This weekend we headed to London for the world premiere of @robertlaidlow.bsky.social’s #Exoplanet suite. The London Philharmonic Orchestra were on fine form bring the amazing worlds we study to life. So grateful to have been a tiny part of the journey. Check out Rob describing the piece 👇 #sciart

In this video I explain how @stellarplanet.bsky.social and @climatebook.bsky.social research into these classes of planets inspired and informed some of the music. The concert premiere of "Exoplanets" is at 7.30pm on Saturday 29th November at the Royal Festival Hall in London - tickets here:

This photo from the Perseverance rover captured in early March, may be my favorite Mars image from this year. It shows Mars' smaller moon Deimos over the hills of the Nili Planum region in the dark skies before dawn. 🔭 Full res: flic.kr/p/2rwUwV7 Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Simeon Schmauß

A picture of Mars taken during astronomical twilight (the sun was 13° below the horizon). It shows a dimly lit reddish landscape with some hills at the horizon. Deimos, Mars' smaller moon shines with a small halo in the pale sky above.

An acrylic painting done in 1982 for an Earth history related 'Cosmic Calendar' that was supposed to be published by a Carl Sagan affiliated business, but the project fell apart leaving a dozen unused paintings. I have mine, including one that is yet unfinished. Here we see a Paleozoic tide pool.

An acrylic hair brush and airbrush painting from a failed calendar project. 'January' started the series sowing Earth from its formation to 2.2 billion years ago, half the history of Earth. Each successive month represented half the remaining history with some 'editorial shuffling'. I did the first 6 months, Adolf Schaller did the last more recent ones and we collaborated equally on the final month. Unfortunately his work for the project is probably lost except for the 'December' work which I have and still has my contributions unfinished. #SciArt

Super excited that my first PhD paper "Global weather map reveals persistent top-of-atmosphere features on the nearest brown dwarfs" is accepted and now out on arXiv! Check out the first multi-band weather maps of not just one, but two extrasolar worlds! Link to paper: arxiv.org/abs/2408.09606

Brown dwarfs and planetary-mass companions display rotationally modulated photometric variability, especially those near the L/T transition. This variability is commonly attributed to...
