Talk one at #AAS247 complete. Someday I'll get all my acronyms right 🥲
Regardless, I am happy to talk about what else the HWO SIG group needs and should do as we ramp up activities. We'll soon announce our February seminar to the email list.

Up early to see my friends and colleagues at #AAS247. Started on brand with a discussion with my Lyft driver about science. Prompted by him first educating me about a local building with alien lore???

Solar system panel time - panelists Laura Mayorga, Geronimo Villanueva, Shingo Kameda, Cristina Thomas and Kurt Retherford, chaired by Heidi Hammel. First question: why do we need to use space telescopes to look at the solar system? Monitoring of objects is key, e.g. following up flybys. #HWO25
