Leading up to #CarnegieScienceDay, we’re diving into some big questions, starting with one of the biggest—How did we get here?
Carnegie's Andrew Steele talks about the search for life on Mars & what it can tell us about life itself.

ICYMI: Last week, @caleb_scharf asked us to imagine space exploration as life’s next "Giant Leap" during our most recent #NeighborhoodLecture.
We pulled out five of the most mind-blowing ideas and posted the full recording here.👇🤯

Thank you to the 500+ guests who joined us for a day of discovery at our first-ever #EPLOpenHouse. It was a blast—literally! 🌋
Your curiosity made the day shine, and we can’t wait to do it again next year!
Until then, check out our upcoming events:

How do planets get wet? 💦
A new study in @Nature, led by Carnegie’s @AnatShahar & @Miozzi_F (now at @ETH_en), shows that water can form naturally during planet formation when hydrogen-rich atmospheres meet molten rock.
No comets required. (1/9)

The kickoff #TIMESworkshop at @CarnegiePlanets wraps today—but we’re just getting started!
With new collaborations, clear priorities & a 5-year roadmap, this global team is ready to turn 100M years of climate history into a unified timeline.
Stay tuned to see what comes next!

Happy birthday to Vera Rubin—a scientist who changed our view of the universe.
Today, we’re celebrating her legacy through 5 iconic objects, from a homemade telescope to the spectrograph that helped reveal dark matter.

🎂 Happy Birthday! On this day in 1928, Vera Rubin was born—a scientist who dared to ask the universe bold questions.
Her confirmation of dark matter revealed a cosmos more vast, mysterious, and wondrous than we ever imagined.

Wow! Who else is feeling starstruck after @VRubinObs's first look? Seems like a fitting time to revisit one of #VeraRubin’s most inspiring quotes.
We’ve gathered a few more of our favorites here: carnegiescience.edu/news/10-…
ALT Logo: Carnegie Science Text: “The most important feature of any telescope is the imagination with which it is used.” Photo: Here Vera Rubin is shown with Kent Ford (in white helmet) working with a telescope at Lowell Observatory. In 1965, Carnegie scientist Vera Rubin was performing space observations at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, and Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. She and Carnegie scientist W. Kent Ford used radio-telescopes to observe quasars (quasi-stellar radio sources), the faintest and most distant objects known.

Vera Rubin didn’t just transform astronomy—she left her name across the cosmos!
From observatories to ridges on Mars, here are seven of the honors named after the "Mother of Dark Matter." (1/9)

In celebration of the @VRubinObs first look on June 23, we’re spotlighting the Carnegie scientist whose name it bears: Vera Rubin.
Her work changed the universe—and helped us realize how much of it we can’t see. #VeraRubin #DarkMatter
