Westport Observatory
@WestportObservatory@vmst.io
The Westport Observatory, run by the volunteers of the Westport Astronomical Society brings the night sky down to the thousands who visit annually. We’re a non-profit that’s free and open to the public every Wednesday night from 8-10 pm if the skies are clear. We do suggest a donation of $5 per person if you're not a member. In-person or zoom lectures on the 3rd Tuesday monthly. #Astronomy #Observatory #WestportCT #WestportObservatory #nonprofit #astrophotography #WestportAstronomicalSociety

Don't miss our next free lecture! Join us May 19 at 8pm as MIT aerospace engineer Erik S. Bailey — veteran of multiple NASA Mars landings — takes us on a whirlwind history of robotic planetary landers from 1966 to today. Hear from the engineer who helped make it happen at the Westport Observatory or join live on Zoom & YouTube. Free & open to all!

Astronomer, researcher at Helsinki University, discoverer of dozens of planets, notably the candidate habitable world #Proximab around the nearest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri. Made of stardust. Climate breakdown could be the solution to Fermi paradox. There is no planet B. The account may contain incurable doses of science.

The White House announced a plan to cancel over 50 #space missions as part of a devastating 46% cut to #NASA #science.
The proposal would likely eliminate thousands of jobs at an agency that has just launched astronauts to the #Moon for the first time in decades, and dozens of other space missions would see their operations reduced or slowly wound down to a halt.
The following missions are to be cancelled:
-
The Habitable Worlds Observatory being built to search for #life on dozens of Earth-like planets beyond our Solar System while addressing fundamental questions about our #Universe.
-
OSIRIS-APEX capitalizes on the exceptionally rare 2029 Earth flyby of the potentially hazardous #asteroid #Apophis to advance planetary defense strategies and reveal how Earth’s #gravity alters an asteroid’s surface and interior.
-
The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will deliberately search for signs of life on #Mars by analyzing the composition of samples collected from as deep as 2 meters below the surface.
-
The DAVINCI mission is an atmospheric probe that will be deployed to our sister planet, #Venus, and provide the first detailed measurements of the composition and chemistry of its #atmosphere.
-
Initially focusing on #Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere, and aurora, #Juno is already orbiting Jupiter and has expanded during its extended mission to be a full system explorer capable of investigating the Galilean satellites, rings, inner moons, radiation belts, and boundaries of Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
-
VERITAS will create unprecedented, global, high-resolution datasets of Venus designed to answer a fundamental question for rocky #planets: how did Earth and her twin Venus evolve into two entirely different examples of planetary #habitability?

NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover has been exploring a region of geological formations that look like spiderwebs from outer space. Did ancient groundwater flow on this part of the Red Planet later than scientists believed? Read more from NASA.gov:

Last September I started a thread on Viking 1 which began with the Viking site selection process. Here we will pick up the story for Viking 2. Viking sites were chosen initially using Mariner 9 images and elevation data, and the final stage of that process produced these two sites for Viking 2, a prime site (B1) and a backup (B2). B1 is Cydonia and its most famous inhabitant lives in those hills (Cydonia Colles). B2 is a low volcanic rise now called Alba Mons.

NASA Mars rover finds new clues pointing to past life on Mars.
@USAToday@flipboard.com reports: "Nearly a year ago, Curiosity came across a rock that contained signs of organic material known as fatty acids that on Earth are most often produced by living organisms."
