Interesting data! I'm surprised not to see Eddie Murphy or Adam Sandler. And Charles Rocket won his year despite getting fired mid-way through!
Congratulations to Andrew Dismukes, who lead the cast in sketch appearances in Season 50, joining these #SNL greats who have accomplished the feat!
We may actually have a Pope who would understand all of the Father Guido Sarducci jokes that I've been coming up with! (Has anyone interviewed Don Novello??)

Thank you Dawn for the picture and the write up! The full size Parker Solar Probe blew me away. How big (compared to me) and how small when you think how close it is to the Sun! Scale model at AGU.
Three cycles of Sun,
Tenacity lights the path,
Dreams touch solar winds
@LikaG_Helio has devoted 3 solar cycles to Parker Solar Probe, starting as a graduate student and eventually becoming the program scientist at NASA Headquarters, steering the mission from its earliest stages thru confirmation. @NASASun #ParkerSolarProbe #Perseverance #Tenacity
Whoa... this is an *X-ray* spectrum!
The XRISM spectrum of Cyg X-3, a high-mass X-ray binary consisting of a compact object (likely a black hole) and a WR star. XRISM reveals a rich set of emission and absorption lines with complex profiles
tl;dr: most amazing spectrum I've ever seen 😮😮

I've finally seen the aurora with my own eyes! Still, the eyes of my phone camera are a bit better...
I've really been enjoying the NSF SHINE meeting in Juneau this week. But did I just ruin it by agreeing to be on a panel titled "The Things I Wish the Community Would Stop Getting Wrong?" Opinionated bombs shall be thrown, shields shall be splintered...
Today I learned that Hannes had an uncle Hugo, who was a composer and violinist!

So this morning I liked one little post about it being the 120th anniversary of James Joyce's Bloomsday, and a minute later my "For You" tab was full of more... Nothung but Ulysses posts... filled right U.P. (up) with them... 🕵️♂️
Excited to start the Python in Heliophysics Summer School, happening this week at @LASPat CU #PyHCschool24
I blame this APOD for the fact I spent 10 minutes in yesterday's stellar astro class explaining what an Of?p type star is...
How did a star form this beautiful nebula? In the middle of emission nebula NGC 6164 is an unusually massive star. The central star has been compared to an oyster's pearl and an egg protected by the mythical sky dragons of Ara. The star, visible in the center of the featured image and catalogued as HD 148937, is so hot that the ultraviolet light it emits heats up gas that surrounds it. That gas was likely thrown off from the star previously, possibly the result of a gravitational interaction with a looping stellar companion. Expelled material might have been channeled by the magnetic field of the massive star, in all creating the symmetric shape of the bipolar nebula. NGC 6164 spans about four light years and is located about 3,600 light years away toward the southern constellation Norma.
