~700 light-years away, the darkest planet ever discovered orbiting a star is less reflective than coal. Some scientists think an eerie deep red glow would emanate from its burning atmosphere – the air of this planet is as hot as lava. We love it. https://t.co/XomU9O3eNA

Congratulations to @CaitlynWilhelm on her first first-author paper! Through >270,000 VPLanet simulations, she showed most planets will either be ice free or totally ice-covered. She also found that equatorial ice belts should be more common than ice caps. https://t.co/2vepE8sxed

Do you ever try to fix something and end up making it 10000000x worse? That's the start of my day. 🙃

Murphy's Law is in affect today. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong...

Its crunch time so working overtime is nice but so is sleep

You know you're a workaholic when your boss is telling you one of your jobs for work is to take care of yourself and get rest...

VPLanet can simulate seasonal climates, ice ages, and "snowball Earth" events on #exoplanets using a 1-D energy balance model and dynamic ice sheets. Check out https://t.co/TsTtfzb2Sc to see its predictions for #Earth over 1 year, and over 1 million years. #astrobiology

@HenryLaxpro Its hard to keep moving forward when it seems like everything I do seems wrong :(

This quote speaks to me on a personal level. Stephen Hawking was one of my idols when I was a kid wanting to be an astronomer amd understand the universe. I'm extremely saddened by his passing.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.” ~ Stephen Hawking RIP 1942 - 2018

@DavidKHarbour Hmm, if you get over 200k we’ll ask the Captain if you can join our expedition to the Antarctic and dance with the penguins.

The first step to getting better is admitting you have a problem

My first offical publication as co-author! Super thankful for the opportunity to work on this! #WomenInSTEM #astronomy

Men,

Don't say you have a mother, a sister, a daughter...

Say you have a father, a brother, a son who can do better.

We all can.

Let me just cut to the chase with the #metoo trend. Dear men, nearly every woman you know has been sexually assaulted or harassed.
