From AJamesMcCarthy https://twitter.com/AJamesMcCarthy on Twitter: I took a picture of Mars last night. By getting creative with blending in overexposed frames, I gave it a bit of depth. Mars will be closest to Earth next month. #opteam #space #astrophotography https://twitter.com/AJamesMcCarthy/status/1302303130055446528/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/67324 -

From LIGO http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22182 on Twitter: We think the larger of our #GW190521 #BlackHoles, at 85 solar masses, is too large to have formed through collapse of a massive star.

Tracking the pandemic in my county is derailed. "Collin County stopped reporting new cases on the county's dashboard. The last updated date was August 20, 2020. The county also added a disclaimer on the dashboard expressing doubt about the accuracy of the data." via @dallasnews -

It's getting hot again in Texas. I am crossing my fingers and hoping this is the last gasp of summer. Went for a run this morning in the creeping heat and humidity. Painful. There was a mercifully cool headwind during the last mile, though. -

The guardians of public health are allowing Trump to undermine and humiliate them I knew that this Presidency would dismantle scientific agencies over 4 years. It started with climate and environment. It ends with the destruction of human health. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-guardians-of-public-health-are-allowing-trump-to-undermine-and-humiliate-them/2020/08/27/fd03fc56-e881-11ea-970a-64c73a1c2392_story.html -
