LOOK UP: This evening, watch Makaliʻi - the constellation Pleiades, or Messier 45 - rise in the east at the exact same time the Sun sets in the west. In Hawaiian culture, this marks the beginning of Makahiki season, an important time of peace, appreciation, and celebration of the Hawaiian New Year. Every sunset after tonight, you’ll see the Makaliʻi star cluster higher and higher above the horizon as Makahiki season continues through late January or February 👉https://t.co/G1VUUjaaNb

@TrentDupuy I come home to random tropical fruits on my lanai from my neighbors, so it's not all bad here in Hilo ;)

@_sublunar_ No one told me to negotiate for a barley allocation when I got hired. Now I feel like I missed an opportunity.

When we saw this #JWST spectrum of the peculiar 03fg-like or "super-Chandra" type Ia #Supernova 2022pul, our jaws hit the floor.

@sciencef1rst There will be a virtual component, and we plan to record talks so that they can be viewed by those who live in less conducive time zones!

Please come and join us to discuss the current and future status of multi-messenger astronomy!

[NOIRLab Science @NOIRLabScience]

The workshop Windows on the Universe: Establishing the Infrastructure for a Collaborative Multi-messenger Ecosystem, will be in Tucson, Arizona on 16–18 October 2023. First deadline: 1 September. For more information and to register see https://t.co/RuoQ3yxr3E. (1/2)

@brianschatz Pretty sure I bought the last bottle on the Big Island two months ago....

LSU has won its seventh College World Series title and first since 2009, beating Florida 18-4 a day after a 20-run loss.

@AstrogirlE33 I JUST finished rewatching it again and I agree- what an amazing show!!!

[Jennifer Andrews @jendrews]

@astrothad Make sure to check out Charlie's paper too, which comes up with slightly different results using different types of data and analysis! https://t.co/vIOV7jRfnf

[Jennifer Andrews @jendrews]

Also includes archival NIR data from @GeminiObs North and new data from @mmtobservatory (two of my absolute favorite telescopes!)

[Jennifer Andrews @jendrews]

Excited for this paper on the progenitor of SN 2023ixf! Jacob and our team used Spitzer and NIR photometry (including some taken less than TWO WEEKS BEFORE EXPLOSION!) to determine a period of the RSG progenitor, which may have been over 17 Msun in size! https://t.co/vjLYFzINaA

@astro_dan_mil Just showed this in a journal club I gave at Gemini, and everyone loved it!!!

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

'Astronomers' is an anagram for 'moon starers.'

[Jennifer Andrews @jendrews]

@astro_dan_mil @GeminiObs @CNN Wooo! It's great to see all the time we spent setting up the OT for the right dithers and exposure times and the amazing post-proccessing done by our SOS team is being appreciated by all ;)

[Jennifer Andrews @jendrews]

@astro_dan_mil @GeminiObs We also have the data reduced with DRAGONS available for anyone to use. We're getting it all up on the archive very soon, but in the meantime feel free to let me know if you want access to any reduced GMOS spectra or imaging of this object from June 3!

[Jennifer Andrews @jendrews]

@SquigglyVolcano As long as I don't look out my bedroom window and see lava, I'm happy! Oh the joys of living in the east rift zone region!

[Jennifer Andrews @jendrews]

It me. And all of my other amazing Gemini-N colleagues!

One of the largest, brightest and closest supernovae seen for a decade, #SN2023ixf, has been imaged in spectacular detail by the Gemini North telescope at the @GeminiObs in #Hawaii. #supernova https://t.co/qpBCliPriI via @forbes
