🚀 Astrophysicist @uoft building and launching near-space telescopes with @NASA 🛰️🔭🌌

[Emaad Paracha @emaadparacha]

Proud to share that I helped launch one of the highest resolution telescopes (SuperBIT) in the world in collaboration with @NASA, @UofT , @Princeton, and @durham_uni from Wanaka, New Zealand! SuperBIT flew around the world for 40 days at around 110,000 feet, 3x as high as planes!

Did anyone just hear a huge blast in downtown Toronto? At 12:18am?

@ronintres @SpaceflightNow Are you still waiting?

@MarcWeinbergWX @MarcWeinbergWX I actually saw it in Toronto but 2 hours after you posted this….. so there was another one??

Greener and bigger than it looks in this video

@AribaShahid LOL yes!!! Frankness in journalism

@pc_optimum can you please DM? There's been a hack of points and even though all my cards were "Earn only" someone spent all my points at stores in Etobicoke. Please investigate this and return my points.

And thus making the world’s largest sandwich, made of Earth itself 🥪🌍🍞

A few days ago, I made the world’s largest sandwich 🥪

A sandwich as big as Earth itself 🌍

How?

[Emaad Paracha @emaadparacha]

Here I am in New Zealand (in Auckland, NZ) and in Spain(near Pruna, Spain) with the pieces of bread 🍞

Le projet du télescope SuperBIT a reçu du financement de l’ASC au titre de l’initiative VITES. C’était l’un des projets de notre campagne Strato-Science de 2019. 🎈https://t.co/ZXs6lHD4R8

Félicitations à l’équipe de l’Université de Toronto!

Back in April, we launched the SuperBIT telescope on a scientific super pressure balloon that circled the southern hemisphere for 39 days. But what is SuperBIT and what is it doing? Learn more about the telescope from the science team.

Watch the documentary on SuperBIT - a near-space telescope launched with @NASA that was the focus of my PhD project, made by the @DunlapInstitute!

The documentary features our testing of the telescope, and premiers on YouTube today at 11am Eastern! 🚀🛰️ https://t.co/cwilRSJbRJ
