We are all set up and excited to meet the planetary research community at #DPSEPSC2023 in San Antonio!

Meet us at booth 13 in the exhibit hall and make sure to collect some @BSSLTwinkle and @BSSLMauve merchandise.

[Blue Skies Space @blueskiesspace]

Blue Skies Space will be exhibiting at @AAS_Office's #DPSEPSC2023 in San Antonio, TX, USA next week.

Meet us at booth no. 13 to discuss the latest updates on our exoplanet and stellar science missions, @BSSLTwinkle and @BSSLMauve.

[Dr. Caprice Phillips @CapricePhillips]

Happy News this Morning! I submitted this paper a year ago lol.🥲
"Your manuscript entitled “Exploring the Potential of Twinkle to Unveil the Nature of LTT 1445
Ab” has now been accepted for publication in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Main Journal."

[Twinkle @BSSTwinkle]

We are thrilled to announce that @CEA_Officiel has joined the Twinkle Extrasolar Survey programme.

Dr Pierre-Olivier Lagage and his team have become part of Twinkle's international science consortium studying exoplanet atmospheres, stars and stellar discs.

[Blue Skies Space @blueskiesspace]

It was great to meet again @BSSLTwinkle founding members Prof Ing-Guey Jiang and Prof Li-Chin Yeh from @NTHU_Taiwan during their recent London visit.

[Martian Moons @JAXA @mmx_jaxa_en]

Our MMX team met with the team behind the new Twinkle Space Telescope (@BSSLTwinkle) to discuss observations of the Martian moons that could help MMX pick a landing site for sample collection! Hiroyuki Kurokawa (@elsi_origins) explains this importance 🔗: https://t.co/UbwFxqCHyD

"We're almost certain to find new physics", says Associate Professor Sarah Dodson-Robinson from @UDelaware.

One of the newest Extrasolar survey members, Sarah talks about why she's excited to join Twinkle.

Welcome to the newest mission in the @blueskiesspace family!

[Blue Skies Space @blueskiesspace]

We are delighted to announce our new science satellite Mauve, which is designed to study the impact of powerful stellar flares on exoplanet atmospheres and prospects of harbouring life.

[Dr. Caprice Phillips @CapricePhillips]

It's paper day and my 3rd first-author paper is out! Overall this work serves as a continuation of the search for potential biosignatures but with a particular target LTT 1445 Ab and with @twinkle_mission

Here's the story (1/n)

[Blue Skies Space @blueskiesspace]

We were delighted to exhibit at #EPSC2022 in Granada 🇪🇸 last week. It was fantastic to meet so many researchers and discuss @twinkle_mission's science cases. Thanks to @europlanetmedia for hosting us and we look forward to next year's joint EPSC/DPS in San Antonio, Texas!

[Blue Skies Space @blueskiesspace]

A great first day at #EPSC2022 in Granada!

Some exceptional discussions with scientists on how they could use the data from the @twinkle_mission for their extrasolar and solar system research.

Come and see us at booth no. 4 in the exhibition area! @europlanetmedia

The Blue Skies Space team will be exhibiting at @EuroplanetMedia's #EPSC2022 in Granada 🇪🇸. Come and meet us at booth no.4 in the exhibition area where we will be discussing the latest updates from the @twinkle_mission.

[Dr William Dunn @astro__will]

Super super chuffed that Orbyts won the European Research Council 'Inspire' public engagement award this year! So we'll be able to support an extra 10-15 schools next year to get involved with world-leading research projects. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations to @NASA, @ESA & @CSA_ASC on achieving a great start with the James Webb Space Telescope!

We are delighted to see the first image and can't wait to see what #JWST reveals in the future.

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B
