Kepler Goes Into Sleep Mode -- Low On Fuel; Mars Global Storm Update; And The Rest...


I am off to a lovely little Guatemalan-American princess's 15th birthday celebration, or Quinceañera.

The boisterous, joyous fun lasts essentially all day -- churches, gardens, parks, pictures and a reception (and dancing, into the wee hours!). . . very old family friends (second family, actually), and a new generation now rising -- so I'll just drop a Kepler presser, and a JPL/NASA Mars storm update in as a video:



Separately, the ACLU will receive from ICE, HHS and Trump a list of the names and locations of all 100+ kids under five, by 5 PM Pacific, today -- Saturday. And the able USDC Judge Sabraw in San Diego has ordered overnight that no delay will be granted to HHS or ICE: all babies under age 5 are to be reunited by the evening of the Tenth.

Some progress to be sure -- with 83 of the needed 100+ DNA matchings completed -- but how can it be, that ICE's standard "business records" and procedures did not provide for even rudimentary matching?

How is that even. . . possible? Each of these families has a strong lawsuit, on that grounds alone. Trump is costing the US taxpayers millions, once more -- due to his cruel and capriciously-ill informed "policies".

But, onward now -- in joy -- to a marvelous Quince!
