This year we're celebrating 15 years of 365DaysOfAstro ! This hour of our Hangout-a-thon, we are joined by a collection of podcasters who have helped make this community-contributed show so special. Watch at twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX

Our community can't talk on any topic without somehow discussing how science fiction can be tied in (If it's Dr Pamela L Gay & Ally, all roads lead to Star Wars). In hour 17 of Hangout-a-thon, we're dedicating ourselves to Sci Fi & you're invited! twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX

We are less than $2000 away from our next stretch goal! Want to see our weekly newsletter of news and updates come back? Donate! bit.ly/CQX-FY25 (And come hangout on twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX)

We're in hour 19. Within 5 minutes we went from hitting $6119 in donations, which is rotationally symmetric, to $6226, which is a good old-fashioned Palindrome. We are a palindrome, $1331, away from our next goal. Donate: bit.ly/CQX-FY25

Our fearless leader, Dr Pamela L Gay, just made the mistake of getting distracted by current events when she went to Twitter to share about our Hangout-a-thon. Avoid the news cycle and instead tune into twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX We're currently discussing Astrophotography.

Got planet? Our Dr Pamela L Gay made these planets during hour 21 of Hangout-a-thon. She makes art as a side hustle to support her science communications. Want to see her and our other staff have hobbies instead of side hustles? Make a 1 time donation at bit.ly/CQX-FY25

We have almost hit our final goal for Hangout-A-Thon. We are so very close. We are a 501(c)3 which makes any donation tax deductable where it applies. planetaryscienceinstitute.kindful.com/?campaign=1327…

We are in hour 26. 14 min remain. We are $1435 from our stretch goal of being able to get Ally a new computer, and $102 from the next Palindrome. Can you help us get to a new number? A better number? Donate: bit.ly/CQX-FY25 Watch: twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX

Hi everyone. This is our last post on Twitter under the current regime. If things change, we will return. For now, look for us where the skies are blue as cosmoquest dot org

To all our space science colleagues, CosmoQuest.org is funded through donations and sponsorships. If you need someplace to host pre-existing DEI content you need to remove from your project sites, we can help. Reach out to Dr Pamela L Gay at plg at psi dot edu. We got you.
