One of a telescope operator’s primary jobs is to keep any stray light out of the instrument. Earthly and other unwelcome photons can swamp the cosmic light from distant stars and galaxies. During more than a decade as a project scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope, Jane Rigby obsessed over minimizing light leaks — with extraordinary success. The sky looks darker to JWST than most anyone had hoped.
Rigby herself, now the senior project scientist for JWST, is a

Wir sind es gewohnt, uns Jupiter als eine Art orange-braune Farbe vorzustellen, mit seinen charakteristischen Farbmerkmalen wie dem Großen Roten Fleck. Aber ein kürzlich von der NASA geteiltes Bild von Jupiter zeigt den Planeten in einer ganz anderen Farbpalette und zeigt die Wolken des Planeten in zwei verschiedenen Formaten.

Es ist allgemein anerkannt, dass wir im Sommer keine geschlossenen Schuhe tragen, um Fußschweiß zu vermeiden, aber selbst Sandalen und andere luftigere Schuhe können immer noch unangenehme Gerüche verursachen. Wenn es draußen heiß und schwül ist, ist Fußgeruch das Letzte, was wir wollen – also sind Verstärkungen erforderlich.
Ein großartiges Fußspray ist ein Muss, und dieses Deodorant von Barefoot Scientist ist angeblich dasjenige,
