En Route to Jupiter, NASA’s Europa Clipper Captures Images of Stars - NASA The spacecraft’s star trackers help engineers orient the orbiter throughout its long journey to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.

Three months after launch, Europa Clipper hardware checkouts are going well. Lots to do before the spacecraft's Mars flyby on March 1! www.nasa.gov/missions/eur...

Thank you, Carl!

Six Webb images of little red dots are combined in a two-row mosaic. Each little red dot is centered within a square frame and lies against the black background of space. Each dot has a yellow-white circular core surrounded by a red, fuzzy ring. White text in the top left corner of each box lists the source’s name from the Webb surveys, and its redshift. From left to right, the top row reads CEERS 14448, z = 4.75; NGDEEP 4321, z = 8.92; and PRIMER-COS 10539, z = 7.48. The bottom row reads CEERS 20320, z = 5.27; JADES 9186, z = 4.99; and PRIMER-UDS 17818, z = 6.40.

NEWS: #NASAWebb is helping connect the dots! 🔴 A team of astronomers scoured multiple Webb surveys to assemble a large sample of “little red dots”—intriguing objects that mostly existed during the first 1.5 billion years after the big bang: bit.ly/4j9SVtm #AAS245 🔭 🧪

With the old man. Oh yeah, and the cat. (Our Zach is 20)

Thank you for your work, and for sharing and posting here.

It feels like people do not fully
understand how much life changed for our species between 1900 and 2000.
I still struggle to comprehend it.

These events are 66 years apart.

Excellent line of research! The clipper is such an interesting/important mission. Thank you for your work and posts here.

Saturn and its rings are at the top of the image while Earth appears as a small blue dot in the distance with a white arrow pointing to it reading “Earth”.

this is probably one of my favorite pictures in astronomy

Excellent. Thank you. We are excited for the new season!

Fun episode. It was great to hear from you!

America's fractured trust in science, explained in 3 charts Science should be bipartisan. Why is our confidence split down party lines?

I suspect partisan split on trust in science is a matter of positive feedback. One side doesn't like what science is saying (climate, vaccines), so they attack it. Scientists argue back. Partisans react defensively, giving their side more reason to attack science. Repeat.
