+128 new moons for Saturn! Granted, many of them are tiny and irregular, but they also might represent a graveyard of past moons lost through collisions. The Saturn system is so interesting and complex. Link: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Despite all the chaos going on, it’s nice to see a bit of shared laughter and humanity over technical difficulties in the NASA HQ session #LPSC2025

It's a packed house for NASA Night at this year's LPSC. With things afire generally and at NASA specifically (see my earlier posts today), it's going to be an interesting town hall.

Excited for my second paper to be featured in #AGUPubs! Here we argue that a small metal core size may prevent dynamos at the Galilean moons, even if there is core convection. This work was done in collaboration with my mentors, Carver Bierson and @geojgo.bsky.social 🧲🌝❄️

Last night I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

Enjoyed giving SESE’s first post-RenFest “cloakuium” today 😹

Adobe Illustrator humbles me 😅 but I'm still trying to get better at my graphic design skills! Currently trying to make art for Enceladus (moon of Saturn) and Triton (moon of Neptune). Hoping to improve these for my future presentations ⌛ Yes, I overlaid a picture of a cantaloupe on top of Triton.

#postdoc (or #phd) #jobalert The Experimental Planetology research group at @ethzurich.bsky.social is offering a Postdoc in Experimental Geochemistry and on the determination of liquid iron alloy densities with application to the Moon's and other planets core.

Laurie Leshin: “JPL is closed except for emergency personnel. No fire damage so far (some wind damage) but it is very close to the lab. Hundreds of JPLers have been evacuated from their homes & many have lost homes. Special thx to our emergency crews. Pls keep us in your thoughts & stay safe.”

I have a poster on Neptune’s moon Triton at #AGU24 on Thursday morning! Come say hi, or let me know if you’re around this week!

Short notice, but I will be giving a talk at #AGU24 on Thursday morning at 8:40 AM! This talk is about dynamos at the Galilean moons. Find me in the planetary magnetism session chaired by @caueborlina.bsky.social in Room 202 B 🧲

Delivered my presentation and almost got stranded in the poster hall by a scooter puncture - day 3 of AGU has been a rollercoaster

It is always mind boggling at how massive @agu.org is every year. This is just one session of the poster room, which changes over twice daily for the duration of the conference. #AGU24

There’s gonna be so many academics going for a run around #AGU24 once the weather clears up.

Tbh flying to AGU and being in an airport is a convenient time (for me, at least) to work on the LPSC abstract! Which is due shortly after the AGU 🙃

Here's some art I made of the Galilean moons!

Interested in applying to the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) at ASU for grad school? Check out the upcoming webinar led by SESE faculty and grad students! We do great work :)

This new paper is really cool! They found CO2 on Europa's chaos terrain (e.g., Tara Regio). I'm curious whether this finding supports a metamorphic ocean origin over direct ice melting. It'd be cool if we could tie this into Europa's formation conditions!

I wish there was a way to get rock samples from an icy moon (soon)

Hi all! I'm Kevin Trinh, a 4th year PhD candidate at ASU SESE. I study the formation, evolution, and diversity of moons in the outer solar system :) I mostly use Twitter, but I may be making a slow transition here. Mostly looking to stay connected with the science community!
