Our #AAS242 booth is now packed up and ready for the trip home, but we wanted to thank everyone who stopped by; whether you were learning about us for the first time or are a long-time user, it was lovely to meet with and chat with you all. We will see everyone again in New Orleans for #AAS243!

Safety first at #AAS242

And now on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4GzGiXHCvA the final #AAS242 presser (or rather Seminar for Science Writers) "Get Ready for the North American Solar Eclipses" 2023/2024 - topics (and links re. the other four press conferences) at https://aas.org/meetings/aas242/press-kit#Wed_am

Hello #AAS242 -- join us at 9:30 in the Exhibitor Theater (the left side of the exhibit hall when you walk in from the lobby) for a presentation by Ian Evans on the #Chandra Source Catalog. The CSC and its upcoming 2.1 release unlock the 24-year legacy of our mission to enable everyone -- even people who have never looked at an X-ray photon before -- to be an X-ray expert. #Astrodon #Astronomy

All the submitted or published papers coming with the first four #AAS242 press conferences I've found:

The final presser tomorrow will be devoted completely to "the North American Solar Eclipses", the annular this and the total next year.

We're at the 242nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this week!

If you're attending, be sure to stop by our booth and learn about our organization's mission to expand the frontiers of space astronomy. #AAS242

And here comes already the 4th and penultimate #AAS242 press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnrM1Bpt5og - the subject is "Hot Jupiters and Hungry Black Holes", topics at https://aas.org/meetings/aas242/press-kit#Tue_pm

My favorite - and most surprising - #AAS242 result so far: for *alll* galaxies in the #JWST #JADES fields for which spectroscopic #redshifts exist they confirm the photometric redshifts (which are often seen with great skepticism), without a single exception. More JADES stuff in https://aas.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/AAS242_Mon1_MarciaRieke.pdf and https://twitter.com/cosmos4u/status/1665761278244028428 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.02465 and https://archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/jades and https://jades-survey.github.io and https://jades.idies.jhu.edu/ and https://webbtelescope.org/contents/news-releases/2023/news-2023-127 - the latter a viewer.

I'll be giving a talk tonight at Astronomy on Tap Albuquerque on #JWST's first look at the universe.

7pm at the Marble Brewery

If you are at #aas242 or are near Albuquerque, come grab a drink and hear about some of the epic science that the observatory has done in its first year.

Now on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3S-8d9rWVM the 2nd #AAS242 presser "Solar Swirls, Satellites, and Saving the Night Sky": topics at https://aas.org/meetings/aas242/press-kit#Mon_pm

Do you think it's obvious who we are?

#AAS242 folks, the Chandra booth awaits! Come pick up the daily button and chat with the folks at your favorite NASA Flagship X-ray Observatory!

#Astrodon #Astronomy #ChandraXray

Are you at #AAS242? Be sure to swing by the #ChandraXray booth every day -- we have limited edition buttons for each day of the conference. Today's button is M101, a nearby spiral galaxy. With our excellent angular resolution, we are able to reveal the parts of this galaxy where energetic events are happening! #Astrodon

The AAS committee on #LightPollution/#Satellites/etc. gets a shoutout in this week's #AIP Science Policy news roundup. #AAS242

#NASAWebb continues to harvest a bounty of galaxies from the early universe. Its latest discoveries: galaxies that existed less than 400 million years after the big bang, and star factories filled with massive stars that transformed the universe: https://webbtelescope.pub/3OPPqMf #AAS242 #JWST #astronomy
