Kind of amazing to be giving a talk again after so long! It’s been great being at an in person conference again 😁😁

(please retweet!) I'm looking for students interested in pursuing a PhD in computational galaxy formation, computational plasma physics, and machine learning applied to those areas! Please see web.pa.msu.edu/people/osheabr… for details and contact info!

Let's just see what JWST observed yesterday...
Oh, good god.

Ok, here's a for real JWST Jupiter. The read noise (vertical lines) is... significant. But, look, the GRS has its own diffraction spikes. This is the NIRCam data with f322w2-f323n overlaid in red and f212n in sky blue. Bg is grayscale combo of both.

Our #phangs team was up in the early morning with Judy Schmidt waiting to download our 1st!! NASA Webb Telescope obs... data are just ✨miraculous✨ lighting up dark dust lanes, revealing earliest stages of star formation in detail & ALL THAT FEEDBACK #pinwheelonfire #ngc7496

I think I figured out how the #jwst EROs were *really* chosen … this is the “JWST HOSPITALITY TABLE” in the cafe STScI for those folks doing commissioning at odd hours …

This is great - a slide deck for anyone giving a talk on #JWST or its first images, from STScI. Nicely done.

#JWST ERO data now available on MAST ... have fun y'all! stsci.edu/contents/news/…

With some shrewd reasoning about ionization balance, Evans proposed that the Southern Ring Nebula has a binary central star in 1968!

The insight has earned him 5 citations. ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1968MNSSA.…

Exactly one month ago I sat in on a very secret, very special morning meeting. I'm thrilled to share this piece NYT Science about visual language, blockbuster science, and what it's like to be the first person alive to see the sky in a new way. nytimes.com/2022/07/12/sci…

Such heavenly views ✨ NASA #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #ColdplayBerlin 🤍

Schafler Auditorium was full of excited scientists this morning, including many who have joint appointments at Space Telescope Science Institute and Johns Hopkins Physics & Astronomy.

It's not every day you get to join your neighbors in witnessing scientific history that they made happen!

Reality is setting in for astronomers …

Lots of Spitzer YSOs shall be revealed as two-for-ones in the coming years.

Have to do this.

I remembered the left one when it came out. I was just an undergrad. But I do remember that creepy smiling face.

For non-astronomers: i promise you this spectrum immediately caught the eye of all astronomers. It’s hard to emphasize how incredible it is. This is one of the most distant galaxies ever found, and to see one emission line in a spectrum is often pretty special….

OK while everyone is waiting to download those FITS files tomororw, take some time to check out our newest interactive preview tool, Jdaviz! It is SO cool and gives you so many ways to do previews and quick analysis without having to waste time writing your own scripts!

Pratik Gandhi z~8 galaxy was in 5 hours with NIRSpec. The z~4 galaxy with NIRCam prism was detected hydrogen and oxygen in 6 minutes. Also cool!
