The power has gone out at work many times this summer. We're a place that invested in generators. And I realized today that as annoying as it is to have the emergency light come on and the AC go out, the wifi *is* on the generator. Based

Solar system panel time - panelists Laura Mayorga, Geronimo Villanueva, Shingo Kameda, Cristina Thomas and Kurt Retherford, chaired by Heidi Hammel. First question: why do we need to use space telescopes to look at the solar system? Monitoring of objects is key, e.g. following up flybys. #HWO25

Through the long death of the moon, we drank her light
As slowly as snow-melt bearing her funeral
Against the turn of the earth by nights like flares
As she fell westward, trailing a torn shroud
Across the mountains, over the ashen water...

Like many NASA projects and missions, the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute was asked to submit a closeout budget this week. Hopefully just a drill! But very difficult just the same. 💔
Regardless of what happens, I’m *so proud* of the service we have performed for the community over the years. ✨🪐💾🔭👩🏻🔬
