WHOA: we have a third visitor from interstellar space, and it's a comet named 3I/ATLAS! It's in the first image below (from David Rankin, Saguaro Obs/AFP). We know it's from interstellar space because it's on a hyperbolic orbit, meaning it is not bound to the Sun. So, unlike

With Foundation season 3 less than a week away, the input thing to do is binge the whole series again. This is my 4th time watching season 1, and it's still AMAZING. This is one of the best TV shows, I really want to see how they write the ending since Asimov never got to!

What’s really at stake if NASA’s science budget gets slashed and entire science missions are canceled? We asked the scientists leading those missions, and their stories reveal what we all stand to lose. Here’s what they told us: planetary.org/articles/scien…

In the presence of strong gravity, time moves differently. Black holes warp spacetime so much that if you put yourself near one, time would move much slower for you than for your friends on Earth! It's called time dilation, and it happens because when spacetime is warped, both

What would've happened if 2,000+ senior NASA leaders were pushed out before the moon landing? We would've lost the space race to the Soviets. And now we risk losing the next space race to China.

Massless particles CANNOT BE AT REST! They cannot slow down. They must travel at the speed of light (in a vacuum). Because they have no rest mass, all their energy comes from momentum: E = pc. That’s why massless photons always move at speed of light. If gravitons exist, they're

Three years of wonder ✨ It's been three years since we released our first science images, here's a recap. We're grateful to have you all along for this journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse!

Okay this is too cool not to share: you're looking at a baby star system in the earliest stage we've ever seen! It's 1300 light-years away. The system is a baby version of the sun, and astronomers are seeing the same things they expect occurred during the formation of our solar

Back in 2021 I worked with physicist Sophia Gad-Nasr to draw her research for dark matter black holes that was looking into how such massive black holes can be created 🥰✨
