May your fiery descent be as brilliant as those powerful explosions in the universe you spent all your life capturing

We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

Everyone calls their favourite chracters "moe", but I don't really want to imagine my favourite characters being in the Ministry of Education (MOE).
We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Swift, you spent a lifetime watching the biggest explosions in the universe. May your final descent create a brilliant spark of your own.
Swift began its watch on Nov. 20, 2004, when it lifted off aboard a Delta II rocket from here in Florida.
Science operations for our Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have now ended.
With the spacecraft orbiting less than 171 miles (275 kilometers) above Earth, atmospheric drag prevents the satellite’s telescopes from steadily gazing at their cosmic targets. 🧵

ALT This cartoon of the Swift observatory shows it pointing at a target in the sky. Against a black background, the Swift spacecraft has a boxy grey body with long blue solar panels extended on each side and a yellow triangular section pointed out into space. Swift is pointing toward a star on the left that is marked with a triangular pink flag on a blue pole and surrounded by four pink L-shaped brackets. There are five additional targets across the image, three with a blue checkmark above them indicating that Swift has already observed them. This image is watermarked with “Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.”

It's the final countdown 🎶
We're one step closer to Roman's first images! The observatory is now fully functional and the team is performing their final checks and calibrations before starting science observations.

Most galaxies are red(shifted), and some look blue — @NASAHubble, here’s a celestial rose for you! We can’t wait to observe the universe together. #ValentinesDay #JWST #Hubble

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.

Juice is returning to Earth, again 🛰️
On 28 September the spacecraft will fly by Earth, coming within 8640 km of our planet.
The closest approach will be over the Indian Ocean at 13:45 CEST (11:45 UTC) 👉 esa.int/Science_Exploration/…
