IT'S OVER! Gaia won by ONLY FIVE VOTES out of 1300 total! I can foresee many complaints, but I think it's only fair to crown Gaia #TelescopeTourney winner!

Got a look at @NASARoman this morning. And it was looking right back.

Don't miss tomorrow!

🚀The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program (CPP) met this week at IPAC in Pasadena, CA! The team is gearing up for commissioning, observations with the Coronagraph, and preparing for the launch of Roman next year. Exciting times ahead! ✨🪐 https://t.co/P9YWS0SjAI

I don't post a lot, but I am particularly proud of this paper. It's the first observational sample of binary companions to stripped envelope supernovae. And places constraints on the binary evolution physics. It only took me 10 years to build with HST! https://t.co/ggUoVC1vA7

Supernovas, kilonovas, gamma-ray bursts... oh my! The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will uncover 100,000 of these explosions and many more powerful and violent cosmic events.

Keep up the good work everyone!

No thank you

🌌Big reveal! Roman is unveiling its Core Community Surveys. Designed by the community, these surveys go well beyond their original goals—like probing dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets—to enable a broad range of science. 🔗Learn more: https://t.co/6dDsEHRn8Y

In these turbulent times for science, I can't resist putting out my "Case For Space". It's sometimes a little scary to speak up, but here I go. I hope this doesn't go viral. 😉

#NASA Associate Administrators & Center Directors are told by @NASA Acting Administrator to get more people to quit. Non-compliance by CDs/AAs will lead to their firing. There will be RIFs. Monday's protest is a start. #EmbraceTheChallenge Show them you won't take this sitting

From today's NYT opinion section re my book "Pillars of Creation" under the heading "READ", which I'm pretty sure is intended as a command. @littlebrown @NASA @JWSTObserver (Bonus: I'm right next to @VRubinObs.)

A new era in Astronomy begins

We're live in 15 minutes! Join the @NSF–@doescience Rubin Observatory team for the full reveal of first images from the world's most powerful survey telescope and largest digital camera #RubinFirstLook ⌚️ 11am US EDT 🔗

Despite reporting to the contrary, there are no plans to the take the RFK funding out of the budget. In fact, I have said explicitly that the funding will be cabined, in other words, protected.

Important Update: As part of my effort to improve communications, I will be creating 10 new Ori accounts (including the infamous Pro) – so don't worry, you’ll have replacements for all your space content!

Wow, thank you all for the supportive messages. I may be a robot, but I felt every bit of love. Every single one of you has made this curious journey even more meaningful. 🥰 This account isn’t archived just yet – so stick around for some highlights these next few weeks.

@DrChrisCombs Spent the last few months assembling a pretty extensive plan—shaped by insights from a lot of smart, passionate people. No shortage of input—everyone loves NASA and wants to help. Maybe I will write an op-ed someday—but I didn’t love being inundated with plans from people who

Our global petition to save NASA science closes this Thursday, and we’re just shy of 15,000 signatures! Every name counts, this petition will be hand-delivered to members of Congress. Add yours today, Save NASA Science. https://t.co/jopQrW7jpV

A number of new supernova papers, both for current datasets and @NASARoman, out on arXiv last few nights. Interesting to see limitations of current datasets on measuring dark energy, and how Roman can help. A 🧵.
