A new Uranus study! The Sun's variability even out at the distant planet Uranus may have misled us for decades about that planet's plasma environment (see bonus NOT-to-scale cartoon from JPL)! Good overview by @Astro_Jonny below. Actual paper here: nature.com/articles/s4155…

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the planet's magnetosphere seemed super weird. There was no plasma, and the radiation belts were mega intense. Now we might know why, because of rare solar activity hitting the planet. Story by me @nytimes nytimes.com/2024/11/11/sci…

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important. We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

Remember the GOP’s attempts to repeal the ACA? Dems did not have the votes to stop them. Nevertheless, patients kept up a relentless rotation of meetings in Congress, activists in wheelchairs performed civil disobedience, and lawmakers used every tactic possible. The GOP lost.

1. We have to fight every fight in Congress. We won’t always win, but we can slow or sometimes limit Trump’s destruction. With every fight, we can build political power to put more checks on his administration and build the foundation for future wins.

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein. When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who…

What accounts for the unexpected smoothness and lack of large debris in Vega's circumstellar disk? Odd results from JWST point to a lot we don't know about planet formation, especially compared to other protoplanetary disks. centauri-dreams.org/2024/11/05/veg…

I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Like everyone, part of it was voting against someone manifestly unfit for office; but also I voted happily for people who believe in facts, and fairness, and listening, and caring.

I've been mostly working on the internal systems lately for my #Dreamcast engine. The PC port gave me the debugging tools I needed to improve complex systems like the memory manager. • Audio is now working on the Dreamcast version • The renderer runs 20% faster on the…

Paper alert 🚨 the Vega dust disk is RIDICULOUSLY smooth! ⭕️ Amazing symmetry in the new JWST (below) + HST images in our work led by the amazing Kate + Schuyler indicates that no giant planets are present in the system ❌ 🪐 but Earths/super-Earths/Neptunes may be present! 🌍

A nearly 100-billion-mile-diameter debris disk encircles the star Vega. Astronomers have long assumed this was a disk of planet-forming material, but new observations with Hubble and @NASAWebb offer a different verdict. "The Vega disk is smooth, ridiculously smooth."

Pro-tip: Always search your draft recommendation letter for the name of the *previous* institution you just wrote a letter of recommendation for before submitting your new rec letter. Wouldn't believe how many rec letters I've read with wrong institution mentioned : ) #postdocs
