What do you do when you have an empty focus in a professional telescope? You put a screen and watch the Moon! That’s what we did last night at the UT3 telescope, here at Paranal Observatory. pic.twitter.com/7bZ5EaRJ3E

To students nervous about giving a research talk:

In the first talk I ever gave, I didn’t know the answer to a question and I started to cry. If you can get through a talk without crying, you’re one up on me!
And if you do implode like I did ... your career can survive it!

An exciting planet candidate - a cold super-Earth - was announced today by a raft of #exoplaneteers including twitterati @johannateske, @astrojennb, and more, orbiting one of the closest stars to us - a nearby, fast-moving red star called Barnard's star!https://t.co/eBldlV5Y1G

The final shutdown commands were sent to the spacecraft yesterday -- the same day, 388 years ago, that Johannes Kepler himself died. #CosmicPoetry #Kepler @NASAKepler

Patriarchy teaches masc people that it’s okay to be poor emotional communicators because the people around them will pick up the slack and or accept the silence, and if someone hasn’t reminded you today of how shitty that is, let me be the person in your world who said: it’s shit

Cleaning the primary mirror of the UT4 telescope with CO2. We do this every month or so. The telescope is inclined about 40 degrees, so that the CO2 can slide down the mirror and remove any dust that might be present. pic.twitter.com/0yHBaop5OK

Hey Twitter! I'm looking for an expert on evolutionary biology for an article I'm working on, and I'm in a time crunch. Anyone matching that description available to talk later today (or later this week, if today's not possible)?

Once more, with feeling - many @BritishInEurope have structured their lives around Freedom of Movement across more than one EU27 country. Their businesses and jobs depend on it, their family structures (academic two body solution, anyone?) rely on it.

30 years ago tonight, the Green Bank 300-foot radio telescope collapsed.
— ✨ Emily Levesque 🏳️🌈 (@emsque) November 16, 2018
COLLAPSED.
Amazingly nobody was hurt (though the telescope operator drove to the nearby 140ft in a frenzy and later found a bolt from the dish on his backseat that had shattered the rear window). pic.twitter.com/2PEWJeYnvI
Et il aurait tort d'y croire, parce que si notre Voie Lactée abrite effectivement 300 milliards d'étoiles, il y a environ 2000 milliards de galaxies comme la Voie Lactée dans l'univers, chacune contenant des centaines de milliards d'étoiles.

And it's live! In radial velocity data spanning 20 years, astronomers have found the faint sinusoidal signal of a planet around #BarnardsStar, one of our Sun's nearest neighbours! https://t.co/woZ6pdXgCO pic.twitter.com/JNFzbYdfSt

El patrón estándar preservado en la Oficina Internacional de Pesas y Medidas (imagen) ya no pesa lo mismo que sus copias.

ATTENTION exoplanet folks who are looking for a postdoc job! I would love to talk to you about opportunities at UT Austin. We have a vibrant, growing exoplanet group here with observers, theorists, and instrument builders. Email/DM me (and apply!) https://t.co/7BL6dO6W3Z

Today we did something suuuuuuuper cool here at @ESO Paranal - we got to see the moon through the empty focus of UT3! Here is the moon at twilight.... 🌘🔭😍😍 pic.twitter.com/lLnvMhn6MW

Spent some time at lunch today making a stylised exoplanet #DataVis of all nearby exoplanets in projected-3D (grey lines show height/depth out of the galactic plane). Circles show stars by temp. Rings show #exoplanets by detection technique. pic.twitter.com/h9agUqNecr
