This morning, a NASA hero passed away at the age of 101. We honor Katherine Johnson's pioneering spirit and incredible contributions to science and spaceflight. Her dedication and skill as a mathematician helped put humans on the Moon. go.nasa.gov/2vbzYn7

Saddened to learn of the passing of my friend Freeman Dyson nyti.ms/2I30zFA . He was one of the smartest people I've known, and one of the sweetest.

Freeman Dyson, Math Genius Turned Technological Visionary, Dies at 96 (Published 2020)

After an early breakthrough on light and matter, he became a writer who challenged climate science and pondered space exploration and nuclear warfare.

RIP Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson, climate skeptic. "I just don’t see any evidence that global warming is particularly dangerous.” washingtonpost.com/local/obi…

Freeman Dyson, a visionary and renaissance physicist, dies at 96

He helped crack the secrets of the subatomic world, tried to build a spaceship that could carry humans across the solar system and wrote elegantly about science and human destiny.

Wow, just heard that Freeman Dyson has passed away. Besides the more famous Spheres, I've always loved his idea that "Dyson Trees" could be engineered to live on cometary matter. Like in this painting by the great Jon Lomberg.

We're sad to see the news that renowned physicist Freeman Dyson, the futurist who first imagined the concept of a Dyson Sphere, has died. Our best wishes go to his loved ones.

Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun
