Over One Thousand TESS Planets Discovered! This week's 70 planets mark a new milestone: over 1,000 planets have been discovered with data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)! These additions bring the archive's total confirmed planet count to 6,445. 🧵

Houston's helmets for today's Space Game rivalry with UCF are remarkable. Multiple variants.

The Jaguars "Prowler" throwbacks should be their primary uniforms. I will die on this hill without regrets.

The period goes outside of the quotation marks unless it is part of what is being quoted.
What's the word/grammar hill you are absolutely dying on?

The distant #Neptune captured last night from home under great seeing conditions. Triton & a background star are visible nearby. 30 mins of data stacked - see the timelapse animation in the thread showing the orbital motion. #astrophotography #telescope

How it feels working on a paper on Oct. 24th

It's baffling to me that some of y'all see stuff in your mind. You SEE it? The way your eyes see? I always thought "visualize" meant thinking of the words/ideas/feelings associated with a thing, not actual visuals. I am such a total 5 on this scale I didn't know 1-4 existed.

HUGE day for Anti-Isaac Newton
What happens if you drop an anti-apple? In a paper published today in @Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN’s Antimatter Factory shows that, within the precision of their experiment, atoms of antihydrogen – a positron orbiting an antiproton – fall to Earth in the same way as their matter equivalents. This result is a milestone in the study of the properties and behaviour of antimatter. Find out more: home.cern/news/news/physics/…

Has your astronomer friend been replaced by an imposter? Ask them if oxygen is a metal.

What DPI do folks use to make their plots for papers? If you manually set it at all?

It's official! 🥳 We have ended our 53 day streak of 100°+ temperatures for Tucson! 🌡️ The high got up to 99° today but with the nearby storms and cloud cover, that has hindered our typical afternoon heating and ended the 100° streak. #azwx
