Please consider a call and email to your Congress folk about the current #GovernmentShutdown and #OMB 's cuts to already funded science.
Thank you @aas.org for making this easy through a simple website: aas.org/action-alert...

This is absolutely disgusting! I thought #SouthPark was satire, not nonfiction.

Random image I put together of our #Sun from the #SDO #AIA instrument data. The colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple are different wavelengths that represent various temperatures of the Sun's upper atmosphere. Wavelengths are 304, 193, 171, 131, 335, and 211 Angstroms, respectively.
Image of our Sun using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The image shows 6 bands of color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple) from top to bottom of different measurements (wavelengths of light) that represent various energy or temperature levels of the Sun's upper atmosphere. These wavelengths are 304, 193, 171, 131, 335, and 211 Angstroms, respectively.

This Saturday, June 14th, when the president is creating government waste and destroying the streets of DC, the rest of the country will #standup and #resist by saying #NoKings in America. Check out your area for a local #protest to true waste, fraud, and abuse. www.nokings.org#map

With the 2026 presidential budget request, #NSO @nso.edu.web.brid.gy would see a 54% cut. This will destroy the future of #heliophysics. The budget will make #DKIST inoperable.

The National Solar Observatory (NSO) budget is slated to be cut by 54% with the 2026 presidential budget request.

With the administration's desire for "golden science", the PBR suggests something widely different. #Heliophysics is currently proposed to be cut by over 40%. #NASA Heliophysics Division provides the majority of data to predict space weather (keeping all our satellites safe).

#science #nokings #gps
The Presidential Budget Request (PBR) is cutting NASA's Heliophysics Division missions by nearly 40%. Killing Geospace Dynamics Constellation entirely and effectively destroying the Solar Dynamics Observatory from actual operations.

After a multi-hour closed door session yesterday @schumer.senate.gov told the US "[We are] unified on a clean April 11 CR ... time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass" then <24 hours caves. Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on CLOTURE and NO on CR. www.5calls.org
