The countdown is ON. ⏳
We’re one year from launch — and kicking off the Ready, Set, Roman! Training Series!
First up: Tools for Exploring Roman’s Core Community Surveys Nov 4 (Tomorrow!) • 1 PM EST
Get hands-on with the data that will shape a decade of discovery.

I don't post a lot, but I am particularly proud of this paper. It's the first observational sample of binary companions to stripped envelope supernovae. And places constraints on the binary evolution physics.
It only took me 10 years to build with HST!

In these turbulent times for science, I can't resist putting out my "Case For Space". It's sometimes a little scary to speak up, but here I go. I hope this doesn't go viral. 😉

Let's get back to Euclid's Early Release Observation (ERO)! 🔭
This is a new version of mine of the Messier 78 observation by Euclid. I wanted to improve my first try from months ago, so here is it!
M78 is a nebula located some 1,350 light years away.

Named the Sickle, these are pillars seen by the JWST in mid-infrared in the center of the Milky Way. The stars being born here will be monsters!
