Hi, all - I'm not on this platform much these days, but you can catch up with me here on my new podcast, called Unobtanium: it's about the "magic" tech that makes our favorite sci fi movies & TV work. https://t.co/0MDdIfcApL

Our universe over a decade 🌟
Time-lapse videos combining more than 10 years of NEOWISE observations and all-sky infrared images show how our cosmos moves and changes over time. See how this helps us better understand the universe.

Practice makes perfect: we used the NEOWISE mission to measure the physical properties of the asteroid Apophis as part of an international planetary defense exercise led by @moonyguy. NEOWISE paper led by @uarizona senior Akash Satpathy.

Congratulations to graduating @UAZFrankeHonors senior Akash Satpathy, who will be staying at @uarizona for graduate school in planetary science! Working with awesome students and meeting their families gives me hope for the future.

[Vishnu Reddy @moonyguy]

Best part of my job at @UArizonaLPL is when our students graduate. @astro_cantillo graduated as outstanding senior from @UAZFrankeHonors and Grace is headed to CU Boulder for her grad school.

💥BREAKING: we've been 80 000 people on the streets of 🇫🇷 today for climate, social justice and peace! ✊

Cadidates of the upcoming presidential election and media must #LookUp - we need to adress the climate crisis NOW.

We are sad to learn that professor emeritus Judith Pipher has died, and we offer our condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues in physics & astronomy

Prof. Pipher joined the faculty in 1971 and was one of the first astronomers to turn an infrared array toward the skies

[Amy Mainzer @AmyMainzer]

Mourning the loss of dear friend, colleague, and mentor Prof. Judy Pipher, pioneer of infrared astronomy and detectors. She was a giant. Judy, we are lucky to have been able to see the universe through your electronic eyes.

@methanoJen Thank you so much for inviting me! I really enjoyed the cross-cutting questions and interdisciplinary awesomeness. 💫

[Amy Mainzer @AmyMainzer]

Looking forward to this - thank you all for the invitation!

[Amy Mainzer @AmyMainzer]

@aussiastronomer Thank you!! It’s been a great to see a movie about the importance of science get nominated.

[Amy Mainzer @AmyMainzer]

Looking forward to it! ☄️

@jkimopollock @DJSnM Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.

@bilalmujahid @DJSnM That is a very typical size for such a comet. For example, last year’s Comet NEOWISE was about 5 km across.

[US National Gemini Office @usngo]

That time when @GeminiObs North photobombed the NEOWISE comet...

[Amy Mainzer @AmyMainzer]

@DarkSapiens I assumed she was part of a large collaboration to monitor & characterize SN 1a using Subaru cf Moriya et al & Curtin et al. Since Kate’s code isn’t tuned for moving objects, she doesn’t notice it at first epoch. Subaru’s great sensitivity allows detection at large distance.

[Amy Mainzer @AmyMainzer]

@DJSnM I was the science advisor for the movie and am the Principal Investigator for the NEOWISE mission to study near-Earth asteroids & comets. We had a scene showing that this was Kate’s third observing run spanning many months. She found precovery images of it. Scene cut for time.
