Thanks to USGS Astrogeology, there is a newly-published geologic map of Europa! It is now available in JMARS. Look for the new layer named "Global Geologic Map Europa USGS (2024)".
If you hover your cursor over a specific colored unit, the name of the unit is displayed as a tool tip.
Each year hundreds of thousands of sea creatures get caught in commercial fishing gear lines, which can starve, wound, suffocate and even drown them. Thankfully, there’s a solution that will protect whales and sea turtles from getting tangled: pop-up fishing gear. Take action.
This is the surface of a comet! Dust is swirling around the surface of Comet 67/P -- captured in 2016 by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft, processing by Jacint Roger Perez.
Still one of the most remarkable scenes in space exploration.
Back home from #LPSC2024, and missing chatting with planetary folk? Hop on JMARS Office Hours! For the next two hours, you can talk to JMARS Developers, who can demo features, answer your questions, and help you out of JMARS is misbehaving!
Hello World! 😊
We are the Scientific Python project. This is a community effort to better coordinate and support scientific #Python libraries and the people who build them. 🐍🐍
For the next two hours, you have the opportunity to talk directly to JMARS developers! Stop by to ask a question, see a demo, report a problem, or simply say "hello"!
Yes, it's time for JMARS Office Hours.

How to use Mastodon:
Step 1: Sign up.
Step 2: Do regular social media stuff.
Journalists: Only those with advanced degrees in computer science should even attempt to navigate Mastodon, the frustrations of its complexities will drive the average user to a state of hysteria.
I just completed my first re-read of Isaac Asimov's Foundation.
I had forgotten nearly all the details, and enjoyed it all over again.
I remember when I read it the first time, I regarded it as an old book. Here are the numbers that shocked me:
FOUNDATION
published: 1951
my first read: 1977
my second read: 2024
The time between now and my first read is nearly twice as long as the time between my first read and the publication of this "old" book.
Yes, I'm old.
An astronomer team has observed some of the youngest planetary disks ever seen. Designated as Class 0 and Class 1, these are planetary systems younger than 300,000 years old. Even at this early stage of star formation, the protostars are surrounded by disks with rings and spiral structures that indicate where new planets could be forming. It was previously believed that planets couldn't form before the first million years, but there they are.

An international team of astronomers have found ring and spiral structures in very young planetary disks. The results were presented today at the 243rd Meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
