Check out this new visualization from Universe of Learning — Stephan's Quintet: A Multi-wavelength Exploration.

Based on data from Hubble, Spitzer, Chandra, and JWST, take a 3D journey through the galaxies in Stephan's Quintet. See the stretched-out features from the gravitational interactions between the galaxies, the shocks created as they run into one another, and the secret supermassive black hole obscured by dust.

Scientists, teachers, amateur astronomers, informal educators:

Do you plan on giving a presentation about JWST? Did you know STScI has full slide decks available, geared towards a general audience, with extensive speaker notes and links to resources?

Check out the new slide deck celebrating one year of JWST science:

We’ve taken light data detected by four of our telescopes—@ChandraXray, @NASAWebb, @NASAHubble, and Spitzer Space Telescope—and turned them into sound. Hear what some galaxies and stars sound like: https://go.nasa.gov/3PjoNzt

Not long to wait now until the launch of our #EuclidMission 🚀

Euclid is a 1.2m diameter telescope with state-of-the-art optical & IR cameras that’ll take images & spectra of billions of galaxies over 36% of the sky & thus tease out the effects of dark matter & dark energy on the evolution of our universe 🔭

Here’s Robin McKie’s take – expect much more in the coming weeks 🙂👍

What does the orange sky over NYC from Canadian wildfires have to do with the location of our Sun in the galaxy?

Let me explain!

As an autistic woman I never understand when I hear from other women about how they feel a certain way when they dress nicely. I have no feelings about clothing at all other than I need more pockets. I don’t look even in a mirror because eye contact (even with myself) is startling.

But yesterday I felt like maybe the nice feelings I have when I ride my nice blue steel bike is the closest I’ll ever feel to those feelings.

I feel my best on a bicycle.

Automobiles 👉 Myth. Vs. Reality

Paris: Schafft 60.000 Parkplätze ab

Oslo: Innenstadt ist parkplatzfrei

Amsterdam: 11.200 Parklätze im Zentrum fallen weg

Mailand: Schafft 750km geschützte Radwege bis 2035

Berlin: CDU stoppt alle Radverkehrsprojekte bei denen 1 Fahrspur oder 1 Parkplatz wegfallen könnte.

Cars 🚗🚙🚖 are having a hard time learning how it is to share the streets with others 🚲 🚶‍♀️ 🚌 🚃👇

In 1940, Peierls co-authored a famous memorandum with Otto Frisch, discussing the feasibility of developing an atomic bomb with a small amount of uranium-235.

He eventually led the British Mission of scientists who joined the Manhattan Project, working in New York and Los Alamos.

Here is an (audio!) interview with Sir Rudolph, from the "Voices of the Manhattan Project" oral history project, where he discusses his time at Los Alamos.

How fast do we need to cut emissions?
Here I explain this last week at the World Circular Economy Forum #WCEF23 in Helsinki.
It simply is a race against time.
Make no mistake.
Stakes could not be higher.

All the new information about climate change from scientists falls into two categories: it confirms predications made decades ago by scientists and climate models, like this story; or the climate changes and impacts will be worse than we anticipated.

We’re pedalling our way to climate neutrality on World Bicycle Day! 🚲

This summer, we will propose a European Declaration on Cycling, inviting the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union to sign up for it.

It will ensure that all our European initiatives, wherever possible, include a cycling dimension; supporting sustainable urban mobility plans, doubling the number of safe cycling infrastructures, or creating more bicycle parking facilities.

Unique feature of Skeptical Science: 480 translations into 20 languages of our collection of climate-myth-busting articles.

Volunteers power our translation factory. Few organizations could afford to pay for this work but the generous spirit of our volunteers earns what money can't.

With our massive myth rebuttal update project in progress we need more translation energy. Interested in helping? Click the link for more info, or DM @BaerbelW here. Boosts appreciated!

I can't stop thinking about this study of "traffic evaporation" - when an important road is closed, where does the traffic go? In most cases, some traffic disappears completely, and longer-term life choices may be partly responsible.
