Astronomers for Planet Earth are submitting a statement about some of the proposed megaconstellations that would ruin ground-based astronomy to the FCC.
You can read the statement below: 🔭☄️
Starting this Friday, four separate #JWST programmes will be exploring physical processes in Jupiter's atmosphere and ionosphere. We're asking amateur astronomers to help provide context imaging over the next few weeks to understand how the atmosphere is changing with time. #planetaryscience

🔴 [Bilan été]
3ᵉ été le plus chaud depuis 1900 avec 2 épisodes caniculaires, 27 jours en vague de chaleur.
Les températures maximales au-dessus des normales 2 jours sur 3
Le seuil des 35 °C atteint sur plus de 80 % du territoire et celui des 40 °C sur plus de 20 %

A white protoplanetary disc at the centre of the picture takes up most of the frame. The elliptical cloud of dust and gas consists of some gaps creating a ring-like structure to the cloud. In one of the larger gaps/rings a little dot (a planet) is visible.
A very hungry planet! 🪐
What appears to be a ripple in space is actually a newborn planet, eating its way through its dusty cradle around a younger version of our Sun 🌞

In case this could be of interest to you or anyone else in here: we have 2-year postdoc positions open right now at ULiege, plus another call for more prestigious 3-year postdoc fellowships from the FNRS coming later in January. www.recherche.uliege.be/cms/c_133521...
An image of a nearby star and its vicinity. The star itself has been blocked out and its bright light has been removed. A dashed circle with a star symbol at the centre of the image marks the star’s location. A fuzzy blue disc surrounds the star. An orange spot, near to the star and inside this disc, is identified as a planet orbiting the star. A fainter orange spot far from the centre marks a distant star.
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has found evidence of a cold, Saturn-mass planet around the star TWA 7, seemingly sculpting its disc of debris!
If confirmed, this would be Webb’s first direct image discovery of a planet.

Astro job alert! 🚨🔭 @science.esa.int is hiring a Project Scientist for NASA's Roman mission, to join our ESA office here at @spacetelescope.bsky.social in Baltimore! Check out the job ad and please share with anyone who might be interested! jobs.esa.int/job/Baltimor...
The best dark sky in the world - the Atacama Desert in Chile, which hosts many @eso.org telescopes - is under threat from an industrial project. 🔭
Astronomers can sign a petition in favour of moving the planned industrial project: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject.
This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

📣 Hiring! I am looking for PhD/postdoc candidates to work on foundation models for science at @ULiege, with a special focus on weather and climate systems. 🌏 Three positions are open around deep learning, physics-informed FMs and inverse problems with FMs.
If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control.

Interested in exoplanet imaging? Please consider submitting an entry to the phase II of the Exoplanet Imaging Data Challenge, and gain eternal glory for extracting the position and spectrum of injected exoplanets in a few VLT/SPHERE and Gemini/GPI data sets! 🔭🪐 exoplanet-imaging-challenge.github.io
Using JWST, a team of researchers including scientists from ULiège has succeeded in measuring the isotopes of ammonia in the atmosphere of a cold brown dwarf. This study shows that the isotopic abundance of ammonia can be used to study gas giant formation. www.psilab.uliege.be/cms/c_120604...
