Thank you!
Excited to support the American Astronomical Society's Shapley Lecture program this year! I'll be heading to West Virginia for a series of events at a school, library, and other venues. aas.org/press/aas-an...
Happy to support this excellent work on 2024 YR4, in which JWST 🔭 shows that this asteroid will not hit the Moon in 2032 after all - whew! (though it would have been fun to watch!) Great team led by @asrivkin.bsky.social
or also, i dunno, like maybe what you'd expect from an icy object that formed like 10–12 Gyr ago beyond the H2O ice line in a relatively cold, dense and well-shielded protoplanetary disk midplane? 😉
JWST 🔭 reports deuterium galore in 3I/ATLAS in new paper by @drcordiner.bsky.social et al. arxiv.org/pdf/2603.06911
As a longtime advocate for a US-led ice giant mission, I’m simultaneously disappointed (from a US perspective) and delighted (from a basic science perspective)
Oh Michele, I am so sorry. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Uranus Cat is also a favorite. I didn’t expect to like #Uranus cat as much as some others, but here we are. #spaceArt #sciArt
New 🔭 coming to a sky near you soon!

"Fundamental science is a long game, and government departments and agencies can sponsor long-term projects, whether the goal is mapping the entire U.S. coastline or the entire human genome." Or building an advanced space telescope 🔭 to find out if humanity is truly alone in the cosmos.
NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory 🔭 has issued its first scientific alerts, marking a historic milestone in astrophysics. Expected to increase to seven million alerts per night (!!!), these first alerts start a new era of dynamic, real-time observation of the night sky. More: noirlab.edu/public/news/...
A cool thing in these JWST 🔭 Uranus infrared images -- ASIDE from the (artificially-blue) polar cap & the dynamic bright clouds -- is the imaging of the aurora! It is the reddish glow extending above the clouds (e.g. 10 o'clock in the image on the right) www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...

STScI is opening its doors for a celebration of creativity at the intersection of art, science, and community on May 6 at 6 p.m.!
The evening will feature an art exhibit of works by local artists inspired by space and astronomy.

Jupiter bonanza scheduled for JWST starting this Friday 🔭 - woo hoo! The teams are calling on amateur astronomers to assist with context imaging of the Solar System's largest planet.
Congratulations! 🎉
Remember you don’t need a PhD to work in the space field. Sometimes
all you need is IT business experience. This might be YOU!!

The Rubins at NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory 💖
We were delighted and honored to welcome members of Vera Rubin's family to Cerro Pachón for a recent tour of Rubin Observatory ✨
Thank you so much for visiting! 🔭
@leefeinberg.bsky.social is the BOSS - congrats, Lee!
Sincere condolences on your loss - good that you could be there. Sympathies to you and your family.
Do you like seeing the amazing science from JWST and Hubble 🔭? Are you a seasoned leader of Science Communication who wants to see more of this? Space Telescope Science Institute's Office of Public Outreach is seeking a Division Head! Apply here: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...
Thanks for that, Steve...

Charlemagne “assists” in the making of the valentines door wreath
Let’s give a big #caturday welcome to young Charlemagne! Metatron finds him acceptable as long as Charlemagne respects Met’s personal space.
If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)
