The TRAPPIST-1 planets now have the best measurements of any set of terrestrial planets other than our Solar System. and they look different than our terrestrial planets. With Caroline Dorn @Nonomamades @ElsaDucrot @LaetitiaDelrez Michaël Gillon @AbVsm @brettmor @fselsis +++.
The TRAPPIST-1 star is home to the largest batch of roughly Earth-size planets ever found. Now we know even more about the densities of these seven rocky worlds. And the composition of the TRAPPIST-1 planets could be notably different than Earth's!

Nice visualization of the black hole binary mergers detected (as of 2018; now there are of order 300 detections):
“I am most proud of is the LIGO-Virgo Binary-Black-Hole Orrery. I felt like I was part of a cool secret because these events were not public at the time, and I was an undergraduate working on a really exciting project” – Teresita Ramirez . #HumansOfLIGO #BlackHoleWeek
