Stuff like this makes me miss Tucson. The lights in my neighborhood are on the far left.
Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

This is my first time seeing aurora, it's just as lovely as I imagined, but next time I'll put on socks and shoes instead of just running outside in flip flops. (Middle TN)

I can’t fathom how someone thought this was a good idea.
LPI received *no* direction to remove these abstracts/reports; they preemptively complied. Then LPI audaciously claims they didn’t delete content; they just hid it. In a digital world, what’s the difference?
Shameful.

USRA has circulated this statement regarding their unilateral* decision to remove from their website planetary science community abstracts, studied, and reports they hosted that included DEI content.
Too little, too late in my view.

The US science community relies on a massive network of post-bacs, graduate students, and post-docs, many of whom are foreign nationals. We train these students and in return we get a ginormous scientific output that makes us a stronger nation - BUT this system is now under attack. (1)
