Exciting night! The MMT, with the infrared MMIRS instrument, observed Uranus occult a star tonight! It was cool to see the rings and then the planet make the star (mostly) disappear. 🔭 #astronomy
Scientists watch one of Uranus’ rings occult a star Scientists observe Uranus starting to occult a star Scientists observe as Uranus moves past a star and the star’s light reappears

Another shift, another sunrise
Pre-sunrise viewed from the top of a mountain. The sky is orange and yellow along the horizon, fading into blue. There are a couple layers of mountains with clouds between.

The MMT telescope as seen from the fourth floor of the chamber. Parts of the secondary support structure and the chamber wall can been seen reflected in the mirror. Mountains and a yellow/orange sky can be seen through the open chamber doors.

This account might just turn into me posting the photos I’m not allowed to post on the work account 😂 got way too excited about the short snowstorm #snow #canttakethecanadaoutofthegirl
Clouds with virga approach the mountain. Everything is tinted yellow from the sunset.
