NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory @VRubinObsMeet our Solar System's newest dwarf planet candidate: 2026 ED138! Orbiting past Pluto, scientists found it in NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory data from earlier in 2026. Early analysis suggests it's 600–1500 km across, one of the largest found past Neptune! 🔗

TMZ @TMZChrishell Stause announces split from G Flip after 4 years 💔
Jeff Dean @JeffDean@TaliaRinger You're already an exceptional researcher. When the kids are young, there is the tension you highlight, but it gets easier when they get a bit older. In the meantime, enjoy them at their current age, because they grow up fast!
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope @NASARomanIt's the final countdown 🎶 We're one step closer to Roman's first images! The observatory is now fully functional and the team is performing their final checks and calibrations before starting science observations.

NASA Watch @NASAWatchOIG Report On The NASA Decadal Survey Process Congress, NASEM, and NASA deeply value the decadal surveys. However, the OIG determined that the process, combined with the Agency’s hands-off approach, limits pathways for communication, engagement, and feedback. This, in turn, restricts opportunities for more tailored, realistic, and actionable surveys. In addition, outside of NASEM’s 5-year midterm assessments, the OIG found that NASA does not track how the SMD divisions are implementing decadal survey recommendations. The Agency is also not fully accounting for costs associated with the survey process, including mission concept study expenditures and the time spent working on decadal survey tasks. Lastly, NASA does not have consistent internal processes for supporting decadal survey development. Specifically, SMD lacks formal guidance, routine lessons learned, and sufficient resources to standardize common procedures and share best practices across the directorate. @NASA
