Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"
NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Had a great time at #ExoclimesVII hearing about so much new exoplanet science - huge thanks to the organisers @exoclimes.bsky.social for all their hard work!
Congratulations to former Oxoplanet member Dr Annabella Meech (@annabellameech.bsky.social) on her poster presentation at #ExoclimesVII, she presented her research studying the atmosphere of the exoplanet TrES-4b! You can read more about her work here: academic.oup.com/mnras/articl...

When do girls fall behind in maths? Gigantic study pinpoints the moment
Analysis of almost three million children captures when ‘mathematical gender gap’ first emerges and could help focus efforts to stop girls from falling behind.

The atomic spectral lines in this app come from the NIST atomic spectroscopy group, which has provided the world with spectroscopic measurements for 120 years.
Today we got word that the federal government is laying off the entire group. 🔭🧪

Tired of wondering which atomic lines are in your spectra? You need:
*whose line is it anyway?* An interactive tool for identifying atomic spectral lines. 🧪🔭 #stars
install:
pip install whoseline

🚨New paper alert🚨!
Cloudy skies on the hot Neptune LTT 9779b using JWST NIRISS/SOSS lead by my colleague Louis-Philippe Coulombe!
By observing the exoplanet as it completes a journey around it's host star, we mapped out its temperature and cloud coverage across the globe!

ok I need some chemistry/spectroscopy people to weigh in: what molecular, atomic, ionic species or combinations thereof have a sharp band head within like 50 nm of 3 microns? Not peak absorption, but band head, with the rest of the band going to longer wavelengths
