How cool is this plot from Hugo Vivien's new paper on the K2-138 system (one of my personal faves!), showing transits of four different planets within ~24 hours with CHEOPS.

This is increasingly my experience on Twitter/X as well, that replies are just rubbish and there's very little scope for discovery/learning/asking questions. Still one of the saddest outcomes about how I've spent my time over the last decade!

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Once again I had a great jet-lag-free time traveling long distance (9 hour time change to/from Italy) with FlyKitt. Last night my family crashed out hard from 7:30pm to 3:45am, I was 9:30pm-6:30am. (Not a paid promotion but they did send me a free sample kit a couple years ago which got me hooked!)

So you’re at the Leonardo da Vinci museum in Rome, which is in a lovely Renaissance building. In the basement you find a body of water with a model of one of da Vinci’s swimming machines near an old stone slab. You read that is the tomb of one of Julius Caesar’s lieutenants. Your face: 👀👀👀

“Do not use your phone to answer phone calls” is not advice as much as it’s a condemnation of regulatory inaction that has led a vital means of communication to ruin.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
