Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says. n.pr/4q87Jwb

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

One of my favorite pictures of Mars, taken June 12, 2022 by Perseverance. Such a marvelous, evocative landscape.

Voyage of the Moons
This is a video I made in 2018 showing moons Europa and Io out in front of Jupiter then Titan with Saturn.
Made with still imagery taken by NASA’s Cassini mission.

Since a lot of you liked the supernova pic, let’s do another #astrophotography share.
This time, it’s Comet Leonard! 💫
Caught this in the mountains with the Scooby Gang. Stuck my DSLR camera onto my telescope and took a few snaps.
That green glow is due to sunlight destroying diatomic carbon.

Finally! Aurora last night in SE Pennsylvania (while watching for the Perseids). Barely visible to the eye, but obvious to the camera. 😍 Also saw a few meteors…💫
