Without these long-term research programs, there is no #2026MMM
NSF LTER program “archived”.

My heart is breaking.

This is very very big. Like a big deal and massive cuts. These can’t even be seen as budgetary since you don’t get much savings in the context of trillions budget. They want the US out of R&D out of science research.

The planetary parade was pretty great this morning. Today marks 43 years on this dirtball and I got to see Mercury for the first time with my telescope. Venus, Jupiter and Saturn were quite entertaining as well. Science is awesome!
