The end of Gaia observations will be a sad day, but I think it's also something worth celebrating, as Gaia has been an incredibly successful mission. And best of all, the data is completely open and free for anyone to access - it's a monumental triumph of open science. 🔭

The @esa.int Gaia satellite will take its final scientific measurements on Wednesday. 🔭 This will conclude a 12 year series of continuous observations. Larger Gaia data releases are still in progress, but Gaia has already had a HUGE impact on our understanding of the #milkyway. (Image: ESA)

Come work with me to coordinate satellite observations and make our orbital environment more sustainable! (Kindly ignore the Oct 31 "deadline," and note that while it says La Serena, other locations are likely OK; clarification forthcoming.) Qs welcome! 🔭 recruiting2.ultipro.com/SPA1004AURA/...

Paper day today! 🎉 So excited to share this work investigating how mass transfer leaves imprints on the asteroseismic signals of a star: arxiv.org/abs/2403.05627. More in the thread below! 🧵

You know it's a good day when you spend the whole day working on a Gaia DR3 hackathon with your colleagues! 🤩

Looking for a #astronomy postdoc this cycle? Excited about Rubin/LSST, big data/AI, building tools, finding the weird/wild/wonderful things in surveys? Check out the DiRAC Fellowship! jobregister.aas.org/ad/9be8c8f3
