This is what a lunar eclipse looks like... from the surface of the Moon.

That dark circle is Earth.

NASA folks in #planetaryscience - I'm trying to put together a network who can help our colleagues through RIFs on Tuesday. This is an EMERGENCY: Reports say that NASA probationary employees will be fired on Tuesday.

Science friends - please please call AAAS and any other contacts with the witnesses for tomorrow's hearing on the future of US science to demand they call out the Trump-Musk attacks on NSF, NIH, NOAA, DOE, USAID, etc. We need this on the record.

Forced Resignations Are Illegal – 5 CFR § 715.202 states that federal resignations must be voluntary. An email implying "uncertainty of your position" while pushing resignation deadlines could be considered coercion.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

I can't come up with a profound First Post, so I will post this instead. I hope the person who came up with the holiday-themed commercial with the doorbell ringing also has a dog that goes crazy every time that commercial plays. #getshimeverytime
