Moments before a dying star exploded, it spilled its deepest secrets. https://t.co/sJa4icBUut

Before exploding, a star shed most of its layers, giving a glimpse at a massive star’s deep interior. The event may represent a new kind of supernova.

@gbrammer TIL that when imaged by JWST, we discover that perfectly normal-looking galaxies are actually churning whirlpools of Eldritch Hell.

https://t.co/8BNETj2Qyx A nice story about a discovery made by a former member of my group here at FIT (Brett Addison, class of 2008). Panther Pride, and proud professor moment! This story has been picked up also in CNET, Esquire and other online news sources.

Queensland astronomers have discovered a new planet, but it offers a welcome far too warm for any human visitors.

Astro friends: I'm looking for programming projects suitable for UG and Grad extragalactic astronomy projects. Ideas? Resources?

How many more people have to die before we reinstate the assault weapons ban & the limit on high-capacity magazines & pass universal background checks? After they passed in 1994, there was a big drop in mass shooting deaths. When the ban expired, they rose again. We must act now.

Great profile of Tabby Boyajian!

Tabetha Boyajian made history when she and a group of citizen scientists spotted a star that defied physics. What will she do next?

.@JeffFlake-You just said if Kavanaugh lied, his nomination is over. Well guess what. He lied about not having ties to Yale, his grandfather went there. He lied about terms in yearbook, his calendar, knowledge of stolen emails and being of legal drinking age. #WithdrawKavanaugh

for the morally dense: This is why you don't elect a president who abuses women -- he will tolerate it in others, give cover to the abusers and demean women brave enough to come forward. Oh, and since abusers lie you'll have someone dishonest to the core

Everything about this "Putin thanks Trump for CIA warning" story stinks. Nearly every terror event in Russia for 20 years was created or abetted by the KGB. Feels like an excuse to feign cooperation, flatter Trump, weaken rationale for investigation.

.@realDonaldTrump now knows that his verbal abuse will no longer be tolerated. His empty chair photo opp showed he’s more interested in stunts than in addressing the needs of the American people. Poor Ryan and McConnell relegated to props. Sad!

Right #now Chandra is studying a quasar ~6 billion light years away! When viewed in 2009, a galaxy between Chandra and the quasar acted as a lens, producing 4 images! https://t.co/uZzXWeBkRG

It's not imploding. You're actively sabotaging it and ruining the lives of millions of Americans.
The Democrats ObamaCare is imploding. Massive subsidy payments to their pet insurance companies has stopped. Dems should call me to fix!

Removing public data and data access are crimes. Citizens and taxpayers should protest. Those data are OURS.

Trump's plan to deport Dreamers in 6 mos. is cruel, divisive and politically motivated. Shame on him, and shame on us for electing him.
