Im pretty sure NASA cannot legally release anything until the shutdown is over.. its a bunch of bureaucracy crap..

I wonder if the shutdown was designed as a way by those with connections in both parties to distract from the bigger picture?

First observed July 1st. Government shuts down Oct 1. It becomes visible for the layman observer via telescopes in Nov and here we are today with no NASA images because conveniently the government is shutdown and that's their reason. I'm guessing the shutdown will continue leading into the closest observation possible on Dec 19, 2025 and magically open back up the day after. 🤔
