I’m very proud to say that I received an Honorable Mention for my entry into the Chambliss student poster competition at AAS!

Annual request to please respond with any post-bacc positions in astronomy you know of! Grad admissions was rough this year, and there are lots of awesome undergrads now looking for research positions to help prepare them to apply again.

Our final Outstanding Senior is Ansh Gupta in the Department of Astronomy. Ansh was also named the overall Outstanding Senior in the College of Science! Click ⬇️ to read more about Ansh and how he started his own Astronomy Club back in high school. science.arizona.edu/news/outstandi…

Astronomy #cosgrads2024 !!!

Gabe Weible graduates this spring with his B.S. in Physics and Astronomy. "I am most proud of seeing my research project through to the end, from raw images to submitting a paper for publication." Read his full interview: bit.ly/3wnW7yd

Our undergraduate students conduct leading research across many fields in astronomy, from the study of exoplanets to galaxies forming 13 billion years ago! During UA's undergraduate research week, 12 students presented at our Astronomy Undergrad Research Symposium.

A new image released from the Large Binocular Telescope showing Jupiter's moon Io. The sharpest ever taken from a ground based telescope and well beyond what even HST has produced. From Earth Io spans around 1 arc second across. news.berkeley.edu/2024/05/30/wit…

UA press release for our MagAO-X+LBTI observations of WISPIT 2 (Close, van Capelleveen, Weible et al.): news.arizona.edu/news/growing-b…

A team of astronomers from the University of Arizona has discovered a growing planet, WISPIT 2b, outside our solar system. This discovery provides evidence that protoplanets can create gaps found in planet-forming disks. kvoa.com/news/u-of-as-t…
