I watched it Saturday night and last night. It's pretty dang cool. It's very bright and stands outs from stars as it does not twinkle and is much closer to the horizon.

Screenshot is from https://nasa.gov

Hmmm, what does the typical NASA scientist look like in 2024?

Well, if you look through all the missions on their home page this is the only one that shows a group picture of their team https://dragonfly.jhuapl.edu/Our-Team/images/Hybrid%20Team%20Photo_sm.jpg

Wait a second, why are 95+% of the people white but the leader is black? He must be exceptionally qualified.

The filmstrip obtained by the NASA Global Mars Surveyor Mission has at least three separate well defined square formations.

Six planet conjunction

In January and February 2025, six planets will form a giant arc in the evening sky, according to the Farmer's Almanac. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, and Saturn. Then at the end of February, Mercury will join the fun, replacing Saturn.

Where & when to see 6 planets in 2025?

followup to https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=613380d21f0a2

"We have found no evidence at this time that warrants changing the name of the James Webb Space Telescope," current NASA chief Bill Nelson told NPR.

The news, and how it was delivered, did not go over well with University of Washington astrophysicist (((Sarah Tuttle))), one of the petition's four creators:

NASA is relying on cowardice & poor PR technique to leak that they will not be renaming the JWST, named after a career administrator who oversaw homophobic persecution & development of psychological warfare, ignoring the request for reconsideration from 1,200 astronomers

it's a google doc with a submission form

They have ignored both the petitioners and the advisory committee that requested an investigation, and have provided no details on either their research or their decision
