I cannot vote as a permanent resident, and so my fate and that of my family are dependent on all of you who can vote. The Trump years were chaotic and stressful for those of us on temporary student/work visas. I don't want that to happen again

Tomorrow, please vote #HarrisWalz

.@UCSDAstro's ⭐Shelley Wright⭐ has spent her career building telescopes🔭 and instruments used to study supermassive black holes, distant galaxies🪐 and even the search for other life. Learn more about her work in this Q&A: https://t.co/bmydTPoPRq @ikashell

@Regulus_wang Yay! Looking forward to all the cool science.

Check out our latest paper on the black hole mass of a powerful quasar at z~3: BH masses can be highly uncertain despite a beautiful #JWST data set. Important to keep in mind especially for works at higher z. Great work by @carobertemes. Comments welcome

@BethanyALudwig @ikashell That’s full circle!

[DW @DomiWylezalek]

Really nice summary of our most recent paper on quasar outflows with JWST, led by Dave Rupke. @NASAWebb @ESAWebb #Q3D @AstroVayner @carobertemes

@SPACEdotcom No it won’t.

@JustTheLetterU I can relate 🤣

@heidiwhite @iExoplanets Awesome news Heidi! Congratulations!!

@astroganze Congratulations!!

@SaturnsWings Lack of proprietary time only hurts the junior people🙁Hang in there I feel ya!

[Andrey Vayner @AstroVayner]

@conselice Offering some financial compensation to those that agree to referee or AAS Journals or giving free publication to referees could be a good incentive? This could greatly help junior people who don't always have the free time to referee papers in addition to those they write.

@neiltyson @elonmusk He is also among those who is ruining optical, infrared and mm astronomy, changing our skies for the worst for the entirety of our planet’s population and as a member of the astronomical community I would think you would be against that? No? Doing good does not erase the bad.

Really exciting first result from our Q3D team using JWST and the NIRSpec instrument. The unprecedented sensitivity of JWST allowed us to discover several galaxies in a merger process around an extremely red quasar. https://t.co/ccylPa8GLo

This kaleidoscope of colors reveals not one but four galaxies swirling around each other in the early universe. #NASAWebb uncovered this galaxy cluster in the process of forming: https://t.co/bssfTMU04k

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Knot your average discovery 🥨

We thought there was just one, but Webb revealed there are at least 3 galaxies forming a cosmic knot around this quasar. A quasar is a super bright galactic core, powered by a supermassive black hole. https://t.co/wiFgbPw7dR

Let's untangle this👇
