I watched the defense today and it was the most fun I’ve had listening to someone talk about baryons in an astrophysical context, maybe ever! Congrats to Dr. Omoruyi 🔭🧪
Warmest congrats to former SAO Astro REU student *Dr* Osase Omoruyi, seen here with her excellent PhD advisor Dr Grant Tremblay celebrating her successful thesis defense today.

Not a lot of great news these days. But celebrating *Dr.* Osase Omoruyi yesterday was a bright light. Being lucky enough to advise her has been the highlight of my career. Congratulations, Dr. Omoruyi!

Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.

A truly transformative mission, one of the most impactful, one that punched far above its cost class, one that will be remembered as a huge milestone in the history of astronomy. Congratulations and ❤️❤️ to the whole @esa.int Gaia team. #AAS245
The ESA #Gaia mission has delivered the best Milky Way maps to date and taken its last starlight before spacecraft retirement 🔭

#AAS245 there is an official AAS Bird in the plenary hall. I hear its name is Birdy McBirdface. Birdy is friendly to astronomers and brings good luck if it lands on you. 😎🕊️

It’s day one of #AAS245 and our Vice President @dawngelino.bsky.social is already wielding a 12 inch butcher knife. Doesn’t bode well for the week. 😬

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject.
This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject
On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.

I have now heard from three friends at JPL who lost their homes this morning. Beyond devastated and heartbroken for them. Want to help however possible (gofundme?). A group is starting to collect info so stay tuned for ways to help.
