Congrats to the #DARTMission team for their contributions to #PlanetaryDefense!

Today's issue of @nature features DART on the cover & includes scientific papers on what the team has learned since DART's impact with its target #asteroid last September: https://t.co/gNDlJMAYxr

We're 2 months away form Asteroids, Comets, Meteors and there is still no news about how much the registration fee is or how to register for the meeting. All we're hearing when reaching out to the SOC/LOC is that this is something that @usraedu @LPItoday have to communicate

@ESO Thanks @ESO for the awesome support

[ESO @ESO]

1/ 📢 First results in from ESO telescopes on the aftermath of #DART’s asteroid impact! https://t.co/FVLGfzwIJL

The collision was a test of #PlanetaryDefence, but also an opportunity to learn more about the asteroid’s composition. Read on👇

All you need to know about applying for Astro PhD studentships in Edinburgh! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔭🌌🛰🪐https://t.co/wSzAY2MtoW

I see a lot of PhD application pain on this app, so I will just point out that:
1. there is no fee to apply
2. the application form is 1-page long

deadline 8 January

I've been told I should tweet about my first-authored paper coming out but **not in a boring way** so here goes:

[Colin Snodgrass @colinsnodgrass]

From today's @NASA briefing about #DARTMission, a nice demonstration of how we measure the effect of the impact using telescopes - including @PhysAstroEd's contribution through observations at the @ESO 1.54m Danish telescope (part of @H2020Neorocks!)

[DART - OPTiK @DartOptik]

Through funding from the @royalsociety, we were able to fund an intern to help us with the communications and outreach parts of the #DARTOPTiK project. We visited the local school in Ileret, and were able to get the kids to come and look through the telescope at TBI 🔭

1/ If you've read our latest #ESOblog you’ll know that our VLT has watched the aftermath of the #DARTmission impact:

Here's a sneak-peek of the results. First, an image taken with the MUSE instrument. Look at those plumes!

[Samuel L. Jackson @samleejackson]

So happy to have spotted the #DARTMission impact flash and ejecta cloud with our portable telescope in Ileret, Northern Kenya. We don’t yet know what the future holds for optical astronomy in Kenya, but we can certainly say it started with a bang! @turkanabasin @TU_Kenya

It's a beautiful day for the Edinburgh Doors Open Days @RoyalObs! We can't wait to show you some of the amazing science that is happening here 🌟 #ROEOpen

[Colin Snodgrass @colinsnodgrass]

If you are in Edinburgh and want to learn more about the #DARTMission and @DartOptik (and all the other exciting research going on at the @RoyalObs), this weekend we are open to the public. Come along!

[Dr Rebecca Forsberg @kaosteorin]

See that plume? All four telescopes of @ESO 's VLT will be looking towards the DART impact, to study the plume and obtain clues to the early Solar System ☄️🛰️ I've talked with @CyrielleOpitom and her colleagues who will lead the observations✨ https://t.co/Lb8NswAaG5

[AstroTU-Kenya @AstroTU_Kenya]

Many thanks to @DartOptik for giving the astrophysics postgrads, @juotca254 and Vincent of @TU_Kenya, the opportunity to be part of the mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects.

[Physics Astro @ Edin @PhysAstroEd]
