Scott Gaudi and Samson Johnson of @OSUAstro spoke with @SmithsonianMag about the potential behind the new @NASARoman telescope. "The galaxy could be teeming with these free-floating planets, or maybe none." smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

Another #NobelPrize for Black Holes! If you are looking for an #iteachphysics activity to celebrate the discovery with your students check out our @p5xjs Black Holes activity youtube.com/playlist?list=…

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2020 #NobelPrize in Physics with one half to Roger Penrose and the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.

@j_tharindu @SuperASASSN @dassanskriti1 @OSUAstro No, thank you. You and your teams' work is really inspiring to a budding astrophysicist. I'm coming, leave some discoveries for me to find. 😉

Congratulations are in order! Ann S. Tuttle Citizenship Award goes to Emily Griffith for her outstanding commitment to education, outreach, and service in the past year!!!!

Congratulations to BOTH Sanskriti Das (@dassanskriti1) and Tharindu Jayasinghe (@j_tharindu) who have received the Alan K. Markowitz Observational Astronomy Prize.

Congratulations to Tharindu Jayasinghe (@TharindJ) who has received the Ann S. Tuttle Paper Prize for his 2019 paper "The ASAS-SN catalogue of variable stars - II. Uniform classification of 412 000 known variables."

Drumroll please!!!! The OSU Astronomy Graduate Awards for 2020

First first-author paper by an @AstroUDP Ph.D. student (program started 2019) posted in arXiv: Zewdie et al. (2020), arxiv.org/abs/2009.03800. Dejene made a short video explaining the the paper: youtu.be/oxfjbqMqeQs (inspired by @OSUAstro coffee brief)

Very true! David's emails require at least one cup of coffee/tea to get through.
