I'm on my way to a @ScienceDems hearing to speak to the NASA Administrator. Earlier this month, the White House proposed huge cuts to NASA's budget — I am going to fight this with everything I've got, just like we did last year.
Follow along to hear how it goes.

Retired NASA astronaut and U.S. Navy Captain @astro_suni will join Vast as an Astronaut Advisor. With 608 days in space, 62+ hrs of spacewalks, Williams has also held key NASA leadership roles serving as Deputy Chief of the Astronaut Office and Commander of multiple expeditions. vastspace.com/updates/vast-a…

Hang in there, Voyager 1! We're looking forward to celebrating your 50 years in space next year!
To conserve power, engineers at @NASAJPL have turned off an instrument on Voyager 1 – but the science continues!
Voyager 1 has two remaining science instruments – one that listens to plasma waves and one that measures magnetic fields. Learn more: science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyag…

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman just testified before Congress that both the Lunar Gateway habitable modules delivered to NASA (HALO and I-HAB) were corroded. 🚨

8 scientists in the US, involved with classified space-related research have disappeared or died in the recent past. I had a look at what is going on. It is definitely... odd.

Today I’m honored to help launch Astronauts For America—a nonpartisan effort to strengthen constitutional principles & civic responsibility.
From space, you see what unites us is greater than what divides us.
Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Magnetic storms are expected on Earth due to a coronal hole on the Sun
Scientists predict that on September 13 and 14, 2025, the geomagnetic situation on Earth will change significantly. Magnetic storms of the G2-G3 level (the second and third of five possible) are expected. The cause will be a large coronal hole that has formed on the Sun and has come out to the center of its disk. Streams of high-speed solar wind emanating from this area are directed directly to the Earth and will reach its magnetosphere in the coming days.

One of Stephen Hawking’s scientifically most influential works was confirmed last week by a strong gravitational wave signal.
The signal was detected in January this year by the LIGO/Virgo/Karga collaboration that combines 4 gravitational wave interferometers in the USA, Italy, and Japan. The analysis revealed that the event was a merger of two black holes of roughly 30 solar masses each, and also that of the final black hole.
Hawking’s prediction (known as the “black hole area theorem”) was that since the surface area of black holes (which is proportional to the square of the mass) determines their entropy, the total surface area can only increase in a merger. The new observation confirms this beautifully.

What’s really at stake if NASA’s science budget gets slashed and entire science missions are canceled?
We asked the scientists leading those missions, and their stories reveal what we all stand to lose.
Here’s what they told us: planetary.org/articles/scien…
