Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

The Princess Bride is always my first choice, but here's a close second (and I've currently only watched KPop Demon Hunters exactly 6 times)

Tell a man Oppy's last message was "my battery is low and it's getting dark".

If he doesn’t cry, he’s not the one 🚩

Join us for the next public night!

I have eaten
the planets
that were in
the inner solar system
and which
you were probably
saving
for living on

Forgive me
they were delicious
so crunchy
and so warm

Yeah but 'palindromes' backwards is 'semordnilap' which is a word/phrase that makes a different word/phrase when spelled backwards and that's pretty fun

You're invited to the next public night at Cronyn Observatory!

I don’t really care if AURORA BOREALIS NORTHERN LIGHTS happened to you. It should have happened to me instead.

XKCD meaning of auroras cartoon, showing "normal" at poles, "cool and exciting" in temperate zone, "someone should go check on our satellites" in subtropics, and "A bunch of open questions in Solar-Terrestrial physics are about to be answered" at the tropics

Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

I made a mistake of opening Bluesky and now I'm cursing the clouds and so jealous of everyone seeing aurorae right now

Yes! It helped me find some papers I was looking for for my comprehensive exam (ch 1 of thesis), and showed a gap in the field. It also recently updated me that a new paper came out on the topic (it was my paper lol)

Celebrate Cronyn Observatory's 85th Anniversary on Oct 25th! Join us for talks on the Observatory's history, explore artifacts, and observe through telescopes (weather permitting). 8-10pm, FREE admission!

Construction crane from the deck of the Hume Cronyn Observatory. Spotlights on, pointed directly at the observatory, and the crane itself is decorated in purple and white Christmas lights. No stars visible in the background.

The light from the spotlight, illuminating the wall through the opening in the dome.

I just got back from practicing with the 10" refractor at our university's observatory! Very fun in concept, until I get there and learn that not only did they turn on the spotlight pointed at us, they bedazzled it with Christmas lights too

Vertical comic structured like flow chart. (1) Einstein had an insight that overturned physics, thus proving his value. (2) I hope *I* have value. I’ll try to have an insight that overturns physics, to check. (3) [Time Passes] (4) Oh no! My insight didn’t overturn physics! But I don’t think I’m worthless… [arrows to two different options] (5a) Healthy Path: Maybe this was not a well-thought-out test of my value. (5b) Path of Ruin: The establishment must be *suppressing* my insight!

Thanks for a fun #MinCup25 this year.
All temporary rivals are forgiven, it was a good match.

And #Kyanite, here's to you.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Wow, this is a tough final... Two really cool minerals, but #tugtupite has my heart!! The colour-changing properties are just too cool, and adding the "reindeer blood" Inuit lore of its name is super neat

Text on top of a picture of a dust cloud in space. It reads: "Interstellar Medium? More like Interstellar TEDIUM! I don't care about your A V or your R V JUST SHOW ME THE STARS"

The official number of exoplanets has surpassed 6,000! And you can access data on all 6,007 of them right here at IPAC 📈 🪐

Saturn reaches opposition this weekend (Sep 20-21) – the time when Earth passes directly between the Sun and Saturn, bringing this ringed giant closer to us and making it appear at its brightest. Join us for the public night!

#taenite had me at Widmanstätten patterns! They're my favourite features of meteorites, and space rock always has my vote <3

As beautiful as #azurite is, the space rock has my vote any day of the week. Literally called "space green" #kosmochlor is so cool!!

Lol I also used it in my paper!! I think it's even in the abstract...

#perovskite gets my vote -- brown dwarf chemistry all the way!

Omg, my dad has a dog named Luna who looks very similar! Lunas unite!

Come join us for the next public night this Saturday!
