An open letter to the Lunar and Planetary Institute executive office, I am writing to ask that LPI provide a public statement concerning their ongoing attempt to both censor and rewrite history by removing previously published community meeting abstracts from their archives. LPI is a trusted organization that plays an integral role in the planetary science community. They organize not only the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, but also a multitude of smaller community meetings and workshops. It thus came as quite a shock to learn that LPI has decided to remove any trace of abstracts that contain certain non-offensive keywords or that are on topics that could be related to the federal executive order attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Considering the 2025 LPSC alone, almost 100 abstracts have been removed from the program, being replaced with the text "item removed". Entire sessions have been deleted from the program, and the PDFs for the removed items are no longer accessible. In total, over 1000 LPI hosted abstracts are no longer accessible from the NASA ADS archive.
Why I will be boycotting meetings sponsored by the Lunar and Planetary Institute.

Example of an abstract that was removed from the 2025 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
In response to the Trump executive orders, the Lunar and Planetary Institute (#LPI) is removing abstracts from previously held meetings that used to be archived on their website.
Here is an example of one that was removed from the 2025 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (#LPSC).

Some of the images acquired of Mercury by the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo spacecraft during its fourth Mercury flyby on 4 September 2024. Many geological features are visible, including the peak ring basins Vivaldi and newly named Stoddart. The images were captured by the onboard monitoring cameras, which provide black-and-white 1024x1024 pixel snapshots. See the article for annotations and more detailed captions for each individual image. https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/BepiColombo/BepiColombo_s_best_images_yet_highlight_fourth_Mercury_flyby

Planetary Research A diamond open access journal for planetary science Open call for an editor-in-chief, editors, associate editors Planetary Research is a community-led journal that is being developed by the international planetary science community. The journal will use the diamond open-access publishing model, which means that there will be no article processing fees for authors and no subscription fees for readers. The journal, run as part of a non-profit organization, will operate with a transparent governance and will promote the work it publishes to the scientific community and the general public alike. Manuscript submissions are expected to open in January 2026. We seek candidates for the journal's editorial board, including the editor-in-chief, editors, and associate editors. We are also seeking candidates for the journal's media and technical teams. Interested candidates should provide a CV, a publication list, and a short letter motivating their interest in the position to the chair of the search committee (mark.wieczorek@cnrs.fr) before July 1, 2025. No prior experience is required. Additional information about the journal can be found on our website https://planetary-research-journal.online.
Planetary Research: Open call for editors

This is a picture of a diamond. From wikipedia: The term "diamond open access" was coined in 2012 by Marie Farge ... The reference to "diamond" was a hyperbolic pun on the "gold" metaphor that aims to suggest that non-commercial/free model were ultimately the best: "I have proposed to call this third way 'Diamond OA' by outbidding the 'Gold OA' terminology chosen by the publishers."
The planetary science community is creating a diamond open access journal that will be free to access without a subscription and that won’t charge authors article processing fees. Following a community vote, we now have a name!

Mural of the Croatian scientist Andrija Mohorovičić in the city of #Osijek where he once taught. He is best known for his discovery of the crust-mantle interface using seismic data from a 1909 earthquake. This interface is now known as the Moho, as no one can pronounce or properly spell his name.
Solar System Social offers free, privacy respecting services to the planetary science community. We run a Mastodon instance and a Mattermost server, and we will soon have a Peertube video server!
If you are a planetary scientist who is part of a #Slack community using the free plan, consider migrating your team to #Mattermost on the Solar System Social #PlanetaryScience server. Slack will start deleting your content that is older than 1 year starting January 28, 2025!
Image générée par une "intelligence" artificielle (AI). Cette série de cours explorera la structure actuelle du Système solaire externe, incluant les planètes géantes, leurs satellites, les Troyens, la population transneptunienne, le nuage d’Oort et les comètes. Nous aborderons également les modèles relatifs à son origine, avec un focus particulier sur le modèle de Nice à l'occasion de son vingtième anniversaire.

DALL-E AI -generated artwork for the Ph.D. thesis defense of Tri Dung Nguyen. Abstract: How do Earth's and planetary surfaces evolve? Using photometry and the Hapke BRDF model, we map surface properties like roughness and grain size from Pleiades imagery. Study sites: Djibouti’s rift (Mars-like terrain) & Apollo landing sites. Field & lab data validate findings.
If you will be in Paris next week, you are all invited to attend the Ph.D. defense of Tri Dung Nguyen.
"Photometric modeling to characterize planetary surfaces in the solar domain"
The thesis is directed by Stéphane Jacquemoud and Antoine Lucas, and will take place at #IPGP on December 11 @14:00.
