Thousands of NASA employees to bid farewell to the NASA they knew

Yes, NASA science is being destroyed, and the NASA we know is actively in the process of being gutted.

Here are the receipts.

Thousands of NASA employees to bid farewell to the NASA they knew
As October begins, thousands of longtime NASA employees are leaving the agency. 4000+ will exit by January 9, 2026, changing NASA forever.

A nice example of a #Draconid meteoroid released from 21/Giacobini-Zinner comet. They are dust aggregates, so fragile, that very often disrupt suddenly into their rock minerals!
Yes, like piles of cosmic sand. Put it into FULL SCREEN and enjoy the show. Now just imagine a Draconid storm!🤩

La ESA ha revelado nuevas imágenes del cometa 3I/ATLAS captadas por ExoMars. @joseptrigo.bsky.social (@ice-csic.bsky.social @ieec.cat) nos cuenta qué nueva información proporcionan:
Las últimas noticias sobre el cometa extrasolar 3I/ATLAS llegan desde Marte
Entre otras novedades, las imágenes enviadas por diversas sondas que orbitan el planeta rojo desmontan definitivamente el rumor de que el visitante es de naturaleza artificial.

Not a surprise! I gave to his group a presentation giving some results about interstellar meteoroids (ISM) found and published by my team. Months afterwards he submitted a manuscript to ApJ claming they discovered a 2nd ISM, just ours!
Fortunately I was the referee of such ms. and the lie was solved

The inner solar system today (Oct. 10, 2025, at 00 UTC). Our interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS, is speeding away from Mars; its next photo op, with Juice, is in less than a month. Roughly a month from today, Europa Clipper is likely to fly through the 3I cometary tail!

Ha! It looks like Avi Loeb silently edited his Medium post about the Perseverance Navcam images, after being called out for his wrong interpretation.
While he previously claimed the image was of 3I/Atlas, he now says the claim came from "social media". 🔭
A paragraph about the Navcam image that claimed the image is of 3I/Atlas was edited to say "This was claimed on social media to be an image" of the comet A paragraph that previously only mentioned the object creating the source could be much closer to the camera than Atlas was extended with a speculation that it could be one of the Martian moons.
