Wowee...A galaxy 13.4 billion...that's billion with a "b"....light years away. Nasa has so many wonderful Twitter accounts. If you are avoiding Twitter because it's a cesspool...here is one reason to jump in. You can avoid the crap and just find the cool Twitter feeds, there are many worthwhile Twitter accounts to follow.

Thanks, RV.

Not to make it all about COVID science-denial, but these wonderful vids have reminded me the the best come-back to the ignorant who have believed the fear-mongering and gaslighting is to point out what we're doing on Mars this year.

The world's solar system's longest picnic.

Maybe that's why Trump was never very enthusiastic about going there. No Big Mac's!

One of my joys this last month was that they got Hubble back up and running. I think they need to do a house call from the ISS with replacement parts.

The James Webb Space Telescope. More detailed write-up than one would expect from the BBC.
