I think this is my favourite image from last week's northern lights storm. During the burst of activity at 00:19am we had beams raining down in red and greens, filling the sky above the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory. flic.kr/p/2qnY8mm #aurora #jodrellbank

JWST is on Day 1000 in space today. We have not needed to adjust a single primary actuator since April 2nd (our plan was every two weeks). The imaging performance is still better than twice requirements. Basically, it's still incredibly awesome!

News organizations keep expressing shock that Kamala Harris just delivered the best televised debate performance ever. Talk to more Black and Brown women in your lives. You'll be less surprised.

I just took a Zoom call from my outdoor trampoline. I had the video off. I was so excited - jumping, flipping, giggling, - until my team (of like 20 people) said, "AMY WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?". It turns out I'd forgotten to mute myself. 😫
