Constraints for Nuclear Astrophysics from an Unusual Presolar Silicate-Oxide Aggregate Grain Found in Primitive Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite Hills 00526. Larry R. Nittler et. al. https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.02055

🔭 A cautionary tale for undergrads (and above!) using AI for #astro plots: our BSc student wanted to make a "quick" HR diagram showcasing M-dwarfs & thought some chatbot could make one and... well... ...extra credits are now offered to students who can correctly find all errors on cursedHR.png 🫠 🧪

Did I mention that the University has ended scantron test scanning services because online assessment is safe and easy?

Question from last week's AST1112 test: "About what temperature does the Cosmic Microwave Background have currently?". Student responses: 3K - 14% 3000K - 17% 30 million K - 37% 3 billion K - 22% 3 trillion K - 10% sigh.

update, I responded to this

I invite Pres. Obama to enroll in my seminar course on Mercury this fall. While there will be plenty of planetary science jargon, I will make sure that it is clearly explained and not just "a bunch of gobbledygook"

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

oh look, unsolicited AI enshittification of my new ArXiv posting

Which "global event" has had the highest impact on gas prices, Marco? Who was responsible for that event, Marco? (knowing that the GOP answer will somehow come down to Joe Biden)

Bought a new cd

New #presolargrain paper! #nuclearastro 🔭 arxiv.org/abs/2605.02055

I shaved today - does that count as "looksmaxxing"?

O isotopes measured in an exoplanet! The authors find 16O/17O ~700-900 (1/3 solar) and 16O/18O ~250 (one-half solar) in H2O in a planet named "COCONUTS-2b" [Those wacky astronomers!], significantly higher than the stated interstellar values of 2005 and 557, from a 1999 paper. 1/6 🔭🧵

Well, since the Pluto discourse is happening again. I'll use it to shamelessly promote the tune I wrote in honor of New Horizons' exploration of the best planet in the Solar System youtu.be/9BeRA1b_CO8

You know what would be a thousand times more inspiring? Keeping the Chandra X-ray Observatory alive & making sure we go back to explore Venus.

Yet every one would do it again if it was a white man vs a brown woman

This is what my GenZ daughter and her group house do. Just check out free DVDs

pro-tip: if your going to reach out to your astronomy prof the last week of the term to ask about making up the dozens of assignments you skipped all semester, maybe better not to start with "Hey Prof, I'm in your Astrology 112 class"

It’s really not that hard, people. If you spread a conspiracy theory, that's what you are doing, even if you start by saying "I’m not really a conspiracy theory guy"

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard* mode: no star wars/trek, hp, lotr, marvel (*Not hard for me since the only film in that list I've seen >6 times is original Star Wars)

This is a majorly bad piece of news for the NSF 🔭🧪#astrosci

From NASA Getting Dragonfly ready for Titan. 🪐 Engineers at JHUAPL are assembling the rotorcraft lander and preparing it for vibration testing, conducting parachute tests and completing a chemistry lab built by NASA Goddard to analyze Titan’s surface. go.nasa.gov/3QjmRcV

This is a dance off. If you see this repost a dance.

So have any MAGA folks decided electric vehicles are too woke and stuck an ICE on their cybertruck?

funny to log in to a social media site much later than I usually do and see half the feed complaining about problems with the site and the other half talking about how productive they are when the site is down. Guess I missed something.

Everything is shit, but I found the important sample I had thought was missing for good, so one spot of joy.

And all you create And all you destroy And all that you do And all that you say And all that you eat And everyone you meet And all that you slight And everyone you fight And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the Sun is in tune ...

The synth break leading up to Daltrey's scream in Won't Get Fooled Again

Isn't Hungary elected a leader named "Magyar" the same as the US electing a President "American" or the UK a PM "British"?

One of my early memories was watching the return of the Apollo 17 capsule in 1972. It was very moving to watch the Artemis 2 return today. Crazy it's taken more than 53 years to go back to the Moon. #Artemis

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.
