The demand to use #NASAWebb shows no signs of slowing! For its fifth year, researchers around the world submitted a record-breaking 2,900+ proposals. The types of requests show astronomers are ready to answer even bolder scientific questions: https://bit.ly/4nYC0LS 🔭 🧪

Flagstaff’s Lowell Observatory plans to cut nearly all its research funding and reduce the number of paid science staff to just two positions next year.

Apps are open for our Idea Scholar program! The program invites distinguished scientists with an interest in developing scientific talent in the workforce for extended visits at the Flatiron Institute. Deadline is 1/13/2026: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/idea_scholar_program/ #science

So much astronomical excellence in this picture from @astrosociety.org gala! 🔭 L to R: Kate Daniel (Arizona prof), Angela Twum, @astrolatinaa.bsky.social, Alejandra Rosselli-Calderon (UCSC grads), @katycosmiq.bsky.social (CSUSB prof), @capricephillips.bsky.social (Sagan Fellow at UCSC), and me.

i’m excited to announce that i am hiring (again)! i am looking for a postdoc in computational astrophysics that’s excited about models of stellar transients and multi-messenger astronomy to join my group (star stuff @ steward) at @uarizona.bsky.social! apply here ✨💥: aas.org/jobregister/...

This is the face of astronomy! Like this is one of my new favorite photos! We ate!!!! 💅🏾

Congrats @ohdearz.bsky.social on receiving the Nancy Grace Roman Award from ASP for promoting gender equity snd inclusion in astronomy and related fields! It was awesome to be there and see all the amazing things! Truly well deserved! astrosociety.org/who-we-are/a...

Had an amazing time at the first gathering for the 2030STEMxBWF Fellowship meeting at AMNH! So exiting for many things to come! Ll

Had a great time at the @sacnas.bsky.social conference last week! Many Ohio State folks (see pic, including @astrojennifer.bsky.social, @denisemondragon.bsky.social, and me) attended despite restrictions. Congrats to @denisemondragon.bsky.social on winning best grad poster presentation!

Restock preview is up! Shop opens tomorrow at 10am PT 💫 Amyraehill.com

I am giving away a print as a thank you to everyone who has been following along & supporting me on my journey transitioning from a research scientist to full-time space artist. I’ll draw a lucky winner from my email list at random on November 13th. You’ll get a print of Spectrum of Chaos!

Working on some last minute Astronaut Vessels for Saturday's restock. But they're a little different than usual...😸 I was thinking about cats and how the world can be falling apart around them but they still go about their day, hiding discomfort, quietly enduring.

We've collected 65 individual exoplanet atmosphere composition measurements to look for population-level trends 🔭 #exoplanets To do this, we had to create a toolkit to standardize between definitions of . We call it ExoComp. (Yes, that's a Star Trek reference 😀).

So excited for the first day of SACNAS #NDiSTEM2025 with @denisemondragon.bsky.social @sacnas.bsky.social 🧪

Sorry it's been a minute, I have an announcement! ✨ Shop opening on November 8th, 10am PT ✨ I will have a few commission spots for the holidays and a restock of finished work. Make sure you're up to date on the Commission FAQ! Amyraehill.com/commissions Full restock preview coming soon ☺️

#NASAWebb 🤝 Rocky exoplanets With Webb, astronomers have found that several rocky worlds around red dwarf stars have no atmospheres. This is fostering new questions about these distant, habitable-zone worlds, and Webb is helping astronomers investigate. Credit: STScI. 🔭 🧪

Science lovers, where you at? Always trying to reach my people! Especially if you live in Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, or Wyoming this time because I’ve almost sold space art to all 50 states! Prints available until Nov 1st. Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far 🤗 stellerarts.com/pages/leviat...

✨ AAS member Nia Imara received one of this year's Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications. These awards recognize science journalists, research scientists, and science communicators. aas.org/posts/news/2... 🔭

I'm giving my first invited speaker talk for the NSBP/NSHP conference in November! Super honored and excited to talk about brown dwarfs from their host stars to the brown dwarf atmospheres themselves! #BlackInAstro

I put my couch 🛋️ together and only put on one piece backwards! Progress lol.

Making Lemmonade 🍋 Couldn’t pass up a chance to go after Comet Lemmon given last night’s combination of clear skies and a new moon. Good way to replenish the soul after that heartbreaking ALCS finale. 😅 🏷️: 📸🌿🐡🔭

Space theme for the win! 🏆

SAVE THE DATE! The 11th AAS Topical Conference Series (AASTCS): Exoplanet Atmospheres 2026 will take place in Denver. Join astronomers, planetary scientists & researchers from around the world for an in-depth exploration of one of the most dynamic fields in science today. More details soon 🔭

Congrats to all 87 scholars, including the talented OSU senior Phoenix-Avery Sarian who is currently applying to astronomy and physics grad programs! 🔭⚛️

So proud of Phoenix! She’s amazing, does cool research and has done so much at an early stage in her career. She’s applying to grad programs too! So 👀. Y’all would be lucky to have her! #BlackInAstro

I'm probably not alone as an artist who's a bit burnt out and drained right now. But this. This right here keeps the fire going. Science like Doug's allows my art to exist. We all have to keep working and making and showing up so everybody gets to do what they want to do.

More coverage of OSU’s new restrictions on conference attendance: “These conferences are open forums for us to present our work, network and collaborate. Telling us that they’re going to regulate whether or not we can participate feels very stifling, prohibitive,” said @ohdearz.bsky.social
