In 2018, the Society split its Junior membership class into two: Graduate Student Members & Undergraduate Student Members.

Each year, the AAS brings volunteers to Washington, DC, to learn how to advocate for science as part of our Congressional Visits Day (CVD). In this guest post, CVD volunteer Lindsey Wiser describes her experience at this year's CVD. #ExploreAstronomy aas.org/posts/advocacy…

AAS member Marcia Rieke (Steward Observatory, University of Arizona) will receive the 2024 Gruber Cosmology Prize for her pioneering work in infrared #astronomy , especially her oversight of instruments allowing astronomers to explore the earliest galaxies in the universe. aas.org/posts/news/202… 🏆

Back in the 1960s...

2024 marks the 125th anniversary of the AAS, and we're walking down memory lane through years of key activities, awards and prizes, scientific events and discoveries.

Over 3,000 pulsars were found since the first one in 1967. Each is just city-size but more massive than the Sun & spinning fast. Beams of pulsar radio waves or X-rays flash by Earth like clockwork. They may be used to steer future probes through space. #GAM2024 #RandomAstroFact

Trillions of neutrinos from the Sun’s interior pass through your body per second, whether it’s day or night. The subatomic particles do you no harm; there’s no risk of neutrino sunburn or even a tan. Physicists detect them at huge underground labs. #GAM2024 #RandomAstroFact

Galactic center crowd: Besides giant black hole Sagittarius A* (4 million x the mass of the Sun), there’s a cluster of binary systems within a few light-years. Each consists of a normal star & a small black hole (5 to 15 solar masses), producing X-rays. #GAM2024 #RandomAstroFact

Gamma-ray bursts come from supernova explosions & probably also neutron star collisions. A GRB, in 1 second, can emit as much energy as the Sun will emit over 10 billion years. No GRBs have yet been reported from our Milky Way galaxy, thankfully. #GAM2024 #RandomAstroFact
