L2 is going to get pretty crowded at the end of the decade! What with #JWST, #Gaia, upcoming #Euclid, #Plato, and my favorite, #CometInterceptor. Its job? To wait patiently for an Oort Cloud #Comet to come visit so it can take a closer look. The waiting is the hardest part…

I’m not sure what’s worse: #X or TweetX. Really puts SPACEX in perspective.

Je trouve vraiment bizarre pour que la couverture d’un numéro sur le dessin numérique vous utilisez une image générée par IA. Personne n’a remarqué que le cheval avait trois oreilles?

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

@bradtravelers Thank you! And doubly thank you for being one of the reasons I made it this far.

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

I don’t even have the words 🤯 Thank you @bradtravelers - for everything!

[Brad Wright 🇨🇦 @bradtravelers]

@KWilsonMG @amandatapping @stargatecommand Love hearing that!

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

My post doc won’t start for another few months, but until then I need to continue on analyzing data and writing papers - despite not having a salary. Remind me why I went into research?

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

We need to have a #NaNoWriMo for like, academic papers. If articles worked towards my word count I’d fee much better about this month!

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

Maybe the reason they keep us all fighting amongst ourselves for funding is they know we’re one bad day from being mad scientist super villains if we could afford it.

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

@AhrensScience It’s not space specific but this will do the trick!

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

It’s one of those days where you walk 3k without even leaving the apartment.

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

I think the cutest response to me getting my PhD was when my fiancé told me he could no longer eat apples, because it would “keep the doctor away” 🥹

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

One thing they don’t tell you about dating another scientist is that you occasionally buy the same shirt, and you might not tell until you take off your sweaters that you both chose to wear the same one that day. IDK, it seems like something they should warn you about.

@a_santerne Félicitations!

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

I know everyone is telling me to rest, but I’m just so excited to get back into writing, book covers, painting - all the hobbies that had had to take a step back these past months!

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

@sgrouffal @arxiv_org Massive congratulations!

[😡fermion, PhD @angryfermion]

STEM majors be like "i know my worth"

and then only make $30k in grad school

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

@a_santerne THEN HOW WILL HE DEFEND? He’ll have to do a PhD offense…

#PhDone

[Sarah E Anderson @thecometologist]

Today, two lifelong dreams of mine came true:
1) I became a doctor of astrophysics
2) I acquired a sword
DURING A SOLAR ECLIPSE!
My heart is full!
