My reach has dropped significantly in the past few days, and it feels like my account isn’t getting much backing lately. If you appreciate the effort I put into my work, a little support would mean a lot.

#OTD in 1988, astronomers aboard NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory made the first direct observation of Pluto's atmosphere. Nearly 27 years later, the New Horizons spacecraft captured this image about 3.5 hours after closest approach on July 14, 2015.

“Freedom is everything,” Harold Terens, a 101-year-old U.S. veteran who was in Normandy for the anniversary, said. “I pray for freedom for the whole world. For the war to end in Ukraine, and Russia, and Sudan and Gaza. I think war is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.”…

@Erdayastronaut It actually has done enormous harm to wildlife. It wreaks havoc on nocturnal migrants, especially birds. Has altered the behaviors of insects. Just because things look ok, doesn't mean they are. Light pollution is still pollution. Adding more of it from space isn't better.

The *wildlife* world has suffered immense harm from artificial lighting, from insects to birds to squirrels and more. This disrupts the natural functionality of Spaceship Earth's Life-Support systems. As a human astronaut aboard SS Earth, please consider future habitability.

Odd. @NASASpaceSci shows continuity between an aging space telescope & an exciting follow-on mission - except that the @NASA budget says @NASAHubble will be shut down & its successor @NASARoman will be cancelled. But this is how we make America Great In Space Again, right?…

It's funny, we think of ND as a very "hometown" kind of place. But other than natives, the first "locals" who could claim three generations in the same small town weren't born until the later 20th century. Even in 1950s, most people's grandparents were from somewhere else.

🎉 After what I can only assume was massive pushback from farmers and meteorologists, the Department of Commerce has renewed funding for NOAA's Regional Climate Centers. All six are now back online.

More loading than you'd initially think. Space structures are sometimes most at risk from humans' contact.

Luuucy, 'splain that if you can! The first images from the #LucyMission's asteroid Donaldjohanson flyby show an elongated contact binary shape, with an odd narrow neck between the two lobes. More data from Lucy will be analyzed in the coming weeks. go.nasa.gov/42mUZrJ
