    As usual, good value interview about science and politics with Mike O’Neil on The Think Tank. Airs later today.

    It is truly amazing to be living at a time when one can be privileged to even a short movie of the surface of a comet! Dazzling!

    It is disappointing, for science, and for the nation that an unqualified individual was confirmed by Senate yesterday as NASA Administrator, in an act of political theater, when science isn't democratic or republican. Still, let's hope he grows in the job.

    Here’s something surprising. Venus surface temperature hot enough to melt lead. Yet temps and densities in long lived cloud layers could support life as we know it. And there is anomalous UV absorption and evidence of large particles in clouds. Should we go check?

    Proxima Centauri b is the nearest planet to us that appears to be in the 'habitable zone" of its star, which is exciting. Hopes for life there however have diminished, as the observations now show stellar flares that would likely sterilize the planet.

    Saudi money sadly buys access and undeserved respect in US but rulers still run brutal medieval dictatorship. Free . Respect human rights! Oprah, Rupert Murdoch, Harvard: Saudi Prince’s U.S. Tour

    Scientis shouldn’t make public policy but science should inform public policy. We ignore empirical evidence when enacting laws and regulations at our peril.

    Interesting idea using HighTC superconductors for powerful magnets, but am skeptical. The triillions of H-fusions happening in Sun every second provide 100,000 times more energy hitting Earth than Humanity uses. Exploit that instead?

    This will be fascinating. A lot easier, cheaper, and for me maybe more exciting than sending people to mars.

    Can’t help thinking on those years when Easter lands on April 1, how appropriate that seems to be.

    The universe is large and old, and with over 100 billion galaxies, rare events happen all the time. Galaxy formation is a statistical process. This is an interesting observation of verified, but there are dynamical ways it could happen.

    With apologies to vegetarians, got to hand it to the Aussies for this ad. Brilliant, including a nice reference to the new Australian census.

    Neutrinos remain the most interesting elementary particles in nature, at least for me, and perhaps also the most likely to provide some experimental direction in the search for new fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model.

    A brief requiem for Stephen Hawking.

    There is poetry in the cosmos. Sometimes unintended. That Stephen Hawking died on the day that Albert Einstein was born has a striking pathos. These two men each shed new light on the force that governs the birth & ultimate evolution of the cosmos. We celebrate both their lives.

    A star just went out in the cosmos. We have lost an amazing human being. Stephen Hawking fought and tamed the cosmos bravely for 76 years and taught us all something importantabout what it truly means to celebrate about being human. I will miss him.

    I find the almost unfathomable precision in atomic clocks to be part of the most exciting in physics with possibilities for the future: precise control of quantum systems.

    Still time to get tickets for this friday at Comerica Center in Phoenix for celebrity mud wrestling... aka dialogue with . Last of three dialogues, and we are tooling up for the big one now. Feel free to tweet suggestions, especially to Sam.
