Great #scicomm job! 🔭

Munazza Alam, Asst Astronomer at @stsci.edu is among this year's "50 under 50" alumni award winners from @cuny.edu - great work! 🔭https://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/communications-marketing/alumni-network/50under50/munazza-alam/

New Yorkers, I'll be in town for this event at Heft Gallery to have some conversations about a new art installation called Wanderers, built around exoplanet data from #JWST, by Ashley Zelinskie & Jeres. Check out the invite: partiful.com/e/6hU641Cilg...

Going to try answering more questions at work with "things happen", let's see how that goes.

Decisions made during #CM25 will advance our Strategy 2040, which focuses on five goals to show how important space is for European citizens. This is Goal 1: Protect our Planet and Climate www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FzL...

Today is #LGBTQinSTEMDay 🌈 ESA proudly joins the STEM community in celebrating the unique contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals. The Pride Flag will fly across ESA sites as a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how much more there is to do. #SpaceForAll

Professional profile pic goals 🔭 (my dm's are open Annie Leibovitz)

Nope, your eyes aren't deceiving you. That really is Hubble's image of the Bubble Nebula in the background of Vogue’s December cover, featuring actor Timothée Chalamet. This image of the nebula was released in 2016 to mark Hubble’s 26th anniversary.

Things like this will become increasingly common as billionaires increasingly treat low earth orbit like their personal playground and garbage dump

New member of the Sentinel family checking in! Welcome Sentinel-6B, great job @esa.int & @esaearth.esa.int 🚀🌏

The speed with which the astronomy community set up working groups and organized special discussion sessions around satellite megaconstellations (compared with often glacial pace for these things) demonstrates very clearly that astronomers are Not Fine With This. 🔭

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I know it's had plenty of media attention, but if you're within reasonable travel distance from #Baltimore, go see Amy Sherald's American Sublime exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Her work is incredible.

Who would want to work in academia under these conditions?

A #CosmicVision mission, #ESAEnvision will be the first mission to provide a complete view of Venus from its inner core to its upper atmosphere. Its goal is to determine how and why Venus and Earth evolved so differently. 1/ #CM25 🔭

#OTD: 12 November 2014, @esa.int's Rosetta Philae lander made history by touching down on the surface of a comet, the first spacecraft ever to do so. The landing was confirmed at 16:03 GMT/17:03 CET 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... @cnes.fr @dlr-de.bsky.social @operations.esa.int @science.esa.int

In 2025 we take every ounce of joy we can find!

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/...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

It seems like just yesterday that we were in design reviews for GRAVITY the OG version - now there‘s GRAVITY+ with multiple lasers! ESO and Europe/Chile are powerhouses for ground-based astronomy right now. 🔭

Highly recommend booking a flight while you’re already on your way to the airport. Strong secret agent vibes. Quite exhilarating.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

These guys are constantly saying that Dems need to abandon identity politics and run on kitchen-table issues. They get the most kitchen table-ass candidate imaginable, spend months saying he's secretly radical, then as soon as he wins they say he's secretly moderate.

A trans friend in the UK was barred from her local gym (where she's been a regular for years) after a complaint from another woman about her being in the women's changing room. Just terrible. Far outside my wheelhouse on the legal side, but if anyone with experience has advice, happy to hear it.

be safe everyone!

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

"[Helen Andrews] argued that the “great feminisation” of American workplaces [...] since the 1970s is at the root of everything from the demise of free speech to competitive decline" love when these opinions are held by college-educated women with successful professional careers! anyway, great piece

listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

A strong day for women's marathoning: new course record in New York AND new US course record. Well done, incredible humans. 👏🔥🫶

A JWST wonder, once again! 🔭 This is the image of the NGC-2440 planetary nebula as seen by the JWST one year ago, that I processed last night! Look how wonderful that thing is 😍 And if you zoom on the centre, you can see a little dot which is suspect is the white dwarf! HD: flic.kr/p/2rCzjR1
