My pleasure! Maybe the influence of space on climate? I know a bit about that, and could use an excuse to freshen up my knowledge. :)

I’ll admit: Listening to you (and so many others here) I see all the mistakes I made when I was an educator, and wish I had been more enlightened (and had more access to other voices) at the time. … and I wish more places of learning had better training for educators.

Subscribed! is great, and gave deniers quite the earful a couple of years ago when the misinformers at Breitbart shoveled their usual BS about climate change.

FWIW I’m getting some very interesting replies to this (incl. some, um, less interesting ones on both sides) and I’m listening. Obviously, there are some different ways to see this whole thing, so I’m still thinking about it.

Thank you. I *am* hearing interesting arguments from both sides here. I’m still thinking on this.

I’ve worked with color images of nebulae for a long time, and it’s a deeply interesting (and of course gorgeous) but complicated topic. For lots more on it, go read “Coloring the Universe” by my friends , , and Travis Rector.

I *love* that image, and NGC 604 quickly became a favorite of mine. But I’ve been hoping for years to see a higher-resolution and better color balanced image. provides.

An image released back in the 1990s made it look green! Again, that’s due to the filters used and the choices made in displaying those colors. There *is* green in the nebula (from very thinly dispersed ionized oxygen) but the pic overemphasized this color IMO.

As I mentioned in my article, the two-filter M33 pic from yesterday makes this nebula (called NGC 604) look blue. But it’s actually more red due to abundant warm hydrogen excited by the stars being born inside it. ’s work gives it a more nature color.

This image was put together by , and you should absolutely follow her for tons more of her amazing Hubble work.

Yesterday I posted an amazing Hubble pic of the Triangulum galaxy. Now let’s zoom in on a piece of it: The 2nd biggest star-forming gas cloud within 10 million light years. Because HOLY WOW.

Optics are important in politics and in the media, as many people responding to this tweet are making clear. Like I said I do agree with much of what he says, and in fact if he is the Dem nominee come 2020 I will cheerfully vote for him.

I should have been more clear; I am not accusing Senator Sanders of willfully going out of his way to steal the spotlight from women in particular. He would do this no matter who gives the official response. I am addressing the issue of optics, how this looks.

I wonder about the SOTU address, too… I think Ms. Abrams will do an amazing job, but she’s working with the script pre-released by the WH. I can’t imagine Trump will stick to it, so she’ll need to be flexible in her response.

I disagree. I know he’s done this before, and his voice is important. But after the midterms, and after what happened in 2016, this is a bad look.

Please, - I like many of your ideas, but serially stealing the spotlight from Dem women — especially now an African-American one — is a very, very bad look, *especially* from a progressive.

WOW the nebulosity has expanded a lot! And seeing those old PSFs makes my teeth hurt.
