Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes
The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

I am not full Yimbro, but anytime I see someone whining about “we’re full” I immediately want to build a high rise apartment building in their back yard

Big rocket going up
This mission, ESCAPADE, will use satellites in the orbit of Mars to study how particles move in and out of the Martian atmosphere. It will also give insights into how Mars’s atmosphere disappeared overtime, making the planet inhospitable

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.
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

As in love with my e-bike that I am, there’s still areas of the city that would be about a 1.5 hour ride from me, and living 35 min walk from the bus stop made it not a very realistic regular option. My heavy e-bike is also not very easily loaded onto the bus bike rack (I think it’s over the limit)

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory laid off 11% of its staff today, including many people working on an active Mars rover mission. “There’s no whitewashing the ‘doomsday-eve’ feeling that's looming over all our heads,” wrote one JPL’er. eos.org/research-and...
