My Moon picture tonight on International Moon Day! 🔭 Taken through my 8" Dobsonian telescope (that I've had since I was 13 years old) ☺️ Location: Ithaca, NY
⭐Another new paper! ⭐🔭 Proud Advisor Moment 🤗 Skylar, my PhD student, just had their first PhD paper accepted for publication! They did a fantastic job 😀 We update the orbit of the sub-Neptune pi Men c and find evidence of another planet 👀 Paper here for free: arxiv.org/abs/2607.12088
TESS Photometry and Radial Velocity Analysis of the sub-Neptune Exoplanet π Mensae c and the Wider π Mensae Planetary System
Exoplanet characterization relies on precise measurements of planetary orbital and physical parameters. This is particularly important for planetary dynamics and atmospheric evolution, as orbital para...

⭐ Paper Day 🔭 We have a new possible radio detection on another hot Jupiter! 📡 'Tentative detection of circularly polarized bursty radio emissions from the HD 189733 exoplanetary system using NenuFAR beamformed observations' Paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2607.08910 @carlsaganinstitute.bsky.social 🧵👇

The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here… On June 29, 2026, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory officially began the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)! 🔭🧪☄️🌌 🔗: rubinobservatory.org/news/action-...
The FOMO is real! 😥 I will be missing the Exoplanets 6 conference in Porto, Portugal this year I will be living vigorously through all your posts 🙏 #Exoplanets6 #Exo6

Tonight, Diana (my PhD student) & I are observing on the Allen Telescope Array! 🔭 We are searching for signs of technology (technosignatures) from a transiting Earth-like planet in the habitable zone 👽📡 Even cooler, the exoplanet has seen Earth transit in the past 👀 @carlsaganinstitute.bsky.social
⭐ Open House Tonight 👀 Furetes Observatory at Cornell University will be open from 8pm - midnight Venus and Jupiter will be gorgeous 🪐🥰 @cornellastrosociety.org
Auroras (aka Northern Lights) might be visible tonight! 🔭 The best time to view will be before midnight (bright Moon rises after that) Best of luck and clear skies! 😊
Ramona has become a big space fan. Welcome home, Artemis II. What an incredible quest.
#Artemis II - A beautiful new image released The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a the solar eclipse. Captured by one of the cameras on Orion’s solar array wings. A bright spot visible below the Moon’s right edge is Saturn. Then a bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. 🚀🌓🌒

"We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth." Astronaut Bill Anders (Apollo 8) Earthset from Artemis II 😮😭 Source: NASA images.nasa.gov/details/art0...
"We will explore. We will build. We will build ships. We will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers. We will do radio astronomy." Christina Koch 🔭 That's right, we are going to do radio astronomy from the Moon!! 📡 🌒 Learn more 🧵👇 (1/6)

This is an excellent view of the dichotomy of the moment Space can inspire us to be better to each other & fight for justice

New over here so introducing myself with some commentary on Artemis II!
A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

Artemis II will reach a distance of about 252,756 miles from Earth, the farthest from home any human has traveled 🤯

We have lost the signal from Artemis II as they enter the farside of the Moon 🫡 See you in 40 mins 🙏
