@Vega18h37m Thank you Greg! I really appreciate all of your help and mentorship!

This week’s image is of NGC 6334, the Cat’s Paw Nebula! This emission nebula’s red glow is due to light from the enshrouded stars exciting the surrounding gas. Check out the 🧵 for papers featuring nebulae observed by @GeminiObs! @NOIRLabAstro @NOIRLabAstroES @AURADC @AURAinChile

Wasn’t expecting to see this in the sky today

Another week, another Gemini picture!

This week’s image is of Supernova 2020fqv! @GeminiObs GMOS-N captured this supernova peaking out of the dramatic merger between two spiral galaxies. Check out the 🧵 for more supernovae paper highlights! @NOIRLabAstro @NOIRLabAstroES @AURADC

Sun, clouds, a few tourists, rain, humidity, lasers, stars, galaxies, satellites, more lasers, Moon, and Sun at @GeminiObs North @maunakeaobs!

This week’s Gemini Picture Of the Week (GPOW) is out!

[US National Gemini Office @usngo]

This week's image is of the Orion "Bullets," which was captured with @GeminiObs GSAOI. These structures result from iron gas (blue tips) rushing through neutral hydrogen gas (red pillars) due to nearby star formation. Check out a few paper highlights in the thread! @NOIRLabAstro

[US National Gemini Office @usngo]

With the release @NASAWebb's first amazing IR images, we want to showcase some of the great science conducted with our @GeminiObs GMOS-N on Stephan's Quintet, both with imaging and spectroscopy. Check out a few paper highlights in the thread! @NOIRLabAstro @NOIRLabAstroES @AURADC

@MiaDoesAstro @Stanford @AmherstCollege Congrats Mia! 🎉 I am so excited for you!

[Brian Merino @bmerino95]

@astroshrey Congrats! That is so awesome 👏 🎊

@itsdougthepug Is this the superb owl I’ve been hearing about? #SuperBowl

[Brian Merino @bmerino95]

I can’t remember if she’s had a pup cup before, but she definitely loved it. #DutchBros #its2sdayinnit

It is funny to see that the playlist that @Spotify shares to guilt me into returning doesn't even have access to all of the songs. #Spotifydeleted

[Brian Merino @bmerino95]

Thank you for the card @ellantonia_ ! I’m so glad to hear that pep is doing well

[Brian Merino @bmerino95]

Really cool to see my old physics professor (Dr. Barranco) breaking down the Astro peer review process so casually in front of @LeoDiCaprio #SFSU #DontLookUp

[Brian Merino @bmerino95]

Finally finished putting up our Christmas lights. #winterhaven

This isn’t what we meant when we said that we were waiting for the new telescope to drop.

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

The James Webb Space Telescope’s target launch date is moving from Dec. 18 to no earlier than Dec. 22 to allow for additional testing, following an incident during launch preparations that caused a vibration throughout the observatory. More details: https://t.co/ALRUp69nsT.

Went downstairs to get some water and came back to this smug little man on my chair

[Brian Merino @bmerino95]

@WorthingtonLab May your mother Rest In Peace. I’m am very sorry for your loss.
