Shipping notification saying the item would be delivered in 2 days. Shipping history shows that an attempt to deliver failed due to the "customer not available or business closed"

Lol I got the notification that my package was out for delivery and then the expected date was Wednesday.
Husband: so they're just gonna drive around with it for 48 hours?
No, dear reader. They are going to lie about delivering it AND keep driving with it

I can't believe the Stray Kids pepero box only has 6 packs! It should have 8 😭

Doesn't being vaxxed also help keep you from spreading it?

Your house guest also was vaxxed

Getying covid and being out for weeks and then coming back to work and having to fire on all thrusters for JWST proposals for the last three days of the deadline was cruel and unusual of the Universe

I am still positive

To solve this problem we should release more bats

I know nothing. But historically all Seattle teams suchk so it's a pleasant surprise. We'll have to complain about something else.

Wait are the Mariners good?

Two more have reported covid to the conference

Praise be Tylenol arthritis

I'm pretty sure I know who at this conference gave me covid and given there were virtual attendance options I am so pissed as I lie here stuck away from home suffering from these horrid joint pains.

I wish ADS had a feature that was like "Did you mean [correct spelling of authors name]?"

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

The power has gone out at work many times this summer. We're a place that invested in generators. And I realized today that as annoying as it is to have the emergency light come on and the AC go out, the wifi *is* on the generator. Based

Barstow: reaching wishlist includes long baseline stability (500 hrs), broad wavelength coverage (0.15-2.5um), and polarimeter. And we get eclipses and transits for free. #HWO25

Barstow: reflected light phase curves are also really good probes of aerosol properties. Polarimetry would also be a very useful diagnostic of aerosol composition #HWO25

Barstow: HWO phase curves will make many more planets accessible and will uniquely give us reflected light phase curves instead of only thermal and makes a bunch of species accessible like Sulfur species in 200-400nm wavelengths #HWO25

Barstow: Phase curves with JWST have showed us that e.g. on WASP-43b winds are so fast that it cannot cool quickly enough to form things like methane #HWO25

Barstow: there is a dichotomy between the types of giant planets observed with jwst (tidally locked) and giant planets like Jupiter that are fast potatoes. But what is happening in the in between P~30days and what might their atmospheres be like chemically and dynamically #HWO25

Barstow is presenting work on behalf of all of us on the dynamics and chemistry of transiting exoplanets scdd #HWO25

Solar system panel time - panelists Laura Mayorga, Geronimo Villanueva, Shingo Kameda, Cristina Thomas and Kurt Retherford, chaired by Heidi Hammel. First question: why do we need to use space telescopes to look at the solar system? Monitoring of objects is key, e.g. following up flybys. #HWO25

Happy to share that I've been selected to join the leadership team of the new Habitable Worlds Observatory Science Interest Group, representing the Cosmic Origins community in particular. I look forward to working with my awesome co-chairs on furthering this inspiring mission! #HWO25

Folks should be following @drjovian.bsky.social for a play by play of the #HWO25 conference this week!
