We are now revealing the 3D structure of the atmosphere exoplanets. Thanks to @eso.org telescopes and the #ESPRESSO instrument, lead by a great work from Dr. Julia Seidel, we found strong jet streams (faster than any in our Solar System!) in the atmosphere of WAPS-121b. Published in @nature.com!

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science from the Remote Worlds Lab! Let's keep promoting science for all children and let's avoid absurd gender biases when buying gifts or clothes to our little creatures. The world is way better, fair and happy if we all contribute to everything.

Amazing art work from children to commemorate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Check out the winners of the Spanish Astronomical Society contest. I am fully amazed of the quality of the drawings. Brith future ahead!

💫 Celebramos el Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia con los premios del concurso de dibujo infantil 'Mujer y Astronomía' 2025 ¡No os los perdáis! Y muchas gracias por la altísima participación! 🔗 www.sea-astronomia.es/noticias/est... #11FEB #11F #11febrero

Five years after he sadly passed away, Kobe Bryant now has two planets named after him. The exoplanets we discovered (nicknamed KOBE-1b and KOBE-1c) are two Neptune-like planets surrounding a late K-dwarf star. Two Mamba's in the sky. @paugasol.bsky.social and the LA Lakers will surely like this.

KOBE 1: The first planetary system from the KOBE survey. Two planets likely residing in the sub-Neptune mass regime around a late K-dwarf. O. Balsalobre-Ruza et. al. https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.01249

Today we are very happy to present you KOBE-1, the first planetary system detected by our KOBE experiment. Two small (potentially Neptune-like) planets around a late K-dwarf. Let me give you some insights into this interesting project and new planetary system.

How cool is the poster announcing the conference commemorating the 30th anniversary of the detection of the first exoplanet around a solar-like star? Looking forward to attend! ohp2025.sciencesconf.org?lang=en

Totalmente de acuerdo con mi amigo Carlos Briones (@brionesci.bsky.social). El espacio, y Marte en particular, debe ser contemplado con admiración y mucho respeto. Su explotación, además, nos pone a todos en peligro.

ExploTación vs. ExploRación: Mientras "otros" ven #Marte como fuente de materias primas para la minería espacial, o como destino del turismo interplanetario... a los astrobiólogos y demás científicos nos interesa su investigación cuidadosa y la búsqueda de vida pasada o presente.

Glad to see many new people in this plataform movimg away from crazyness. So: I am an astrophysicist looking for new exoplanets and studying those new pale dots. I work at the Center for Astrobiology in Madrid. I use this account to learn and disseminate the work of my team, the Remote Worlds Lab.

Adrien Masson, postdoc at our Remote Worlds Lab at @C_Astrobiologia, talking about exoplanet atmospheric escape at the Madrid Area Exoplanet Meeting organized by @esa_es!

On the way (by train!) to beautiful Marseille for a meeting about our #KOBE search for habitable worlds around late K-type stars. First results coming soon…

We are offering a 4-year PhD contract at the @C_Astrobiologia to study exoplanetary systems in K-type stars with the @ESA_Plato and @ESA_JWST missions as well as terrestrial instrumentation. Anyone interested, please contact us as soon as possible. +info👇

Hello Astro community! I am an astrophysicist working at the Center for Astrobiology in Madrid (Spain). I search for new planets, focusing on those with potential for supporting life. I also do outreach and love to talk about ethics and philosophy of the universe!
