Rebecca Oppenheimer @roppenhe.bsky.social · 08/10/2025I love stamps and the USPS. Here are two new examples of expedited or same day delivery stamps that feature astrophysics. These I got recently to move physical items swiftly through the mail, and the mail is one of the most fabulous things we have in the US. 0130

Rebecca Oppenheimer @roppenhe.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Regarding Gliese 229B, seen first in 1994 by me: a team lead by Jerry Xuan revealed it to be two strange worlds whipping around each other every twelve days as they orbit a nearby star with other companions or planets. Binary worlds are no longer sci-fi. They exist. www.caltech.edu/about/news/i...caltech.eduIt's Twins! Mystery of Famed Brown Dwarf SolvedAstronomers have discovered that a well-studied brown dwarf is in fact two that are orbiting closely around each other 1206
