This Thursday! At AAAS or online, tune in to hear Dr. Aomawa Shields discuss the many factors and processes can affect planetary climate and habitability, which is vital information for determining a planet's potential for hosting life. Sharing excerpts from her new memoir, Dr. Shields will also speak about her struggle to fit in as a Black woman in astronomy, her nontraditional career path, and finding her place in the universe. Join us!! It's sure to be an amazing time. TICKETS: https://lnkd.in/gFAEd-Bi

Megan Peatt, who graduated from Embry‑Riddle in the spring with a major in Astronomy and a minor in Computer Science, was fascinated by the stars and space while growing up. In high school, she realized that she “wanted to understand how the universe worked — binary systems, black holes, supernovae.” ✨ Now, she is the lead author on a groundbreaking paper documenting a discovery into how stardust is formed by a quirky duo of massive, hotter-than-the-sun stars, and is being published in the Astrophysical Journal. Learn more about her research here! https://bit.ly/3PGUHo9 #GoERAU

We're over the moon 🌙 to announce our partnership with Curiosity Inc., the premium documentary film and non-fiction series streaming service. This collaboration forms a key milestone in our #StellarDreams initiative, aiming to inspire the next generation of astronomers and address the underrepresentation of Black scientists in these fields. Our mission is not just about providing telescopes to socioeconomically challenged Black families across the U.S. 🌠 It's about opening up a universe of educational content to further their learning journey. That's why every telescope recipient will also receive an annual subscription to Curiosity Stream. Kevin Edds, VP of Creative Services at Curiosity Stream, beautifully articulated our shared vision, "At Curiosity Stream, we understand the power of curiosity and its role in shaping future scientists... We’re thrilled to be part of an initiative that gifts telescopes and opens up a universe of possibilities for these young minds." The Science Haven's ambitious goal: give 100 beginner-friendly telescopes and essential astronomy education to 100 deserving Black families, fueling 100 dreams that illuminate a lifetime of discovery. We thank Curiosity Stream for their support in amplifying our cause, and for providing our first major endorsement. Join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter and help us raise the next generation of science. After all, it takes a village to raise a scientist. 💫 #scienceforall #partnership #curiositystream #thesciencehaven #stayingcurious #spaceexploration

(Preference is Michael, not "Mike" please) Husband, dad, former broadcast news guy applying creative audio & writing skills to my faith. I also call online play-by-play/commentary for the Buffalo Jr. Sabres on the side.
On Monday I had the privilege, honor, and joy of sitting for a face-to-face, one-on-one podcast interview with Brother Guy Consolmagno, director of the Vatican Observatory and known as the "Pope's Astronomer." It was a most enjoyable chat, during which we covered the relationship between faith and science, misconceptions about the Catholic Church's relationship with astronomy and science, and where history got it right and got it wrong. I hope you enjoy! https://lnkd.in/eBui-an4

On this Day, A Star 🌟 was Born! Why does Carl Gauss's story matter? Today commemorates the birth of Carl Friedrich Gauss, a mathematical prodigy whose contributions continue to shape the world. From his groundbreaking work in number theory to his advancements in physics and astronomy, Gauss's brilliance illuminates the annals of science. 🔢🔭 It's because of his legacy that today, - we have fundamental mathematical concepts essential for modern science and technology - we understand the Earth's shape better, because of the calculations and predictions he made - we know about Ceres, a dwarf planet in our solar system - aspiring mathematicians and scientists find inspiration in his unparalleled intellect and perseverance and many more At LIFE-To & Beyond Foundation®, we celebrate the enduring impact of Gauss's genius as part of The Beyonder's Initiative. #carlgauss #mathematics #physics #astronomy #scientific #legacy #thebeyondersinitiative #lifetoandbeyond #foundation

A Brief History of Time, written by Stephen Hawking, is an incredibly popular science book that I am fortunate to own. This book has sold over 10 million copies and remained a bestseller for 4 years worldwide. Have you ever wondered about the birth of the Universe? Or if time can be reversed? Or if space has no boundaries? Hawking addresses these intriguing questions in his book, delving into the origins and evolution of the Universe, which are the focal points of modern astronomy and physics. He explores cosmic phenomena such as the Big Bang and black holes, while also discussing the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. For anyone passionate about cosmology, A Brief History of Time is a must-have addition to your library as it offers an incredibly worthwhile read. #BingBang #BlackHoles #StephenHawking #cosmos #universe #bestseller #science #book #space #astronomy

PhD in Astrophysics. Researcher of light pollution, low-mass stars, and stellar characterisation. Developer of scientific HPC software.
Did you know that the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Exeter is offering a new module this year on the physics of climate change? I got the privilege sit down with Senior Lecturer and Module Lead, Dr Raphaëlle Haywood, to discuss the module. This module aims to give a an understanding of the physics underlying climate and climate change, including building toy models of the climate, as well as empowering students to take action. On personal note, I wish this module had existed during my undergraduate days! Thanks so much to Raphaëlle for taking the time out to share this work.

"We might be able to derive a theory of everything, but there is an outlier that resists that goal, and that is gravity (Janna Levin)". Video Link: https://lnkd.in/ddB3geiP Hi, I am an astronomy enthusiast, a writer and someone who loves to explore the boundaries of the universe. My passion for astronomy started when I was in university studying space sciences and gravity made me fall in love with it. The idea of a force (it's not actually a force) keeping the universe together, blows my mind and one of my lifelong dreams is to find out what creates this beauty. Follow me on this journey as I explore gravity as an absolute beginner. PS: If you love gravity we really need to talk!!

Dr. Sarah Sadavoy, assistant professor in the department of physics, engineering physics, and astronomy has devoted her career to unraveling the mysteries of space. Today, she turns her attention to our own solar system as the Great North American Eclipse sweeps across the sky, casting much of the continent in darkness. But why are we so fascinated by eclipses, and what can they teach us about our world – and worlds beyond? Find out below. https://bit.ly/3JcmIRK #solareclipse #GreatNorthAmericanEclipse #eclipse #queensu #queensalumnireview

🎥 Did you know that ESnet has a Lunch & Learn webinar series on Fridays that anyone can tune into? In 2017 ESnet, in collaboration with the National Science Foundation (NSF) Foundation, began sponsoring semi-weekly talks on engineering and engagement topics, primarily focused on on designing, building, and maintaining advanced cyberinfrastructure to support scientific use cases. 🔭 ✨ For example, Curt Dodds, IT Manager for the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, recently gave a talk on "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, All the Time: Democratizing Astronomy Big Data" — how we go about sharing the massive data sets more quickly that astronomy is generating so that more scientists can access them. Check it out! And here's who's coming up: https://lnkd.in/gcnEsfsC
