This is a fantastic way to bring space to more people. Love it. 👏
Netflix is partnering with NASA to bring space exploration closer to viewers.

Potential Trump administration funding cuts at NASA would take a blowtorch to space science and American leadership in space.

Last time we all lost our minds over K2-18b 🔭 , I wrote this blog post. The summary is... don't.
K2-18b. We urgently need to get our shit together about life detection — Girl & Kat
We have not discovered life on K2-18b. We have not even discovered water on K2-18b. All we can say is that the planet does not… not… have an ocean.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Remember that little asteroid a few months ago we thought might hit us?
Here are new #JWST images of it (taken with its two IR instruments).
We now know asteroid 2024 YR4 won't hit Earth, is about 60 m across, and is covered in first-size rocks.
It might hit the Moon though and that would be COOL
