We live in a changing economy. Businesses close, open, and move. Old industries die while new industries are born. Helping workers transition from one job to another is such an obvious need in such a society that it’s hard to fathom why anyone would want to scale back such a program.

I just love short wavelength video of the sun. I mean, I know it’s been there for billions of years, but it looks like it’s not gonna last till the end of the year.

We're so excited to share the results of the ALMA large program ARKS that studied the distribution of dust and gas in a sample of 24 exoKuiper belts. With @lucaroundtheworld.bsky.social, Meredith Hughes and a large collaboration, we just published 10 papers presenting our first results arkslp.org

Also, three times the size of a truck from 25 years ago, but with less bed space.

Yeah, it’s really pretty neat. It passes through a layer of cold air and becomes supercooled (below 0 degrees Celsius but still liquid.) This causes it to freeze on impact.

Dangerous as hell to drive in.
