🧭 In 1907, a Carnegie "magnetician" named Harlan Wilbur Fisk boarded a ship for Bermuda with a magnetometer, an observing tent, and a mystery to solve. #Carnegie125

Next week, we'll be listening to #Bermuda in stereo for the first time!

Follow along on the @CarnegiePlanets Instagram for behind-the-scenes looks at the fieldwork, science, and story of this mysterious volcanic island. #CarnegieBEST

POV: You're watching the universe unfold. 🌌

Happy #InternationalDayOfPlanetariums! Inside our portable planetarium, kids explore the Solar System, go stargazing in Chile, and travel in time—all from their own classroom. 🔭✨

One of our most beloved of our educational initiatives fits inside the trunk of a car! The Inflatable Planetarium is the ninth item in our #Carnegie125 objects campaign.

We sat down w/ Outreach Coordinator Jeff Rich to learn more. Read the full Q&A👇

🤯 🏝️ Want to know the REAL mystery of Bermuda?

At a recent #NeighborhoodLecture, #CarnegiePostdoc William Frazer took us beyond the triangle to one of the strangest puzzles in modern geology: Why does Bermuda exist?

Good news, we recorded it for you: https://t.co/hLaMJro85J

You don't have to be in a galaxy far, far away to use The Force—just come on down to the high-pressure lab!

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

Diamonds form under extreme pressure and temperature conditions and studying them helps @carnegieplanets geoscientists understand the forces that shaped our planet's history #StarWarsDay #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

The materials scientists at @CarnegiePlanets use the force every day to understand fundamental chemical processes and synthesize novel materials with potentially useful properties. #StarWarsDay

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

The high-pressure geochemists and geophysicists at @CarnegiePlanets use the force every day to elucidate what's happening deep inside our own and other planets. #StarWarsDay #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

Our @CarnegieAstro scientists study, among other things, galaxies far, far away, elucidating the secrets of the early universe and the first generations of stars. #StarWarsDay #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

Object 10 of #Carnegie125: a @washingtonpost clipping by @Joan_Nathan
and a worn grey notebook marked "Lunch Club." Two objects that serve as windows into the oldest surviving tradition at the Earth & Planets Lab.

La stella più incontaminata è una gigante rossa della Via Lattea e ha così pochi metalli che potrebbe appartenere alla 2/a generazione di corpi celesti formatisi poche centinaia di milioni di anni dopo l'universo. @LCOAstro @carnegiescience https://t.co/aZt8BPZWO4

Thanks to @TheRosaLab leader Dr. Lorenzo Rosa for coming to our campus and presenting inter alia his timely research on the impact on food prices of fertilizer supply chain disruptions due to wars in #Ukraine and #Iran cc: @carnegiescience

Magic happens when geographers get together with astrophysicists!! Thank you so much to @carnegiescience for visiting us during our Geodesign Summit and discussing ways that "geospatial" and "digital twins" can apply to "cities of stars" and the telescopes that discover them!

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

So, you want to buy a telescope?

Carnegie experts share advice for stargazers who are ready to graduate to being amateur astronomers with their own telescopes.

#BackyardAstronomers #CitizenScienceMonth #Stargazers #Telescope

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

So you want to be a stargazer, but you don't know how to get started? Carnegie Science Observatories astronomers are here to help—no telescope required.

Step one? Look up! 👁️ 👁️

We know we tend to spend a lot of time talking about the "planets" part of the Earth & Planets Laboratory. But our hands-down favorite planet of all time is still the one we live on. Happy #EarthDay!

Object 8 of #Carnegie125 is an embosser from the early 1900s that once stamped our official seal.

For more than a century, that mark would appear on publications, the Year Book, swag, and even a ceramic core used to cast a Magellan telescope mirror.
