In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

OK, so I read the journal paper about finding "biosignatures" in the atmosphere of the nearby planet K2-18b.
Quick take: the detection of the molecules looks fine. May be real, may not be, but let's say it is. Does it mean life?
NO.

Delim par svojih slik tekmovalcev podnevi in ponoči, pa še dva posnetka Lune v dnevni modrini in ponoči skozi teleskop.

Helpful thread from @clairelamman.bsky.social about the new results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument #DESI team. The implication, if this evidence persists, is that the dark energy currently causing the accelerated expansion of the universe is evolving in unexpected ways 😮
Here is a "contour" plot that summarizes what these new measurements have to say about the behavior of dark energy, + my annotation. Either a lot of people are misunderstanding something big about the data, the Universe is playing a cruel trick on us, or LCDM is wrong.

The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.
"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:

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.
