🚨 2024 YR4 asteroid impact update! New observations conducted with our VLT & facilities around the world have all but ruled out an impact of the #asteroid with our planet. After the latest observations, the odds of impact dropped to nearly zero. Read more: www.eso.org/public/news/... πŸ§ͺπŸ”­

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

πŸ”­ Symposium S1 at the EAS Annual Meeting 2025 will be all about the Gaia mission: "Gaia: The (TWO) Billion Star Galaxy Census: Anticipating the Leap in Understanding of Planets, Stars, the Milky Way with Gaia DR4" eas.unige.ch/EAS_meeting/... Abstract submission is open! Deadline: 3 March 2025

πŸ”­ New project on stellar abundances of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, funded by a DAINA grant, has started! mao.tfai.vu.lt/cno In this project, we will study the abundances of C, N, and O in a large set of stars that belong to all stellar populations of the Milky Way #SAGATeamCAMK #Astrophysics

πŸ”­ 61 Cygni to mark the end of Gaia's science observation phase! January 15th, 2025, marks the end of Gaia's observation phase. Read more here: cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/iow... Image credits: Credits: ESA/Gaia/DPAC - CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO #ESAGaia #GaiaMission #GaiaDPAC #SAGATeamCAMK

πŸ”­πŸŒŸJoin the #SAGATeamCAMK - We are #hiring (again)! A 3-year postdoc position is open to work on a comprehensive study of CNO abundances in Milky Way stars. Deadline is January 10th! www.camk.edu.pl/en/archiwum/... #astrojob #astrophysics #postdoc #Research

πŸ”­ Just a reminder - Deadline is Friday, December 6th.

πŸ§ͺβš›οΈβ˜€οΈπŸ”­ This thread explains 3 critical flaws in the Hoyt & Schatten (1993) TSI series. While the paper has many issues, these 3 suffice to negate the sharp recent increase in the series, showing the apparent correlation with Earth's temperature was merely an artifact.

I see a lot of my mutual follow these accounts. Don't do it! They're spam. They steal content, get basic facts wrong, don't credit creators, and often amass an audience so they can link to spammy sites.

πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ Curious if anyone would like to share thoughts/experience with Qeios and their public peer review approach? Is this a legitimate initiative? Or something to be wary of? #AcademicSky

Still looking for more applications from women to help moderate the feeds! I'd really like to try and get a little bit more gender balance on the team. πŸ”­ It's not a big time commitment (~10 minutes a week or so) and can be applied to easily with the form below ⬇️

πŸ”­ "The European Union Funds the Conceptual Study of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope" On Nov. 4th, the contract was signed to fund the conceptual study of the Wide Field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST), which could become operational in Chile after 2040 See: www.camk.edu.pl/en/archiwum/...

Perhaps more timely now than ever: We are hosting a scientific symposium (among other events -- see pic) at UChicago, focused on promoting and retaining women in astrophysics. Symposium registration (link in next tweet) is open through Jan. 30 and we offer hybrid attendance. πŸ”­πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬πŸ§ͺ

πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ We are hiring! One postdoctoral position is available at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center, in Warsaw, Poland, to work on a comprehensive spectroscopic study of metal-poor stars. See details here: www.camk.edu.pl/pl/archiwum/... Deadline is December 6th, 2024 #astrojob
