And Hubble has been making history ever since! π
Hey #astrosci community! After working on this project for 3 years, there's a new Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive that's just been newly made available at @stsci.edu: archive.stsci.edu/missions-and... follow me to learn more! (1/n)
War ravaged Portland.
Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin β¨ figured out what stars are made of β¨ when she was just 25. ππ§ͺ
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department β at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:
It's also amazing to think that JWST has revealed so much new about the first-billion years of our Universe.
Anyway the discussions led to the below Nature Astronomy paper!

Say Cheese. π§ It's time for your official Symposium photo.
In fact, Swiss cheese reminds us of the galaxies, clusters, filaments, and holes that make up our Universe.

I need this book! Lol π π€£π
My mind is absolutely blown by these stellar halos nearby NGC 4364!

The Roman core community surveys and Galactic Plane Survey are going to be absolutely bonkers. You can read more about some of these here: arxiv.org/abs/2505.10574
I'm so privileged to have worked on this mission for 2.5 yrs! #astrosci π§ͺβοΈπ
JWSTβs most ambitious view is now available to everyone π§ͺβοΈπ. The COSMOS-Web survey is now complete, combining JWST and Hubble infrared data. Its spectacular views show us the Universe as never before by @startswithabang.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/startswi...
#NASARoman will track cosmic changes over time in unprecedented scale and clarity. Discover the dynamic universe with Roman. Credit: NASA, STScI, Caltech/IPAC. π π§ͺ
Been an exciting week for @galaxyzoo.org - our relaunch with JWST imaging has resulted in highest daily classification rate since March 2020. www.galaxyzoo.org. ππ©βπ¬π
I came up with a somewhat unusual theory β published today β for why JWST is seeing surprisingly bright galaxies in the early Universe: it's due to dark matter. [1/n] π§ͺ

Happy to announce our accepted paper on the HI and star formation in simulated and observed galaxies in different cosmic environments is now on ArXiV!

The NASA Hubble Fellowship Program recently named 24 new fellows to its 2025 class. The program enables outstanding postdoctoral scientists to pursue independent research in any area of NASA astrophysics: bit.ly/4c2ZJpI π π§΅
STOP doing SPECTROSCOPY
Gonna use no. 46 π
Happy birthday!!
JUST RELEASED: DESI DR1 & BAO RESULTS FROM DR2π
It's #Euclid data release day!
@esa.int and the Euclid Consortium are making 63 degΒ² of Wide Survey data available to the world. Imaging and spectroscopy data, catalogues and masks for 20+ million galaxies, quasars, stars and substellar objects.

This is the oath that I, like every other US federal civil servant, swore. I could make more $ outside the gov. I chose public service. I believe in our mission.

There is a global climate catastrophe underway, multiple genocides happening, a housing and unhoused people crisis, a child poverty crisis, people are struggling to afford food and what are moderate Democrats and GOP concerned about?
"Where people pee."
These fascists don't want us to survive.
