Just found this tucked away in the Nature Astronomy paper describing the new exoplanet that's part of a Tatooine-like solar system with 2 stars. How good are nerds? doi.org/10.1038/s41550…

Happy first anniversary, #NASAWebb! One year after beginning science operations, Webb is celebrating with a highly detailed image of the closest star-forming region to Earth. Peer deeper in the cloud: webbtelescope.pub/3JUoBTA

Although not yet fully calibrated, ESA's Euclid mission delivers stunning first test images 👏 The mesmerising results indicate that #ESAEuclid will achieve the scientific goals that it has been designed for – and possibly much more. 👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

Gave a talk on the search for circumbinary planets at #ukexom2023 this week

Fun exoplanet result, though I’d take the detection of a signature of life with a big pinch of salt (as the authors do too). Lots of work to understand the chemistry of these odd worlds.

Why do clingfilm manufacturers insist on making their boxes weaker than the film?? 🤔

Today we have a paper led by Gavin Coleman, using a large parameter space of models to understand the formation history of the recently discovered circumbinary planetary system TOI-1338/BEBOP-1. With Richard Nelson, Amaury Triaud and Matt Standing. (1/5) arxiv.org/abs/2310.11898

🆕 Have astronomers detected the first ever extrasolar ‘glory’? 🌈 Potential signs of the rainbow-like ‘glory effect’ have been detected on a hellish planet outside our Solar System. 🤝 The team used data from ESA CHEOPS – Characterising Exoplanet Satellite & other missions 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…

This week I had the privilege of giving an invited talk at the European Astronomical Society Annual Meeting 2024 in Padova, Italy. My topic was the search for exoplanets in multiple star systems. 🌏🌠 #eas2024padova #Exoplanets #astronomy

Oh my goodness, MORE evidence of phosphine on Venus, a potential BIOSIGNATURE 👀👀😍

Why does the #Olympics2024Paris logo look like it wants to speak to the manager? 🤔

Spotted in the wild in Glastonbury... ☀️🛸👽

🌟Exciting news! I was interviewed for the documentary series “The UnXplained: Mysteries of the Universe” with William Shatner. I appear in S1ep8 The Life and Death fo the Sun. Stream it on HISTORY or find it on online! 🚀🌌 #TheUnXplained

Paper Day! Title (also a TLDR): Atmospheric retrievals suggest the presence of a secondary atmosphere and possible sulfur species on L 98-59 d from JWST NIRSpec G395H transmission spectroscopy 🧵 #exoplanets arxiv.org/abs/2408.15707

“Somehow Palpatine returned” doesn’t sound all that stupid now does it.

. @ESA_Gaia reveals two mysterious objects: a huge exoplanet & a brown dwarf, both orbiting low-mass stars, a scenario thought to be extremely rare. This is the first time a planet has been discovered by Gaia’s ability to sense wobbling stars 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…
