Just, wow.

Twins! JPL's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on @NASAWebb revealed that one long-studied star is TWO, and disks of dust and gas encircle them. Because the stars' are just entering adulthood, it's possible planets are forming in those disks: https://t.co/B07YELlecu

@NPR listening to your FAFSA story on All Things Considered, and here is what the FSA site has looked like since last night. It took my son months to get his account working, be able to login, and apply. Now we can’t check to see if we have done everything we need to.

Training AI models with @krswan at @PCInnoInstitute! I’m using this with my students! Trained a model to recognize a gesture and manipulate a servo to match it on a robot controlled by a microbit. #teachablemachines #machinelearning #pd4pc #makelearning

@AlexRBarron They fixed it! The colors match now.

Amazing view of @SpaceX #FalconHeavy from central Palm Beach County - could clearly see separation and much of the return of the boosters. The engines weren’t firing for much of the return, just sunlight shining on the boosters.
