New results from the world's most sensitive #DarkMatter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe's invisible mass. @BerkeleyLab#ParticlePhysics https://t.co/xf1I6HamXq
So many times the views from the @Space_Station cupola give us pause as we absorb the indescribable beauty in front of us. A time lapse of a rich star field cascading down and peeking through the Earth’s translucent upper atmosphere several weeks ago was just such a moment.
Soak in the visual beauty but also sit with the moving original score “Satellite Dance” that my friend, Chicago based guitarist, Thomas Clippert composed for this video. His performance is magical. Enjoy.
PS: Look for a collection of brighter objects dancing horizontally across the frame near the end of the video. These are satellites catching the sun’s rays as they orbit the Earth.
Physics students often ask how it is that a massless photon can have momentum. Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln shows that the question arises from a misuse of equations and also shows that, when you think about it, it’s not surprising at all.

How do you decide? Here is a good metric. Would you stay here? Would you put your grandmother or mother here? Let me go work on this presentation and shut my mouth. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
