Here Saturn’s grey chaos rolls over me, and I obtain dim, shuddering glimpses into those Polar eternities

Daniel Yahalomi at the DDA meeting: Oh no, not the astrometric resoeccentric degeneracy! Will be an issue when Gaia DR4 comes out on December 2.

This shows our current picture of the asteroid belt.

DDA speaker Dallin Spencer will also be looking for a postdoc next year. He finds that a secular resonance (g+s-g8-s8, with a circulation period of 66 million years!) causes the depopulation of the “warm" Trans-Neptunian Objects with free inclinations of 4°-6°.

Nate Kaib and Sean Raymond conveniently put their paper about our possibly being in the late stages of a comet shower on the arXiv today. Nate will speak about this in the first talk this afternoon at the DDA meeting. ☄️ arxiv.org/abs/2606.25069

@hookland.bsky.social I thought this was one of yours ;)

Fantastic talk by Lina Necib at the @aas.org Division on Dynamical Astronomy meeting about the genealogy of the Milky Way, partly based on her "Galactic Amnesia" paper. arxiv.org/abs/2605.04138

Sarah Millholland, Rubin Prize Winner, is introduced at the @aas.org DDA meeting with a discussion of a binary system (her twins, born a year ago yesterday). She will speak about Tidal Sculpting of Short-Period Planets. dda.aas.org/awards/rubin...

The Tianwen-2 spacecraft will soon rendezvous with this asteroid (or less likely, chunk of the Moon) and plans to return a sample to Earth late next year. Paper by @bsharkey.bsky.social @teddykareta.bsky.social et al.

Another Jupiter-family comet, 240P/NEAT, that probably spun out of control and broke up as it approached perihelion last year. The vertical bars show the two components of the comet after the breakup. Jewitt, Luu, and Kim arxiv.org/abs/2606.21609

Last slide at Kaustub Anand's talk at the @aas.org DDA meeting. Kaustub is finishing his Ph.D. and is looking for a postdoc ;)

Guangyi Zhang spoke about the tidal evolution of the galilean satellites. She has a figure labeled "Io", "Eu", and "Ga". Eu is Europium and Ga is Gallium, but what's Io? ;)

Algae are part of the big solar energy scam. They don’t work at night.

🎶 Will the ̶W̶o̶l̶f̶ Earth Survive? 🎶 “considering observational proxies for the Sun during the AGB phase, it is likely that the Earth will survive the Sun's giant phases” 🎉

Sadly, I have no access to this 1880 letter to Nature, which somehow appeared when I was looking for a paper about comets :(

Senator, I served with Terry Hubble. I knew Terry Hubble. Terry Hubble was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Terry Hubble. arxiv.org/abs/2606.18330

@asrivkin.bsky.social You love to see it.

From a search for axions: “At one point, we detected a ‘message from God’ in our experiment,” Rybka tells me wryly. “We looked it up in the FCC allocation of spectrum. It was a religious programming station.”

@coldchef.bsky.social This is true, right?
