@LYNBeats @aussiastronomer Sorry for the slow reply, don't check Xitter much these days. I was not at that meeting, that was likely my esteemed colleague @zemogle

@astrosnapper @aussiastronomer Hey wait a minute were you at the global sky partner meeting for LCO last week when Rob and Kalee and a few others were talking????

@LYNBeats @aussiastronomer First one is the 3.5 meter diameter secondary mirror (M2), the second is the 8.4 meter combined primary+tertiary mirrors (M1M3)

@aussiastronomer Is this one of the 8 meter mirrors?

@dvcotton @aussiastronomer I'm sure this was for lols but (fortunately) VHS in this context is most likely VISTA Hemispheric Survey vista-vhs.org/science

Congratulations @ManCity champions for a historic 4th consecutive season #MCFC

Congrats to Dr. Jane Rigby and Dr. Ellen Ochoa, who were selected by the @WhiteHouse to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom today! Dr. Rigby and Dr. Ochoa will be honored for their trailblazing achievements in a ceremony this afternoon: go.nasa.gov/3UK97aD

Very interesting weather and climate office hours by Weather West today focusing on the extreme rain event in Dubai/UAE rather than the normal #CAwx youtube.com/live/o5FtbLoYs… via @YouTube

@kat_volk @GelaSkins Doppelganger... Stupid auto complete...

@kat_volk @GelaSkins Echo seems unsure of her 2d doppy

Yay! My @GelaSkins arrived! Now everyone will definitely know which MacBook is mine 😂. Bonus handwritten praise for Echo’s adorableness with the invoice in the package (Gus got to be on the last laptop, it was her turn!)

Introducing the Amtrak Emotional Baggage car. Tag a friend who needs a lift—we can handle it.

1/ The 4MOST instrument, led by @AIP_Potsdam , will be installed at ESO's VISTA telescope, where it will collect spectra 🌈 of millions of objects over several years. And one of its key components is about to start its journey from Europe to Chile! ⛴️ 📷 AIP

@ag_astro Oh good, reporting the sighting is much easier ! To ebird ! (ebird.org)

@ag_astro Maybe these folks can help ? scottishanimalwelfare.org

@rha_star Congratulations Rhaana !

Pleased to announce that I have been awarded a Leverhulme Trust grant to research astrophysical transients. New jobs alert: jobs.le.ac.uk/vacancies/9580… and press release out today: le.ac.uk/news/2024/febr…

I might just have to go to sleep with the lights on 😂 echo is extremely comfortable, and I cannot reach the lamp from here

Sleep is once again delayed for Echo snuggles. I love her and her snuggles more than sleep❤️

@KatsKitties Welcome Fred, Nth+1 of his name…

New Fred!!! Human says we have to let his little cup of water come to the same temperature as the tank (which is heated) and then he can swim free!

@wonrobot @ESAGaia Not used the @ESAGaia data for Didymos directly but it was vital for calibrating all of our CCD data. Possibly @ziggypao or @fedespoti have insights on why or why not #Didymos would show up in Gaia data

@astrosnapper Hi Tim, I was trying to find sparse photometry data on #Didymos in the @ESAGaia DR3 dataset by downloading its solar systems objects archives. Unfortunately I could not find any. Curious if you ever used #Didymos data from #GAIA. Thanks. #DARTMission

Actually heard a #SuperbOwl (Great Horned) while getting the BBQ ready for #SBLVIII
