Alaska is another reach state.
No, not that Alaska seat, the OTHER Alaska seat.

Ready for a leader of humble origins, a po' boy if you will.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I think one Alaska seat is an easier flip than Ohio.
I think a second Alaska seat is an easier flip than Iowa.

Somehow missed that it's erev Purim! I'm not home to bake, need to see if I can find some.

Nice! I’m jealous!

What kind?

Hot take: the pivotal senate seat is not Sherrod Brown, it is Lisa Murkowski.

Rubin Observatory has started paging astronomers 800,000 times a night Asteroids, exploding stars, and feasting black holes swarm in the first-ever batch of nightly alerts from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile

Now on @sciam.bsky.social: Wake up, astronomers—the sky is calling.

@vrubinobs.bsky.social has unleashed its first rapid-fire alerts of new celestial activity. 800k of 'em—a nightly number that will soon rise to a million+!

This isn't funny, Chief Justices only do this when they are in extreme distress.

A composite black-and-white photograph honoring astrophysicist Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, famous for her 1967 discovery of pulsars. The main central image shows a young Jocelyn Bell (in her late 20s) smiling warmly at the camera, wearing cat-eye glasses, her hair styled in ponytail, and a collared coat. She stands in front of the iconic large radio telescope array at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (near Cambridge, UK), a massive wire-mesh parabolic structure with a central feed horn and supporting framework towering behind her, evoking the instrument she used to detect the first pulsar signals. In the lower-left inset is a modern color portrait of an older Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell (with gray hair in a practical style, wearing glasses and a blue blazer over a patterned blouse), smiling brightly and looking directly at the viewer, representing her later years as a celebrated scientist and advocate for women in STEM. The side-by-side images beautifully contrast her groundbreaking early career moment with her enduring legacy. #physics #astrophysics

In 1967, physicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered radio pulsars.

#OTD in 1968, Burnell, Antony Hewish, and 3 other male colleagues published a paper on the discovery in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦--but, the 1974 Nobel Prize in #Physics for their discovery was awarded only to Hewish.

a group of men are dancing on a stage in a dark room . Alt: extremely cheesy gif of Front 242 from Belgian tv circa 1985, they're dancing like a bunch of goobers on a sound stage that looks like it's made of corrugated steel and heat lamps

IT'S EBM DAY 24/2 NEVER STOP #musicsky #ebm

Went out for dinner a couple of hours ago so we wouldn't be tempted to watch SOTU. Just got back and turned on my computer and IT'S STILL GOING??

Hello Bluesky, join us for our first event at Druid City Brewing Company on March 8th at 6:00pm! University of Alabama graduate students Annelia Anderson and Peter Gwartney will be presenting "The Little Red Dot Debate". More info: astronomyontap.org/event/astron...

PV is in Jalisco

The curfew appears to have been a false rumour but it’s still remarkably quiet out this evening.

If anyone is concerned, we're safe and there doesn't seem to have been anything happening here since the initial flood of fire-bombed OXXOs this morning. But the state is under curfew starting at 3pm local. #Guanajuato

This is horrible. Carl was one of the titans of observational stellar halo streams.

We admire your sacrifice.

STScI is opening its doors for a celebration of creativity at the intersection of art, science, and community on May 6 at 6 p.m.!

The evening will feature an art exhibit of works by local artists inspired by space and astronomy.

That's a whole lot of cat!

Today's colloquium speaker "Astroseismology gives us stellar ages that are good to 10%. For astronomy, that's amazing! Most people can't even guess my age to a factor of 2."
