At the International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC) 2025, while dark matter still refused to interact with our experiments, 1000+ of us joyfully interacted about the dark matter. ICRC 2025 dark matter rapporteur by yours truly available now for your perusing: arxiv.org/abs/2510.17473 🕵️‍♀️
The Dark Matters at ICRC 2025
The dark matter track at ICRC~2025 showed a field in transition. Direct detection has entered the \emph{neutrino-floor era}, with XENONnT and PandaX-4T now limited by Solar neutrinos. Indirect searche...

Today's #PhotoOfTheWeek features AMS-02, a magnetic spectrometer for particle physics that has been operating on the International Space Station since 2011.

As someone who works on NASA missions, I can say this budget is cataclysmic—for science and for humanity. If passed, the consequences will be immediate and very hard—if not impossible—to reverse.
I beg and urge everyone who can to contact their Congress reps. Info: www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...
Here is the updated version of the FY26 president's proposed #NASA astrophysics budget for current+future missions. The technical supplement document does have significantly reduced funds for NuSTAR, IXPE, TES (+HST, JWST, Roman), so I removed those Xs, but these are at/below bare minimum levels. 🔭

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

📜 HOT OFF THE PRESS: Carlos Blanco, @trlinden.bsky.social, and yours truly searched for gamma-ray counterpart to the *most* energetic neutrino ever seen! #KM3NeT

what we found (and didn't find) helps us understand the high-energy universe a bit better! let's dig in. 🧵

🍿 Plan for the weekend! Our observers Cameron Lemon and Nikki Arendse from the Oskar Klein Centre in Sweden made a high quality documentary footage during their last visit to NOT.

🔭 Thank you for this great outreach action!

🚨 today on arXiv: new constraints on dark matter from galaxy clusters 🚨🧪⚛️

We explored the Universe’s largest structures---galaxy clusters---to uncover secrets about dark matter using 15 years of NASA's Fermi Telescope data. Did we find gamma rays? Not quite. But what we found is still cool! 🧵👇
