. /end!!!!

Today's the last day to tell your comic book shop you want this book and to guarantee you'll have a copy! I'm really excited about sharing a new Castiel story with you all and I hope you'll call your LCS up today ❤️👼 www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/vi...

This is a beautiful tribute!!

Candy Hansen-Koharcheck was one of my favorite people to interview. She died last month, after nearly 50 years in planetary science. I wrote about her enthusiasm for capturing cosmic wonder and sharing it with everyone on Earth, for @sciencenews.bsky.social: www.sciencenews.org/article/spac...

i have to find the video of us reenacting watching a pivotal star wars moment lol wait wait (from the wonderful lookingforleia.com docuseries, about women in the star wars community) @ohcatrina.bsky.social @dr-ophelian.bsky.social

HEYYYYY fun fact I was like 8 weeks pregnant during this shoot and was about to vomit the entire time hahahaha @runwithskizzers.bsky.social probably remembers that

Here’s the thing about Pluto. I don’t care if it’s a planet. I do care if there’s a clear scientific definition of a planet, whether that encompasses Pluto or not.

Drove a couple of hours to see a space telescope—this is the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope launching no earlier than September

Please note that as of 12:34 am EST on April 21st, this post had the perfect Bluesky ratio of actually relevant science related comments : do you see the same weird animal I see if I turn my head a little comments

This rather creepy photo is Artemis II’s heat shield underwater, as taken by the U.S. Navy. This is the first photo we have of the heat shield, and upon initial examination it doesn’t seem to have the char loss that Artemis I’s had.

Going to go see a guy (Goddard) about a telescope (Roman) tomorrow

NASA's Office of the Inspector General issued a report today on the status of the spacesuits that will both replace the aging suits on the ISS and be the suits used on the lunar landing. We've known it's delayed, and this report doesn't refute that.

My friends wanted to celebrate my work on the Artemis II mission so they showed up at my house with a cake with my face on it

Voyager 1 has had another instrument shutdown. On Friday, the team at JPL sent the command to shut off of the low energy charged particle instrument. That means that there are now only two operational science instruments on the spacecraft. science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyage...

@jthutt.bsky.social congratulations!

If you’re wondering where I am, I am still sobbing.

My 7 year old has been working on something secret for a few days. This afternoon he came into my office with this.

This is excellent scientific journalism. It's clear, it's concise, it describes the technical issues in an accessible way, and it discusses the disagreements objectively.

I can say without hesitation that this is the HARDEST article I have ever written, but I am incredibly proud of it. If you have questions about Orion’s heat shield, given the issues with Artemis I, I hope I can provide some answers: www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

WHAT A PHOTO oh my gosh

This might be one of my favorites from Artemis II. A cinematic alignment of the Moon and Earth, each cradled within the warmth of sunbeams. Taken from behind the Moon on April 6th. flic.kr/p/2s6BABn

Artemis II's last test: Will its heat shield work?

Excess charring on Artemis I's heat shield had NASA racing to understand what went wrong—and to ensure the technology was still safe for the current crew's high-speed reentry.

If you're confused about skip entry (Artemis I) vs loft entry (Artemis II) for the heat shield (www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...) this imagery from NASA might help:

I feel a lot better after this deep dive than I did from all the superficial reassurances during briefings.

"NASA builds redundancy into everything. There’s almost always a backup system or a secondary option in case something goes wrong. But there is no redundancy for the heat shield. It simply has to work." @swapnakrishna.com on the Artemis II heat shield as the crew prepares for splashdown on Friday.
