#HST Cycle 33 results are starting to post! I'm super pumped to announce that I'm leading a long term monitoring project of the TW Hya disk, tracking the evolution of its unique disk shadows 🔭🧪 #astrosci

Images of the TW Hya disk from NASA/STScI showing the presence of one shadow seen in 2016 and a series of two shadows seen in 2021. After five years a new shadow had appeared and the shadow seen in 2016 had moved from roughly the 10 o'clock position on the sky to the 7 o'clock position.

Wanna misalign a disc? Who ya gonna call? 👻 Please enjoy the fantastic summary by @richardalexander.bsky.social of our work on IRAS04125, the enigmatic planet-disc-binary misaligned system which we suggest is from a triple stellar system dissolution. Keep your eyes peeled for further work!

Can penguins fly? How do aeroplanes work? Does hand washing actually get rid of germs? How do natural water filters work? I was the guest judge for a primary school science competition so now I know! The best school event I've ever participated in, thankyou Whitnash Primary!

Coding with Sophie is back again with some new experiments* after the holiday break. Get in touch with us if you'd like us at your school! *Liquid Nitrogen and superconducting magnets not guaranteed at every class.

Guys if you haven't seen this already CHECK IT OUT. We found that when you take into account that planet forming discs can be curved/warped the dust naturally collects into rings. This has huge implications as @astrohoss.bsky.social brilliantly explains 👇🏻
