Today we remember one of the world's greatest scientists: Marie Skłodowska Curie, who died #OTD in 1934.
Curie was the first person to be awarded the #NobelPrize twice and is still the only person to receive the prize in two different scientific fields.

Remembering the remarkable Marie Skłodowska Curie - awarded the 1903 physics prize and 1911 chemistry prize - who passed away #OTD 90 years ago.

That's no lightsaber...
These are two views of a dusty disk made of planet formation debris, observed in infrared light for the first time. The white star symbol marks where Webb blocked out starlight with a coronagraph, or mask: go.nasa.gov/3ULYapd #MayTheFourthBeWithYou!
ALT This image shows two views of the dusty debris disk around the red dwarf star AU Mic. The top panel is the disk at 3.56 microns. The disk appears as a fuzzy, blue, horizontal line broken in the middle by a black region outlined by a white, dashed circle. In the center of that region is a white, graphical star, which represents AU Mic. The actual star is blocked out in this image by Webb’s NIRCam coronagraph. The bottom panel is the second view of the disk, at 4.44 microns. The disk appears as a fuzzy, red, horizontal line broken in the middle by a black region outlined by a white, dashed circle. As in the top panel, in the center of that region is a cartoonish star representing AU Mic. The actual star is blocked out by the NIRCam’s coronagraph.

“Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.”

Happy Pi day! The current date and time (14 March, 1.59pm) resemble 3.14159, the approximation of the mathematical constant Pi, or π. Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The ratio stays the same no matter how big or small the circle is.
