The celebratory ice cream may be plain vanilla. But the #SphereX mission will be anything but! This industrious small telescope will take spectra in 102 colors in every 6-arcsecond pixel across the whole sky. Your favorite star or galaxy? Included! Launching real soon now. Go SPHEREx ! 🚀 🔭

My previous profile picture was taken above Eaton Canyon in happier times - just a week ago. But the fog looks like smoke from #EatonFire, and I can't look at it any more. So instead, a restful image from vacation in England.

Attending #AAS245? New to AAS? Enjoy the smorgasbord! Start with the iPosters and chat with some authors. Don’t know much about the topic? It's ok, just say so. Presenters love to explain why their work is significant!

In So Cal, still waiting for the first drop of rain since spring. But beauty in the weather sometimes. Foothills of the San Gabriels, right where it gets too steep to build houses.
