The physicist and astronomer Karl Schwarzschild was born #OTD in 1873. In 1915, while serving in the German army on the Russian front, he found the first exact (non-trivial) solution of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Among other things, it describes a non-rotating black hole. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭

Mars’s oddest cloud may be even odder than we thought 🤔 Every spring and summer in Mars’s southern hemisphere a spectacular cloud emerges: the Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud, the most visually striking cloud on the Red Planet. 🔭 🧪

I don't think most people understand how bad the blanket defending of our sciences by people like Vought will make our future

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

What. A. Day. NIH grant-making was paused for several hours today. Not sure who gave the order. But in light of the Friday night Bhattacharya-Vought feud & threatened EO to implement #ScienceDeathPanels, my money is on Russell Vought. I learned of the pause from a colleague around 11:30. 🧵

This is a savage beat down of Mike Rogers and I love it

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

I've written a bit about Terrence Wise, whose pleas for help were ignored at MDC Brooklyn while a tumor grew in his lungs. Here's the latest -- a lawsuit reveals the desperate "sick call" messages he sent begging for results of his CT scan. He died in Nov. 2025. www.nydailynews.com/2026/06/27/l...

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

FYI #SpaceX is leading an uncontrolled global-scale experiment in the upper atmosphere as satellites are vaporized in the upper atmosphere on reentry. The impact on atmospheric chemistry, aerosol microphysics, cloud formation, and radiative effects are not currently well understood. ✨🔭🧪🛰️

Researchers from the University of Rochester created solar-thermal panels that can remove salt and valuable minerals from ocean water, leaving fresh water but also difficult to mine minerals like lithium. Read the OPN story: https://bit.ly/4uUmuoz 💡 ⚛️ 🧪

Looking forward to the AI pump and dump to loot our retirement funds hot on the heels of the SpaceX pump and dump

Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t be taken public. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks. AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS or Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKD...

It's not the fact that grifters exist that is effecting people it's that you feel like a sucker for not being one because they are clearly thriving and no one at any rung of power is going to punish them for it
