Many have asked if we will continue to continue #blindguess during the writers strike. Now that #Jeopardy is back, we decided that as long as the strike is going on, we will NOT be having Jeopardy Blind Guess. This is our personal decision & we hope everyone respects it. 🙏JBGF

I can’t get over these images from the James Webb Space Telescope! They’re igniting curiosity and wonder in a whole new generation.

Never diss the family wine. As @WolfBlassWines also has a screw cap it's worth pointing out that the quality of good cork is decreasing and screw caps actually have a tighter, more durable seal, especially if you are shipping over millions of miles. Picard family vintage is exquisite.

Wheel of Fortune went about this all wrong First you subject the contestants and viewers to an endless parade of temps who don’t prepare before hosting Then the producer in charge of the search says “Actually, *I* would be the perfect host” Then “jk we have two hosts now”

Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!)

Look in the upper arm of this galaxy- you'll see a star appear to blink in and out of existence. That's a supernova! Very recently discovered in m101: the Pinwheel galaxy (which I happened to be shooting when this happened)

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.

Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?

We used steel plates for some of the Morpheus launch locations so we weren’t tied down to places with concrete. I analyzed the heating of the sheet and showed that the heat would redistribute fast enough that it would not locally melt on the surface, and… /1 – at Alafaya, FL
Replying to @SciGuySpace
3 months ago, we started building a massive water-cooled, steel plate to go under the launch mount. Wasn’t ready in time & we wrongly thought, based on static fire data, that Fondag would make it through 1 launch. Looks like we can be ready to launch again in 1 to 2 months.

I hope you all get to see this wonderful film! Even though I had nothing to do with the making of it, I am proud of it nonetheless. #bydhttmwfi #ButterflyintheSkydoc

.@NASA will unveil the first ever images from its James Webb Space Telescope today - but manages expectations by saying the first snaps will be 'blurry and repetitive'. First target was a sun-like star HD 84406, in the constellation Ursa Major. #JWST #Webb #Space
