I've recently had a streak of bad luck between the weather and the schedule for taking photos of the night sky, so I've edited some photos from the light wavelengths collected by the JWST.

Here you can see NGC 3627 edited to reveal the stars and clouds.

There's a LEGO ideas campaign for the Hearthian Lander! If it can get 10,000 votes of support, then LEGO will consider making it a real set. This one's even got a ship interior!

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.” • The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives. • The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000. Each point represents a federal agency: • Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs. • Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs. Key Observations: • Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates. • Notable targeted agencies include: • HHS (Health & Human Services) • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • NIH (National Institutes of Health) • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) • Dept. of Education • USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) • The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies. • A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size. Takeaway: The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology. Source: Richardson, Clinton, & Lewis (2018).

Tomorrow is a national protest day in the US. Protests are organized at the White House and state capitals, but if you can’t find an event or time that works for you, go when and where you can. If there is no event organizer, you are the event organizer. Announce it below,👇 hashtags #3E #USProtests

A woman whose parents were injured in a Tesla crash has been forced to pay Tesla damages.

Zhang Yazhou was ordered by a Chinese court to pay over $23,000 to Tesla and apologize to the company after she publicly complained about her Tesla's breaks in the wake of the accident. /1

Something else to thank EM for.

"The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day."

This is an oldie, but a goodie. And it's just going to get worse. 🔭 80% (probably more, now) of the US can't see the Milky Way at night. Talk to your local supervisor about installing downlighting, LEDs, motion sensors, and more.
