And doesn’t she know it!

It’s her one true skill!

She wouldn’t know what to do if she got one! My awkward little girl 😂

Our orange tabby cat, Luna, sitting in a chair at a laptop and keyboard. She looks unenthused, as she should for a Monday.

In this household, we all pull our weight!

Oh somehow I missed that Stan Lee was in that group…that’s disappointing

My favorite tidbit so far at the AAS: you can write an astropy table to your disk as a LaTeX formatted object and never chase ampersands in your paper again! I had no idea…🔭

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

New AstroSky stickers featuring the telescope logo surrounded by “The AstroSky Ecosystem” in a circular design.

Going to be at the AAS meeting in Phoenix next week? Find me (or visit my poster on Monday) to pick up an AstroSky Ecosystem sticker! Send your friends too.

Sorry for the delay over the holidays. Based on the frequency you mention here I will go ahead and above your signup. Part of the concern is we want to build conversations here instead of a lot of redirects to other places. Keep in mind the rule that most posts should not be promotional

Thank you for your reply. May I ask what you would intend to post to the feed?

Cancel. We support open access science but at current we have some concerns with your work being labeled as a journal when your site states you compile and discuss arXiv articles.

Pleiades 60 total integration time. Nice bright stars and picking up some of the gas around them.

Image of the Sun. Can see a couple of sunspot groups on the left side.

Got a Seestar and got to play around a little bit before clouds rolled in. No extra processing other than what the Seestar does. Pretty happy with this as a starter scope that doesn’t require a ton of effort while I’m still finishing my degree. Back yard, Bortle 9 site 🔭

The presentation area for the University of Louisville 3 Minute Thesis finals. A screen displays a 3MT 2025 slide with 2 UofL banners in front.

For personal, “I’m way too busy right now” reasons, I chose not to present at the 3 Minute Thesis Competition this year, but I’m excited to support to incredible people I know sharing their work!

But sure, “liberals are so divisive” 🙄

In my experience, as a grad student, if you know someone in a program taking students then email them! The personal connection means so much. When I was applying I got accepted to every school where an undergrad faculty member reached out directly for me. None where they didn’t.

The scary thing is to think we will look back and see that a free press/ free media wasn’t taken, it was simply given up.

Agreed! I included their name on other social media posts. Not sure why I omitted it here…

Yes! We found it about 20 minutes before they closed and wish I had more time to really look around.

Excuse the hotel room bed pic 😅

Spine of the book, “The Evolution of Physics: The Growth of Ideas from Early Concepts & Relativity and Quanta” by Einstein and Infeld

Found a cool bookstore in Fayetteville, Arkansas that deals in out of print books. Found some couple cool books including a first printing of Einstein on the development of physics.

Emily has been fantastic and generous about building the Astronomy feeds and larger ecosystem. Let’s help out!

I have no shame admitting, I’m so happy British Baking is back!

Well clearly trans men are just doing it to follow the lead…or some other meaningless drivel of an explanation…
I’d “love” to hear the explanation of POC transitioning. To be less persecuted?

Agree fully!

The Milky Way is so disappointed in this post.

Excited to kick off the Habitable Worlds Observatory 2025 Meeting! If any AstroSky people at here as well I’d be happy to meet and chat! 🔭
