President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

Holy cow, look at that primary mirror! It's the same size as Hubble's (2.4m) but 4x lighter. And its field of view is 100x wider than Hubble (compare the small box versus the full color image in the picture below), with Hubble's resolution.

The stars in NGC 602 have fewer heavier elements compared to the Sun and most of the rest of the galaxy. Instead, the conditions within NGC 602 mimic those for stars found billions of years ago when the universe was much younger.

IT WAS 62 YEARS AGO TODAY that we became an interplanetary species.
12/14/1962 Mariner 2 flyby of Venus revealed Earth's sibling planet to be a hellishly hot greenhouse world, ushering in an age of comparative planetology which has taught us so much about planets including Earth.

Happy #QuantumDay to all who celebrate!
Max Planck submitted work on blackbody radiation to the German Physical Society #OTD in 1900.
His novel “quantum hypothesis” suggested that matter emits and absorbs light with frequency f only in discrete chunks of energy E=hf. 🧪 ⚛️ (1/n)

We shoot random stars and free floating planets at the early Solar System. It turns out, there is a surprisingly high (1%) that we reproduce something that is consistent with the present day Solar System to a high degree.

Physicist Max Born was...born... #OTD in 1882.
In 1926 he formulated a rule for the statistical likelihood of a measurement on a quantum system yielding a particular outcome. Born’s rule says the probability is the square of an amplitude obtained from the system’s wave function. (1/n)

Aw, Universe, why do you have to be this way?
We've been suspicious for a while that the expansion of the cosmos is doing weird stuff, and new results from JWST seem to confirm it.

The Hubble tension is alive and well: JWST appears to confirm the cosmic expansion is different closer to us than farther away
