Who is Jane Rigby, the lesbian scientist who just received a Medal of Freedom?www.advocate.com The chief scientist at the world’s most powerful telescope is also an out lesbian and mom of one.

For those who celebrate, may #light surround you. Happy #summersolstice! At 4:51 PM US EDT, the #Sun reached its maximum declination, or height above the celestial equator. #astrophysics #SolsticeDay #solstice #calendar #timekeeping 🍎

Experience South Africa's astronomical legacy at #IAUGA2024! From pioneering lunar photography to capturing the great comet of 1882, Cape Observatory's rich history shines. Join us in Cape Town, 6-15 August 2024, for this historic event, the first IAU GA on African soil! 🌍🔭

#AAS244 are you interested in the wealth of #astrophysics #observations recorded on photographic plates? stop by iPoster 107.1 9 AM US CDT June 10 to learn about unlocking these unique records @scixcommunity.bsky.social #data #openscience #histsci #ExploreAstronomy #astrophotography #photography

#AAS244 are you interested in older scientific #literature, the foundational papers of our #astrophysics? Stop by iposter 107.02 9 AM US CDT June 10 Historic Observatory Publications in the #NASA ADS to learn about these & how to contribute @scixcommunity.bsky.social #histsci #library #scicomm

At beautiful #UNC-Chapel Hill for "New Technologies and Dangerous Questions in Astronomy #Education." Should #communication skills be taught in Astro101 or any astronomy course? #moreheadplanet #STEMed #scicom #digitaltransformation #astrophysics 🍎

Hey #AbSciCon24 - don't forget to visit @bartlettastro today or tomorow at the NASA Science Explorer booth #5 for a demo of the new NASA SciX digital library portal! Not at the conference this year? Visit us at www.scixplorer.org to learn more.

Zhen Holmes, astrobiologist, fiber artist You inspire me. Scintilla is magnificent. #AbSciCon24 #astrobiology #knitting #art #womeninSTEM #STEAM #biology

#AbSciCon2024 come by the #NASAScience Explorer booth to improve your research efficiency w/ a #digitallibrary tutorial ... & tattoos, we have those too. #AbSciCon #astrobiology #astrophysics #earthscience #planetaryscience #digitaltransformation #ProfessionalDevelopment @scixcommunity.bsky.social

Attending my 1st #Astrobiology #Science Conference If you are at #AbSciCon24, pls stop by the #NASA SciX booth thru Wed. May 8 to learn about interdisciplinary #digitallibrary #abscicon #astrophysics #planetaryscience #earthscience #heliophysics #DigitalTransformation @scixcommunity.bsky.social

For those who celebrate, may the #Pascha message bless your life with hope. Approximating #vernalequinox with Julian vs Gregorian #calendar frequently causes different #Easter #Sunday #Orthodox and western #Christian churches. #OrthodoxEaster #timekeeping #equinox #astrophysics 🍎 #year #Easter

For those who celebrate, may you find new meaning in the recounting of the Passover. The #Jewish #calendar keeps both #lunar #months and #solar #years, so 15 Nissan is also #fullmoon. #timekeeping #Pessach #astrophysics 🍎

They've done it! Voyager 1 is talking to NASA again. After 5 months of absolutely heroic efforts from the JPL team, they isolated a single faulty memory chip in one of the onboard computers. The coding workaround sounds both cunning and devious, and it's worked. 🥳🧪🔭 ℹ️: blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/

Sadly Voyager1 is glitching again. Currently in interstellar space,15 billion miles away, it can receive commands, but is unable to return data.🤞Hoping NASA can fix its 46yo computer that has less memory than a car key fob. The 45 hr time lag between send/receive makes troubleshooting hard though.🧪🔭

Happy Earth Day from the IAU GA 2024 in Cape Town, Africa! 🌍 ✨ Today, as we celebrate our planet's beauty and diversity, we also reflect on the importance of preserving it for future generations. At #IAUGA2024, we're committed to advancing astronomy for a sustainable future.🔭

Grateful to the #D'Hanis community for letting us join their #eclipse festival. While the weather was not ideal, their hospitality could not be overshadowed. #eclipse2024

Happy birthday to Carolyn Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. 🐡🧪👩‍🔬🔭#histsci Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life and career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood 🧵1/n
