Scientists using JWST snapped this stunning photo of the center of the Milky Way, and there are some intriguing mysteries hiding within it.

I'm taking a break from space videos through the end of the year BUT I will be back in the new year with a lot more stuff!! I just needed to give myself some time off.

@skrishna Swapna! I started your Stargazing book today and it's a lovely little read. I love how you've opened it up to other cultures and I'm learning from that.
I'm going to have to look into the bit about the "dark side of the Moon", that sounded interesting.

I’m really excited to be working on a series of profiles of women in science for Wired , and the first one is up.

Beauty science is underrated, and I so appreciate Michelle Wong's beauty science breakdowns, mythbusting, and sunscreen recommendations. Scicomm on social media is hard and she does it SO WELL:

JWST took this STUNNING photo of the Crab Nebula, and it's helping scientists learn more about its origins. Here's more over at my YouTube channel:

@skrishna Firstly, I was so happy to hear the positive update regarding your eyesight recently! Second, been enjoying the heck out of your book.

And now a question... Have you heard of any new Star Trek books, either Strange New Worlds or Discovery, in the pipeline? Feels like forever since that great SNW book and I'm so eager for more!

I keep checking the memory alpha website, but they don't even have a SNW book section :ablobcatcry:

A NASA mission to the metal asteroid 16 Psyche launched today. Here's why we're going to this asteroid and what scientists hope to learn from this very cool mission.

There's a satellite that's brighter than almost every star in our night sky.

I don't think I have to tell you that this is NOT good.

Hubble captured a strange bright light between galaxies. We know it's a fast blue optical transient -- but there are a lot more questions than answers here.

I actually posted reviews of the books I read in September which hasn't happened for like 5+ years (mostly because I haven't read enough books in a month to justify writing one)

An annular eclipse, or "ring of fire" eclipse, will be visible across parts of North America and South America on October 14, 2023. Here's how to see it.
