Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

It's also amazing to think that JWST has revealed so much new about the first-billion years of our Universe.
Anyway the discussions led to the below Nature Astronomy paper!

The infrared view of JWST has opened up the early Universe to study. This Perspective summarizes the key developments in our understanding of the high-redshift Universe from the first 18 months of JWS...

Say Cheese. 🧀 It's time for your official Symposium photo.

In fact, Swiss cheese reminds us of the galaxies, clusters, filaments, and holes that make up our Universe.

The Roman core community surveys and Galactic Plane Survey are going to be absolutely bonkers. You can read more about some of these here: arxiv.org/abs/2505.10574

I'm so privileged to have worked on this mission for 2.5 yrs! #astrosci 🧪☄️🔭
In addition to wonders of the distant universe, #NASARoman will explore our cosmic backyard, the Milky Way galaxy. Discover our home in the universe with Roman. 🔭 🧪

I came up with a somewhat unusual theory — published today — for why JWST is seeing surprisingly bright galaxies in the early Universe: it's due to dark matter. [1/n] 🧪

There is a global climate catastrophe underway, multiple genocides happening, a housing and unhoused people crisis, a child poverty crisis, people are struggling to afford food and what are moderate Democrats and GOP concerned about?
