In news....the Sun is ready for it's close up

I've seen two NASA workers wearing their uniforms out and about in DC in the last week. Honestly, they didn't look nerdy enough to be NASA employees.
PS, do they spell "frontier" differently/alternatively in the Space?

Any data and science used to calculate my music playlists are referred to as "rhythms" so the actual mistake was that is should have been algorhythm.

Friendly reminder... this has absolutely nothing to do with #DM2. This is a developmental vehicle where failure it ok! This in no way reflects this weekend’s launch. RIP SN4

So as post count leader, I assume the office of Moderator until Kosmo returns. It’s right there in the Succession [Non-Prestige Television] Act.

The Joy Division telescope is being decommissioned due to hurricane damage. (https://www.metafilter.com/189433/Arecibo-Observatory-to-be-decomissioned)
-
yeah, saw this...sad news
Arecibo -- the sole facility of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC) -- is perhaps most well known to non-scientists as the site of the climactic battle of the James Bond film "Goldeneye." Yet it has also taken a leading role in the search for extraterrestrial life, notably by sending the Arecibo Message (previously). And, perhaps Arecibo's largest contribution to the popular consciousness is as the source of the iconic album cover to Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures.
