UniSQ PhD student Emma Nabbie has a cool paper about a Kepler system showing more than 24 hr of TTVs! They show that the system can be explained by a mutually inclined (15deg) non transiting interior planet at 2:1 resonance! See paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A high mutual inclination system around KOI-134 revealed by transit timing variations - Nature Astronomy
Using Kepler, this study identifies a compact multiplanetary system that is not flat, where gravitational interactions cause its planets’ periods to change by nearly a day per cycle and their orbital ...

As a former athlete & current researcher of online rumors & disinfo, today's atrocious example of the "right wing bullshit machine" in action — anchored on a truly idiotic claim from a football coach turned GOP senator about trans girls making girls sports "extinct" — enrages along both dimensions.
Tuberville: "We're getting to a point now where women and girls sports and getting ready to be extinct. Because already in states across this country, we have high school teams that are made up of totally boys participating against girls."

I saw a reel where it was stitched and this White Gen X guy asked why were Black GenXers so angry and the Black woman said "Because we grew up with you and thought you were different but you turned into your parents."

Just a reminder that the German courts have ordered Musk to hand over X data pertaining to the most recent German elections in regards to election interference specifically.
This needs to be covered more than it is.
It's a huge red flag.

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject
On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.

Hey, women in science roll call! We’re not invisible and we can’t be erased. RT if you’re a woman in science!
Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it.
Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.
