It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

In the midst of Putin's horrific invasion of Ukraine, I want to express my solidarity with the many thousands of Russians who are out on the streets protesting the war. In an authoritarian society, they are risking their freedom and lives. They are showing incredible courage.

#OnThisDay in 1943, a volcano suddenly burst through a Mexican farmer's cornfield and built itself up to 50 m in height in just 24 hours! Paricutin volcano continued to erupt ash and lava bombs until January 1952, building up into a 424m (1,391ft) cinder cone volcano!

So…you’ve heard that the Webb telescope will be orbiting Lagrange point 2. But what even is that, anyway? And how do you orbit something that isn’t an object? We’ve got you! Here’s a thread ⬇️ #UnfoldTheUniverse

Due to the precision of our launch and our first two mid-course corrections, our team has determined that Webb should have enough fuel to allow support of science operations for significantly more than a 10-year science lifetime! 💫 blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/…
