Some really amazing astronomy research came out today! 🔭🧪 First of all, JWST observations brought the strongest evidence yet of a planet in the habitable zone around Alpha Centauri A, the closest Sun-like star to the Solar System. www.iflscience.com/alpha-centau...

One of my favourite papers in a while ☄️

Voyager is one of my faves. Yes, I am emotionally invested in space missions. Hearing from someone who has been involved from the very start, right up to today, is incredible. Fabulous @iflscience.com exclusive by @drcarpineti.bsky.social💫

I'm pretty sure I saw a green fireball meteor over London on Saturday night but no one else seems to have seen it, so I guess aliens *shrugs*

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: We may already know where our latest interstellar visitor comes from just a week after discovering it. 👉 www.iflscience.com/new-interste...

This is exciting

I know what I'm watching tonight🍿#Jaws50

We had a little sneak peek ahead of #WalkingwithDinosaurs starting this week and chatted to the folks behind the scenes who made the science and (VFX) magic happen. And of course, people stole things from set 😏🪺. More scoops here 👇

Talking to someone who was actually part of the ozone hole discovery 40 years ago was an amazing privilege, discussing the science - and politics- that led to the first global environment treaty. Nice write-up @tommyhale.bsky.social Thanks @bas.ac.uk

Any #naturalhistorymuseums care to comment? 🍆👀

De-extinction is a hot topic but did I have bringing back T. rex to make leather handbags out of them on my 2025 bingo card? No, no, I did not.

I asked @sluntz.bsky.social to be on dinowatch this week and he asked me if that is basically birdwatching but keeping an open mind on larger options – and you know what, it 💯is

K2-18b is back in the news recently, thanks to newly published research that is destined to be discussed for a long time.. Here's what there is to know about this detection and where it sits in the search for extraterrestrial life. Spoilers alert: no aliens 👽 www.iflscience.com/an-exoplanet... 🔭🧪

- Exclusive Interview - There are only a handful of people who have experienced seeing Earth from space and what lies at the bottom of the ocean, but even among those select few, Dr Kathy Sullivan has a record that is unique. www.iflscience.com/from-spacewa...

Booooooooooooo 🦕

@iflscience.com 💪🙌

I am extremely proud to have worked on this piece this week, the situation is extremely serious and many organisations are woefully unprepared on how to face it, thinking that buying time will help them.

It's been a wild news day.

I WANT ONE. It looks like it just rolled out of bed 🥹

Ningaloo gets overshadowed by the Great Barrier Reef, but it's far larger than any of the GBR's individual reefs and has unique features both in accessibility and in the ocean-going species that visit it. It was also in much better condition. That may have changed. www.iflscience.com/new-videos-s...

Yeah, this is why I got into #SciComm 🤌

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🥼🔭🧪

An article released today on IFLScience describes a new research paper by Trevor Branch published in Marine Mammal Science in January 2025. Full Article - www.iflscience.com/blue-whales-... Research Paper - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A great story in IFLScience by Russell Moul about our research looking at whether comics can help jurors understand forensic science in crimical court cases: lnkd.in/efQjekD3 Analysis was conducted by @scicommsuwe.bsky.social student Izzy Baxter during her Msc Science Communication

Alright look, yes it's now at 2.3% but we can't keep writing the same article! We'll let you know if/when we're actually in trouble.

There are minerals in the Bennu samples that have never been seen before in an extraterrestrial material. Elements and molecules crucial for life have been identified, but there is no evidence of life in this precious asteroid dust. 🔭🧪 www.iflscience.com/brine-from-a...

Do we know any scientists here on Bluesky doing research on videogames and psychology/neurology? #JournoRequest 🧪

Thanks to @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social @tweetisaurus.bsky.social @deanrlomax.bsky.social @tetzoo.bsky.social @stevebrusatte.bsky.social and Dr Jingmai O’Connor for some unexpected inclusions. We all know which one is the GOAT though, right? www.iflscience.com/whats-the-be...

Despite some of the gloom at this present moment, trust in #science remains high across most of the world. 🧪🔭 www.iflscience.com/trust-in-sci...

When your writers pitch you a story about a shark-hunting dog you don’t say no

It begins. If you legislate with scientific words, you should know the science. 🧪 www.iflscience.com/trumps-execu...

This feature was the most fun to commission. I’m sorry Ben, I didn’t think you’d actually do it! 😂
