One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

Last week was bitter sweet visiting the .@NAICobservatory where I got my start in planetary science It was great being with #TeamRadar & others who have worked with & love this facility Also renews the utter disappointment w/the .@NSF decision to end AO science #rebuildarecibo

1 of the pics is the recently upgraded, fully functioning 12m telescope that does excellent solar and astro physics. But on Aug 14, everyone who knows how to operate the telescopes will be forced to leave. Without clear plans to maintain, the obs will be overtaken by the jungle

I'm too busy to write a thread yet, but did you see that JWST CAPTURED THE SHADOW OF STARLIGHT CAST BY RINGS AROUND A TINY ICE BALL OUT BEYOND SATURN!?!? This high-precision feat was led by Pablo Santos-Sanz using a tiny bit of my JWST Guaranteed Time. blogs.nasa.gov/webb/
