whoops, forgot the πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ🎒 !

Here's the annual NITARP press release! (We couldn't put this out last week because we had a skeleton crew as a result of the fires, but it's still a really big deal how many people we had there.) www.ipac.caltech.edu/news/high-sc...

πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ🎒 Check out this awesome Python Notebook that my NITARP alumni made for making SEDs. There is also a Colab version! github.com/jimmynewland...

Our new episode of Explore Exoplanets: The Discoverers is up, in which Ben blows Jessie's mind: Jessie, face in hands: Oh my gosh. It's an ocean world because it has a MAGMA OCEAN? @benmontet.bsky.social: Exactly. It's the first ocean planet discovered! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSP0...

πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ Things that make me happy: This is the first image from Mars, taken July 1965. Why does it look like this? Because computers were slow and it was going to be hours before the computer processed it enough to make an image. The scientists and engineers were impatient. 1/5

I followed a bunch of science communicators yesterday and now several have followed me back, so I feel pressure to skeet something useful/interesting and I don't have anything so I'm reskeeting this from February. . . πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ🎒
