New on Kaleidoscope with Allison Keyes: a frightening rise in political violence against women, in the U.S. and around the globe. I asked Heather Barr of Human Rights Watch's Women's Rights Division what's happening. Listen: soundcloud.com/user-49625545…

The @NASAWebb telescope recently spotted stars brewing in this cosmic cauldron. This region of toil and trouble, named N159, is 161,000 light-years from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
A nebula made of clouds of gas and dust with stars forming within. In the center and out to the left it is filled with thin, wispy blue gas that forms delicate layers. Around this are thicker orange clouds with dark ridges. Thin red filaments of gas cross the center of the nebula. Glowing bubbles in the gas contain dense, very bright clusters of stars. In the edges, distant stars are visible as bright points on a dark background. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, E. Sabbi, M. Zamani (ESA/Webb)

Had a mammogram this morning and met a group of smart, funny women in the waiting room all ages and races all angry and sad about the state of politics in this divided nation and the state of women's health care. Every single one is very worried about the midterms…

While observing the universe, @NASAHubble caught a galaxy cluster smiling for the camera. 😊 The smile lines are arcs caused by an effect known as gravitational lensing, where massive structures warp spacetime with their powerful gravitational forces and act as a cosmic lens.

The museum opened on September 24, 2016, with a staff of about 200 people. It would serve as a living symbol of the importance of the nation’s shared history and the joy of celebrating a journey begun by African American Civil War veterans in 1915 who sought to get a museum built on the National Mall. bit.ly/3V7L5cr

25 years ago, the Sept. 11th tragedy left us forever changed. Today, we pause to remember the Americans who lost their lives — as well as the survivors and the heroes of that day. We will never forget: go.nasa.gov/4r9kCai

Twenty-five years ago, we suffered unimaginable losses as a nation, a City, and a Department. The world changed. The FDNY lost 343 of our own that day, and in the decades since, we have continued to lose even more to World Trade Center-related illnesses. Their names, their stories, and their courage are woven into the fabric of the Department and serve as the foundation of the modern FDNY. We renew the promise we made a quarter of a century ago—one we will keep for generations to come: We will Never Forget.

#NeverForget my heart is in NYC with the families of those who died and are still dying, 1st responders, volunteers, K9 handlers, students, residents, and everyone who is still broken 25 years later.
