five squids 🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑
so wholesome
Started the morning off right with a Skype a Scientist session with 2 3rd grade classes who just read a book about giant squid. Getting bombarded with squid questions first thing in the morning is truly the best start to the day, highly recommend.

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

Finally at #CIAC2025!

In a workshop all about how we figure out which squid populations are different species, esp. in challenging situations like the deep sea or when species are moving around with climate change.

I am also answering the important question, how would a squid shake its ass???

We come with receipts🧾

Tidal tails are cosmic “receipts” of galactic drama, showing who collided with whom. Rubin's camera is sharp enough to catch wind of even the faintest intergalactic tea.

No need to worry about "pics or it didn't happen" with Rubin keeping a close eye 😎 🔭🧪

How do Rubin alerts work? 🌌📲

Think of Rubin Observatory as a friend constantly scrolling through the Universe’s social media feed. Every minute, they refresh and see what’s new — an asteroid has moved, a star has changed in brightness...or maybe even exploded in a supernova. 🔭🧪

Is dark matter a carb?

No, Gretchen, it's not, but we're trying to figure out what it is!

At 85% percent of the Universe's mass and energy, it's sort of like Gretchen's hair: big and full of secrets. 🔭🧪
