An object that is either a low-mass star or something known as a brown dwarf is hurtling through space. The so-called hypervelocity object is traveling through the Milky Way at around a million miles an hour and may be on course to escape our galaxy.

Congratulations Alexia Bravo for spectacular work. This research helps us to identify brown dwarf binaries from other outliers. Congratulations whole @backyardworlds team.
Congrats to Backyard Worlds research intern Alexia Bravo (USNO) on this exciting new result about brown dwarf spectral binaries! Follow-up spectroscopy came from SOAR via the AEON queue. @NOIRLabAstro @NOIRLabScience @backyardworlds

How do astronomers determine the age of the planets and stars?✨ @UCSDAstro Prof Adam Burgasser takes you through the tools scientists use to provide estimates on ages. Related: how do you fit 4 billion candles on a cake?🎂 https://t.co/t3GRrChy6W

Dear Tourist, Put your golf bag down ⛳️ Put those dock shoes back in your closet 👞 Hang up that polo shirt 👕 Take a seat. Lets have a conversation about Hawaii's tourism industry, settler colonialism, climate change, and how Indigenous #LandBack movements are the way forward.
"Hawai‘i can successfully recover if a new environmental governance emerges that intertwines sustainable ecosystem resilience with the profound cultural knowledge of its Indigenous communities," argues @KeoluFox in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://t.co/E3FSFzFVpH

Congratulations to @astroganze for his successful PhD defense today! Christian basically did two dissertations in Galactic Archaeology, 1 using low mass stars & brown dwarfs and 1 using stellar streams. Up next: a 5-yr Stanford Science Fellowship .@ucsdastro .@UCSDPhySci

✨We had a full house this afternoon for the watercolor workshop at #AAS242, and it was the PERFECT way to end the meeting. I loved making a giant creative mess with fellow space nerds of all ages and backgrounds! 💜🙏🏻 @browndwarfs

@astrochic73 Lol :). @browndwarfs and I are doing an experiment and hosting a painting workshop on Thursday afternoon after the last plenary. We’ll see how it goes! 🤷♀️
