Dr. Pamela L. Gay is an astronomer, technologist, and creative focused on using new media to engage people in learning and doing science. Join her as we map our Solar System in unprecedented detail through citizen science projects at CosmoQuest.org, and learn astronomy through media productions like Astronomy Cast & EVSN.tv.
Today, @fcain.universetoday.com & I record ep **750** of @astronomycast.com. While the number is one of those numbers human brains deem as special, we don't have anything special planned; it's just another day to talk science.
Topic: SN Early Warning System

I'm trying to sort out how to get calling my congress critters into my daily schedule. Apparently, this is now something I do while waiting for my coffee to brew.
I feel like I am weaponizing my pre-caffinated self.
Have you installed 5-calls yet?

If anorexia is a deadly and not always treatable disease in humans, don't we have to ask if it would also be deadly to a nation?
Our nation's budget is used to keep our nation healthy.

@cgsines yup. It is the kind of thing we as a planet need to take notice of.
Have you heard of asteroid 2024 YR4?
I wrote an essay on this asteroid that may have its orbit set on hitting us ... or not. Probably not. BUT MAYBE... at the 2.2% level
Read & join me in celebrating the little asteroid that could (but probably won't).
Iām trying to keep my Feb tradition of reading only Black authors alive.
