The SJ-28 (2025-277) catalog numbers are backfilled gaps in the catalog, 66549 and 66550 (instead of being put at the end as 66781/82) Doing this for new-launched sat is extremely rare, unclear so far if
deliberate new practice or error. I am in favor of filling the gaps.

If every one of my followers here signed up for my newsletter at the new annual 20% sale rate I would make nearly $4 million and disappear off the face of the Earth (after fulfilling the obligation of writing the issues first of course). #promise

Wow, *two* emails in one day from two different people unfamiliar with physics claiming they have developed a Theory of Everything that has eluded tens of thousands of trained professional scientists for decades?

For years (and YEARS) I've been saying do not trust VAERS reports. There is no vetting, no statistical relevancy. It's pure anecdote.
Raywat Deonandan@deonandan.bsky.social
Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates. Thread [1/9]

Man do I sometimes miss seing these big goofy birds hanging out around the pond in Colorado. They'd sometimes fly over my head in the yard and it was amazing. Very graceful in the sky.

When we link arms and say NO, we stop fascism in its tracks.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid. A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

Looking at Flight Aware it seems to be just heavy traffic all following the same route. It looks so weird though; the rest of the sky is empty and it's unusual to see so many planes at the same time from this location. Maybe holiday traffic.
Phil Plait@philplait.bsky.social
Ok this is weird. Just now I saw three airplanes in tandem flying in the same direction (NE to SW). When I looked around I saw several more older contrails to the east.

Oh hey I write for Scientific American, too!
Today's weekly "The Universe" column is about how we can actually *resolve the disks of some stars*, and how we do it.

To See a Star’s Face, You Have to Interfere with It
A technique called interferometry can greatly magnify tiny objects on the sky, and is powerful enough to reveal the surfaces of nearby stars

Am I going to have to continually repost praise to my newsletter until EVERY ONE OF MY FOLLOWERS HERE signs up?
Well, no, because that would be annoying. But here's one anyway.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
