another tiny dot, another large possibility
Rubin’s 2026 ED138 is a dwarf-planet candidate. The images make the discovery tangible; confirmation still needs follow-up.

Inside the Picometer Tech Built for NASA’s Next Flagship Space Telescope
BROOMFIELD, CO, August 30, 2026 — Everyone loves the razor-sharp, ultra-narrow snapshots coming out of James Webb, but deep space research actually requires massive wide-angle sweeps to make sense of cosmic evolution. NASA launched its latest flagship observatory today—the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope—off a pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It is a […]

The First Photograph of the Earth From the Moon: A Visual History
On August 23, 1966, the team behind NASA’s Lunar Orbiter I captured the first image of Earth as seen from the Moon. You will sometimes see an updated version of this image, in fantastic resolution with all imperfections erased. It is an impressive restoration created by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP) in 2008, …

The Echoes of Apollo
Last week, people flew around the Moon. It feels surreal to be able to type those words. When I talk to people who witnessed the Apollo program, I like to ask them what they remember. Most were children at the time, and their answer is often some version of: “Oh, I wanted to be an …

“Standing By”: Science Communication on Apollo 8
This morning, as I sipped my coffee, I took in the view of a crescent Earth from the perspective of astronauts heading toward the Moon. It’s the first time this has been possible in over 50 years. Yesterday, as I awaited the launch of Artemis II, I watched the CBS broadcast of Apollo 8, in …

Scaffolding
Weak gravitational lensing: invisible dark matter revealed through coherent galaxy shapes. Based on Scognamiglio et al. (Nature Astronomy, Jan 2026), who used JWST's COSMOS-Web survey to create the most detailed dark matter map ever — 800,000 galaxies, 255 hours of observation, twice the resolution of Hubble. The galaxies aren't randomly oriented. They're all slightly stretched by the same invisible structure. That coherence is the signal.

Lensing
Gravitational microlensing: an invisible object reveals itself by bending starlight. Based on Dong et al. (Science, 2026), who measured a rogue planet's mass for the first time using stereoscopic parallax between Earth and the Gaia spacecraft. A Saturn-mass world, ejected from its birth system, wandering alone 10,000 light-years away — detected only by the light it bends.
