Putting on your Easter best like... 💅
We don't know who the woman in this compelling work is but her elegant dress and jewellery indicate that, like many of Frans Hals’s patrons, she may have been a wealthy citizen of Haarlem: bit.ly/3nuUkm1

Mercury, our solar system’s innermost planet, is not only hard to reach but remains frustratingly stubborn in giving up its secrets.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all regarding Venus volcanoes ...

Here it is.
The most comprehensive catalogue of volcanoes ever compiled for Venus, and probably for any planet, anywhere.
And @volcanoBec and I have just published it.

CNN team robbed while working on San Francisco street crime story
If I told you how much I endorse this statement, you would swear I was exaggerating.

Our Solar System has two Earth-sized planets, with widely different evolutions. Until we understand how these worlds diverged, I worry we will never understand the habitability of worlds we can never visit around other stars. Venus has never been more important. #SaveVERITAS twitter.com/Planetguy_Bln/…

Russia Reportedly Supplying Enriched Plutonium to China
I wrote this article on the search for E.T. technosignatures for Physics World magazine in the U.K. in 2008. I had the privilege of interviewing the late British-American physicist Freeman Dyson who is quoted in my piece. His ideas live on.
The Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) is set to totally replace the NRAO’s existing Very Large Array (VLA) of movable large radio dishes near Socorro, New Mexico by late next decade.

Sentinels keep watch.
Two U.S. Navy Master-at-Arms stand watch aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) somewhere in the South China Sea recently. Nimitz is in U.S. 7th Fleet conducting routine operations.

Jupiter-like analogs may stymie the evolution of multiple stable earthlike planets within a given solar system. And that’s likely why our own solar system has little but a field of asteroids between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Honored to host today in Cannes a stunning event focusing on #Euclid satellite, a one-of-a-kind science mission meant to study dark matter and dark Energy.

Hellas basin, on planet Mars, imaged by the 's Viking missions. Being 7 km deep and 2300 km large, it is the largest impact crater on Mars. It likely formed during the Late Heavy Bombardment, about 4 billion years ago

Who says you need a conventional telescope to find exoplanets? NASA has funded a 'Phase I’ study for the development of a whole new means of detecting and then teasing spectra from very nearby exoplanetary earths.

Got to meet up with my old friend last week in France . Just a few more weeks until Euclid heads to Florida for a July launch! Dark energy, we are coming for you!

Roses are red;
Violets are blue;
Venus is awesome;
Mars is crap!
Sorry, I prefer accuracy over rhymes. 🥰
Happy Valentines Day from the planet of beauty and love!! (P.S. j/k Mars, I love you too!)
