Opinion: If a politician takes AIPAC money, I don’t vote for them. I’m done pretending foreign military aid matters more than healthcare, housing, wages, and dignity at home. Criticizing power isn’t antisemitism. Supremacy is the problem. Period.
If a politician takes AIPAC money, that’s a candidate I don’t vote for. Period. That’s how I know they’re working for a foreign country and

The fact that they think this makes them look strong instead of stupid says alot about what we’re up against
Good night, sweet prince. Learn all about the legacy of Spitzer Space Telescope from @nasajpl ・・・ After more than 16 years of revealing the universe in light our eyes cannot see, @NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope will come to a close on Jan. 30. Click the link in our bio to find what it found and how it worked for so long: go.nasa.gov/2ulD3jI #space #science #Spitzer #NASA #JPL #Caltech #IPAC #IR #infrared #astro #photography #cool #sky #astronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oyjOFJkV2/?igshid=n4jbovs6uvqj
Now at the end of its life, the #Kepler K2 mission has discovered over 2300 exoplanets, moreso than any other space mission thus far. Though hypothesized to exist in previous decades, the first exoplanet(s) were discovered in 1992 and to this day, we are learning more and more about them. Gaia is another survey that will help in the detection and add this number. This week, we welcome BJ Fulton from the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute as well as Caltech and IPAC to discuss Exoplanet Demographics in the Era of Gaia. You can read his paper about the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) HERE: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.01453.pdf Join us this Friday from 12-1PM in UCLA's Geology Building for his exciting talk! Be sure to follow @UCLAiPLEX on #Instagram, Twitter, and our other social media outlets as we seek to share the fascinating world of planetary #science and #astronomy with everyone!

Carrie Nugent
(born approximately 1984) Asteroid hunter
Dr. Carrie Nugent is a staff scientist at NASA’s Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at Caltech, and a member of the NEOWISE team seeking new asteroids. She noted a lack of asteroids named after women and people of color—resulting in asteroids named after Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Malala Yousafzai. She is the host and producer of a weekly astronomy podcast titled Spacepod.
Number 144 in an ongoing series celebrating remarkable women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
WASP-18 b Illustration
WASP-18 b, seen in an artist concept, is a gas giant exoplanet 10 times more massive than Jupiter that orbits its star in just 23 hours. Researchers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study the planet as it moved behind its star. Temperatures there reach 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,700 C).
Scientists identified water vapor in the atmosphere of WASP-18 b, and made a temperature map of the planet as it slipped behind, and reappeared from, its star. This event is known as a secondary eclipse. Scientists can read the combined light from star and planet, then refine the measurements from just the star as the planet moves behind it.
The same side, known as the dayside, of WASP-18 b always faces the star, just as the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. The temperature, or brightness, map shows a huge change in temperature – up to 1,000 degrees – from the hottest point facing the star to the terminator, where day and night sides of the tidally-locked planet meet in permanent twilight.​

The Long View,
The true—and vast—complexity of the universe was captured in this vista recorded by a pair of automated telescopes, one in the U.S. and one in the Chilean desert. From our little perch inside the Milky Way, the image shows the universe stretching out for about a billion light years, which is only a small fraction of its total size. Each of the 50,000 dots represents an entire galaxy. The Earth, once believed to sit at the center of it all, is in truth a cosmic afterthought.
