1/ Milestone achieved by the VLTI upgrade GRAVITY+: a laser has been installed at each of the previously unequipped VLT Unit Telescopes.
This will dramatically enhance the VLTI observing power.

Ich liebe Pilze, aber Pilze sammeln...
Tintenpilze. Die sehen gut aus. Sollen gute Speisepilze sein.
Aber wenn ich den jetzt sammel, trage ich den Stunden rum. Bis ich zu Hause bin, zerfließt der schon.
Und wer geht schon mit Pilzkorb wandern, weil die kleinen Mimösken nicht in ne Tüte können.

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

Why indeed.
Why? NASA is a crown jewel of US science and an international inspiration. Its logo adorns hoodies worn by young and old. The most famous telescopes could not have existed without Goddard and shutting down parts of it, even temporarily, cuts off the life blood for future missions. Why kill NASA?!?
