Babatunde Akinsanmi presents two "rugby ball" (close to the Roche limit) shaped ultra-hot Jupiters.
2) Measuring phase curves can give insight into their tidal deformation (see cyan circle)
3) Assumption of sphericity leads to inaccuracies in measured radius and gravity.

We’ve just let a private company do this to the whole planet. You can argue how useful or problematic it is, but the fact remains that most countries on Earth, ergo most humans who have as much right to the night sky as anyone else, didn’t consent to this level of space usage >
Thanks @DanClery for your Science article.

Lots of interesting details here! A few stand out to me.
1) The paper has been submitted for publication in the peer reviewed journal Ocean Science. That's good for the scientific process.
New images of Titan! @NASAWebb and @keckobservatory captured Saturn's largest moon in near-infrared, revealing clouds in the northern hemisphere near Kraken Mare. The data will be used to investigate Titan's fascinating atmosphere and climate. Details: https://t.co/EZcd7EEvFP
