Such an amazing accomplishment! Go @NASA, @esa, and @csa_asc ! May the successes of the #JWST help further enlighten humanity! Congratulations to all those that have worked on and contributed to this mission!
Two weeks after launch, @NASAWebb has hit its next biggest milestone: the mirrors have completed deployment and the next-generation telescope has taken its final form. Next up for Webb? Five months of alignment and calibration before we start getting images:

That's what has been hitting NorCal. That is most impressive! A bonafide #BombCyclone is what this shows. May the otherwise drying out reservoirs fill up and stay filled up with this rain! #California Please #NoMoreDrought ?

If you are on the US West Coast and would like to know what is going on with weather, here it is, as of Oct 24, 2021, 5:00 PM Pacific Time. #BombCyclone #CAwx #AtmosphericRiver #Seattle #BOMBOGENESIS #BCStorm #Californiawx #Oregonwx #SevereWeather #flooding #weather #wxtwitter
Update w/ some good news from the scene of my last vids. Water's now receded a bit. No gushing out of the manhole, the creek's down a tick or two. Crossing our fingers that the ferocity of the rain does not return to bring the level back up! #SonomaCounty #BombCyclone #California

It’s official— At 942mb this storm is now the strongest in the NE Pacific. Broke previous record set by a storm in 1977. #BombCyclone – at Medford, OR
Well, it looks like this low has reached it's lowest pressure at 942.5 mb. Luckily, our buoy 46005 ended up nearly in the center of the low so we were able to watch the pressure decrease this morning. To see more buoy data visit ndbc.noaa.gov/

Fairly #intense flooding in certain #SantaRosa areas. Water from adjoining Colgan creek continues to rise up through a manhole causing accident concerns. Creekside resident appears to be having home pumped to save it. #BombCyclone #California #SonomaCounty.

More #flooding #video from #Roseland in #SonomaCounty #SantaRosa #ColganCreek. Manhole cover has water gushing out and other draining going backwards. House nearby on the verge of starting to be flooded. Residents staying positive #BombCyclone 2of2

Hatt ip to the folks at @creativebloq and author @Tom_May for featuring my demonstration video of Holbein's "The Ambassadors" from 1533 in their article on the painting. #illusion #spooky #skull #anamorphic
Is this 16th century optical illusion the oldest (and darkest) ever? trib.al/s7SRAIY
Very cool to see the folks at Big Think featuring my video on the anamorphosis illusion in The Ambassadors painting by Hans Holbein from 1533 in their article on the painting. #Cool #Art #Illusion #history #BigThink Hat tip! :-)
The German artist Hans Holbein painted death as it appeared in life — omnipresent and hidden in plain sight. Did you spot the creepy skull hidden in "The Ambassadors"? bigthink.com/high-culture/op…

Watching #NASA #livestream on #YouTube to see the landing of #PerseveranceRover m.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lG… exciting! May this suceed and lead to another martian surface mission!
Just watched an excellent mini-doc on Engineer and #Mythbuster #GrantImahara vimeo.com/470861917 A foundation in his name has been setup supporting #STEAM grantimaharafoundation.org may it inspire youths to follow his science, tech, engineering, arts, and mathematics footsteps.
Damn that is sad news to hear of the passing of James Randi. His media presence of a strong and steady voice of #reason and #rationality has been a beacon of light for decades. Hopefully his foundation will continue along with the annual Pigasus award tradition. #RIPJamesRandi
Goodbye to the truly Amazing James Randi, our inspiration, mentor and dear friend. We will love you forever. @jref
If the US were a teenager then Trump would be the uncle that took you to a monster truck show, got drunk at the end, then had a fender bender in the parking lot while telling you he'll get you home safe and sound. Biden is your level headed dad who you call to come pick you up.
