The microlensing event candidate ASASSN-24fs is declining

#AAS245 Aaron Meisner will join us as a plenary speaker at the 245th AAS meeting. His research focuses on revealing the coldest, most ancient brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood by combining large-scale image processing, participatory science, and machine learning techniques.

Update on ASASSN-24fw: staying low. #VariableUniverse

Arttu Sainio Sure. Also, we will not survive to develop the necessary technologies unless we learn to live sustainably on our home world. In which case the immediate reasons for colonising other star systems are pretty much out of the window.

Tory Bruno As noted by Sam Deen, based on these PRELIMINARY observations the Centaur will make a very close return approach to Earth on 2029 Feb 27; estimated 2953 km perigee but could be less given residual venting. This makes it all the more important for its trajectory to be public.

Deep dimming event of #ASASSN_24fw still going strong. No obvious signs of disk gaps. Citizen ASAS-SN #VariableUniverse

A month later: still low!

Join NASA’s Night Sky Network on Thursday, May 15, at 6:00 p.m. PT (9:00 p.m. ET) for a livestream presented by NASA JPL’s Eric Mamajek about the future of exoplanet observation and the hunt for Earth-like planets. The event will also be recorded. Details: youtube.com/live/Kq96EXyNt…

•It will lead to the dismissal of 5000+ NASA employees who support these missions and citizen science projects, likely including me. •It will terminate the Citizen Science for Earth Systems program that funds about 1/3 of NASA's citizen science projects.

•It will place on hold the Science Activation program and the Heliophysics Citizen Science Investigations programs. These programs fund roughly another 1/3 of NASA's citizen science projects.

#AAS246 press conference “Planets, Exoplanets, and Brown Dwarfs” begins at 10:15 am AKDT in Ballroom E. See the speaker lineup at aas.org/meetings/aas24… and watch live on YouTube at youtube.com/c/AASPressOffi…

The Minor Planet Center has designated 3I/ATLAS = C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), or informally "Comet ATLAS", a new interstellar comet that is currently about 4.5 AU from the Sun and screaming through the solar system at 58 km/s (130000 mph)
