Are we still doing these? Seeing this data in map form brings some order to the chaos of life...

[Steven R. Cranmer @solarstellar]

@strangersceness Great scene. On our first watch, we accidentally went from ep6 to ep8 (this one), then had to go back to watch ep7 (the lost sister). Weirdly, I think that order was way more impactful & satisfying than the intended order!

@owenbroadcast Weird. I'm clearly yellow, but I'm from central NJ. My wife's family is from that yellow part of PA, and they sound very different to me...

Raise a glass of grappa in honor of the late Pino Tondello (1938-2025)...

@XFilesAesthetic Noho on the roho!

@DungeonNoir @GetFitWithJared Knight's Tale begins with the death of the actual knight... but it wasn't from a high-level battle... 😁

Catherine Tate & Freema Agyeman both must be a bit weirded out right now...

[Steven R. Cranmer @solarstellar]

Probably Watergate, because the hearings on PBS pre-empted Sesame Street!

Interesting data! I'm surprised not to see Eddie Murphy or Adam Sandler. And Charles Rocket won his year despite getting fired mid-way through!

Congratulations to Andrew Dismukes, who lead the cast in sketch appearances in Season 50, joining these #SNL greats who have accomplished the feat!

We may actually have a Pope who would understand all of the Father Guido Sarducci jokes that I've been coming up with! (Has anyone interviewed Don Novello??)

@atheorist Murrrrrph!

[Steven R. Cranmer @solarstellar]

@planet4589 Oh, no. I was hoping to see him when I visit CfA in the fall... 🙁

@david_kipping @peterathertonc1 There's a bit of ambiguity with the word "administrator," I think. When people talk about admin bloat, it's more the deans, VPs, vice-chancellors, and such... not the hard-working staff who run departments...

[Steven R. Cranmer @solarstellar]

@HelsinHashtags It feels similar to past federal shutdowns. If your university already has the $$, it can keep spending it. But if you're waiting on a federal agency to send new $$... that's what may be delayed for a bit...

Thank you Dawn for the picture and the write up! The full size Parker Solar Probe blew me away. How big (compared to me) and how small when you think how close it is to the Sun! Scale model at AGU. 

 Three cycles of Sun, 
Tenacity lights the path, 
Dreams touch solar winds

Nothing good ever arrived in one of these...

I'm this old.

[Steven R. Cranmer @solarstellar]

@DVerscharen @MSSLSpacePlasma @ESASolarOrbiter Interesting! I'll read the paper, of course... but when I see these plots, I can't quite get a certain song out of my head...

[Steven R. Cranmer @solarstellar]

@bossypants72 @turtledumplin Mmm hmm hmm, in heavy syrup!

[Steven R. Cranmer @solarstellar]

Whoa... this is an *X-ray* spectrum!

[Brian Williams @bjwilli2]

The XRISM spectrum of Cyg X-3, a high-mass X-ray binary consisting of a compact object (likely a black hole) and a WR star. XRISM reveals a rich set of emission and absorption lines with complex profiles

tl;dr: most amazing spectrum I've ever seen 😮😮
