Did you know?

In 2025, the U.S. quarter features Vera Rubin, honoring her landmark discovery of the existence of dark matter — a tribute that perfectly coincides with the first light of the Rubin Observatory(@vrubinobs.bsky.social), celebrating her enduring legacy in unveiling the unseen universe.

Big thanks to Aster G Taylor from University of Michigan for sharing how their research on giant planet formation, dark comets, and interstellar visitors like 3I/ATLAS can help us understand how stellar systems form and evolve.
