[Dr. Graham Lau @cosmobiologist]

"Stretching the mind across time—even in the most speculative ways—can help us become more responsible planetary stewards: It can help endow us with the time literacy necessary for tackling long-term challenges such as biodiversity loss, microplastics accumulation, climate change, antibiotic resistance, asteroid impacts, sustainable urban planning, and more."

How do you envision our future?

With so much unknown about what even constitutes a “sign of life,” astrobiologists are working on a new framework. It acknowledges that scientific exploration in the search for life beyond Earth is a twisted, winding road, rather than straightforward path. https://t.co/Jjr7LkdYTL

It’s kind of weird that we were all at the Big Bang. Like the matter and energy in our bodies was all there. Then we floated in space, we were part of different stars, we exploded in supernovae, we came together as part of a planet, and at the moment, we’re a bunch of people.

The coronation of Charles will cost more in 3 days than the funding for all of UK astronomy and particle physics combined in over 2 years

It is a matter of priorities where a country decides to invest its resources.

No one, presently, sees the Moon rotate like this. That's because it's tidally locked to the Earth, showing us only one side

But thanks to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, this virtual rotation movie has been composed

"Changes in ocean circulation can affect uptake of both heat and CO2 over many thousands of years," says @CarnegieEcology's @KenCaldeira, adding that today's decisions about energy systems and deforestation will affect the Earth's climate for millennia. https://t.co/sGb46yfOnE

On Friday, the sun put on a dazzling show for us. My friend @TheVastReaches and I worked hard over the last 5 days to produce this incredibly detailed 140 megapixel image to illustrate how wonderfully dynamic and beautiful our star can be. Make sure you zoom in!

@MrStephenHowson @NicolaouKypros you are the right person for the role my friend!

@Life2nBeyond @cosmobiologist @ryant_kirby @BlueMarbleSpace @sciworthy @saganorg Is the talk available to listen to for anyone who missed it?

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

I'm watching the sunset, and am struck with the realization that I'm sitting on a habitable planet looking at a normal star that gave us some energy and somehow led to the origin of life, consciousness, and intelligence. How is any of this real 🤯

Since I'm in Pudecherry, India, let me tell you a bit about the world's unluckiest astronomer, one Guillaume Le Gentil. This is a crazy story, so pull up a chair. 1/

[Martin Bauer @martinmbauer]

That 'Big Science is very expensive' talking point is useless without a reference point.

The full budget of CERN -the largest particle physics laboratory in the world- costs each member state resident about 2.50 € *per year*. Literally the price of a bag of peanuts.

On a lighter note, Daniil just wrote me to cheer me up after beating me, and apologize for his celebration on air. Told him I did not see it, and it would upset me more when people stop celebrating after beating me. Congrats to a most worthy opponent and great dude!

[Physics at Bath @BathPhysics]

Why is it impossible to “unmake” a cup of coffee? This is because of a concept in thermal physics, called entropy. So what is entropy actually? It is a strange idea that pops up in seemingly unrelated conversations about information, disorder, thermodynamics, black holes and time
