One of this week's six new planets is MWC 758 c, a directly imaged giant planet that is forming spiral arms around its very young star, which still has its protoplanetary disk. A nice result from past #NHFP Sagan Fellow Kevin Wagner at University of Arizona! exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu

Sorry, but I'm tired of this ridiculous tyranny of the few. Henceforth, I am referring to M-dwarfs as "normal mass stars", and all other stars (the remaining ~30%) as "high mass stars".

Since #javelina are all the rage this week, I wanted to share some fun facts & wildlife camera photos from my dissertation:

I am presenting my work with Kevin Wagner + others on LBTI imaging of a circumbinary Pleiades brown dwarf at AAS tomorrow the 8th, 9–10 am CT! Come check out my iPoster at the Extrasolar Planets: Direct Imaging I session in Hall B-1/B-2, or view it here: aas243-aas.ipostersessions.com/Default.aspx?s…

Did you catch the aurora borealis last week as it shimmered over Arizona? Check out this stunning video of the rare event, taken at Mt Bigelow with the all-sky-camera outside the Kuiper 61-inch telescope. Courtesy of Gregory Leonard from UArizona's Lunar & Planetary Laboratory.
