@DJSnM Thanks! I was just wondering where I could get something to check my meter, since old lantern mantles seem hard to come by lately

[Peter Beck @Peter_J_Beck]

Mars, here we come.

[Phyllis Whittlesey @phyllisAndFire]

Get pumped to go to Mars, y'all! Super stoked to be working with @RocketLab on this excellent ESCAPADE to the red planet.

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Photon is going to Mars! Two Photons to be exact. We’ve been awarded a contract by @UCBerkeley to design two Photon spacecraft for @NASA’s ESCAPADE mission to Mars. Learn more: https://t.co/r3YKpx60Df

@DavidStansby When I give outreach talks to kids I refer to them as "sun farts". Hot gas, explosions, etc.

@dwcssl I knew I recognized that image from somewhere....

[Phyllis Whittlesey @phyllisAndFire]

@RobLillis @1trishanne @NASASun @ucbssl Thanks @RobLillis! Believe it or not ESCAPADE is an artfully crafted acronym (well done, Rob!) and a super exciting mission in development to Mars.

@yeimyrivera_sol @draleidakate @KellyKorreck @MihoJnvr @SamBasileTweets @plasma_barb Omg I'm blushing. Y'all are all amazing. Keep it up!

[Phyllis Whittlesey @phyllisAndFire]

Excited to get educated about building scientific teams in an effective and positive fashion. We can do it better with science and scholarship! @cyberlyra #PI_daily #oknotreallydaily

@dwcssl @CixinLiu @AstroKatie Out of the three books, did you have a favorite?

[Phyllis Whittlesey @phyllisAndFire]

@ltelkins Boletus? I used to hunt these but never worked up the courage to eat any of my finds

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

Our Sun & the environment around it is very dynamic. This instrument suite will not only help us learn more about our space environment, but we'll also learn how to improve forecasting space weather wherever the #Artemis Generation journeys away from Earth https://t.co/2efjUo1jbj

@allanrmacneil I will join you on this quest.

[Phyllis Whittlesey @phyllisAndFire]

Woohoo!! This is fantastic news, congrats @CanberraDSN ! Do you guys win a prize, or at least bragging rights over @GoldstoneDSN and @MadridDSN ?

[CanberraDSN 📡 @CanberraDSN]

This was #DSS43 in touch with @NASA's #StereoB yesterday. It was a very happy day for all! https://t.co/v97F2t1QmX
